Section 5 - Health Hazard Data
Primary route(s) of entry: Eyes.
Health hazard/effects of over exposure: Also see Section 9 - Supplementary Information
Inhalation: Oil mist may cause irritation of the respiratory tract.
Eyes: Irritation.
Skin: Repeated or prolonged contact may cause drying and defatting of skin.
Ingestion: Not a likely route of exposure. Low order of oral toxicity; however minute amount aspirated into lungs during
ingestion may cause severe pulmonary injury.
Medical conditions aggravated by exposure: None from normal exposure.
Chemicals listed as potential carcinogen: NTP: Yes IARC: Yes OSHA: No
Emergency and first aid procedures:
Inhalation: Move to fresh air and contact physician. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
Eyes: Flush eyes with plenty of water and contact physician.
Skin: Wash with soap and water; apply medicated skin cream.
Ingestion: Contains petroleum oil. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to
prevent aspiration of liquid into lungs. Contact physician immediately.
Section 6 - Reactivity Data
Stability: Stable Conditions to avoid: Strong oxidizing materials and nickel reactive agents.
Incompatibility (Materials to avoid): Strong oxidizing agents, nickel reactive agents, aluminum, aluminum trichloride,
ethylene, p-dioane.
Hazardous decomposition products: Thermal decomposition may yield hydrogen, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, smoke,
fumes, and toxic nickel compounds.
Hazardous polymerization: Will not occur.
Section 7 - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled: Wear gloves & protective overalls. Scoop up excess, wipe up
with rags, pick-up residue with diatomaceous earth to avoid walking hazard.
Waste disposal methods: Dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations for petroleum distillates.
RCRA Hazardous Waste No.: N.A.
CERCLA Reportable Quantity: N.A.
SARA TITLE III Chemicals: CAS # 7440-02-0
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage: Store below 150潞F and above 32潞F. Store away from ignition
sources and avoid breathing vapors.
Section 8 - Control Measures
Respiratory Protection: None required if good ventilation is maintained. For enclosed areas, use NIOSH approved organic
vapor cartridge respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus.
Ventilation: Local exhaust is usually adequate.
Protective gloves: Protective gloves for hypersensitive persons.
Eye protection: Use face shield or goggles if splattering is likely.
Other protective equipment: As necessary to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact.
Work/hygienic practices: Wash hands with soap and water after use and/or before breaks, lunch and at the end of work
periods. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Section 9 - Supplementary Information
HEALTH HAZARDS - SUPPLEMENT
Inhalation: The National Toxicology Program has listed nickel and nickel oxide as possible cancer hazards. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded there was sufficient evidence that nickel refining
was carcinogenic to humans and limited evidence that nickel and certain nickel compounds were
carcinogenic to humans. IARC could not state with certainty which forms of nickel are human
carcinogens, but said 鈥?...metallic nickel seems less likely to be so than nickel subsulphide or nickel
oxides.鈥? The inhalation of nickel oxide, even at high concentrations, and of nickel powder has not
resulted in an increased incidence of malignant tumors in rodents. Studies of workers exposed to nickel
powder and to dust and fumes generated in the production of nickel alloys and of stainless steel have
not indicated a respiratory cancer hazard.
The State of California has listed Nickel under Proposition 65 as a chemical known to the state to cause
cancer.
Inhalation of airborne nickel powder at concentrations fifteen times the PEL irritated the respiratory tract
in rodents. Inhalation of nickel oxide impaired long-term lung clearance in rats and, at concentrations
fifty times the PEL, produced pneumoconiosis in hamsters.
Skin Contact: Repeated contact with metallic nickel can cause nickel sensitivity resulting in allergic skin rashes.
Wounds: Nickel powder and nickel oxide have caused tumors at the site of injection in rodents. However, studies
of nickel-containing prostheses do not suggest a significant risk for humans.
Ingestion: Nickel metal and nickel oxide have low oral toxicities: their oral rat LD50s are <9000 mg/kg and >5000
mg/kg, respectively. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration conclude that nickel and its inorganic
compounds are not carcinogenic when ingested.
Preexisting
Conditions: Sensitized individuals may experience an allergic skin rash.
