4 FIRST AID MEASURES
General Measures: Under normal handling and use, exposure to solid forms of this material present few health hazards. Subsequent operations may produce potentially hazardous dust or fumes which can be inhaled or come in contact with the skin or eyes.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, keep warm and quiet, give oxygen if breathing is difficult. Seek medical attention.
INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing, brush material off skin, wash affected area with soap and water. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
EYES: Flush eyes with lukewarm water, including under upper and lower eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Most Important Symptoms/Effects, Acute and Delayed: May cause irritation. See section 11 for more information.
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment: No other relevant information available.
5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media: Use suitable extinguishing media for surrounding material and type of fire.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: No information available.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Material: This product does not present fire or explosion hazards as shipped. Small chips, fine turnings and dust from processing may be ignitable. May emit metal oxide fumes under fire conditions.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Full face, self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing when necessary.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment, and Emergency Procedures: Wear appropriate respiratory and protective equipment specified in section 8. Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dust or fume.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up: Sweep or scoop up. Place in a closed container for further handling and disposal. Scrap can be collected for recycling.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow to enter drains or to be released to the environment.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid creating dust. Provide adequate ventilation if dusts are created. See section 8 for information on personal protection equipment.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a sealed container. Store in a cool, dry area. See section 10 for more information on incompatible materials.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits: OSHA/PEL: ACGIH/TLV:
Nickel 1 mg/m3 1.5 mg/m3
Cobalt 0.1 mg/m3 0.02 mg/m3
Chromium 1 mg/m3 0.5 mg/m3
Molybdenum 15 mg/m3 (insoluble compounds, total dust) 10 mg/m3 (insoluble compounds, inhalable)
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation to maintain exposures below occupational limits. Whenever possible the use of local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls is the preferred method of controlling exposure to airborne dust and fume to meet established occupational exposure limits. Use good housekeeping and sanitation practices. Do not use tobacco or food in work area. Wash thoroughly before eating or smoking. Do not blow dust off clothing or skin with compressed air.
Respiratory Protection: If permissible levels are exceeded, use NIOSH approved dust respirator.
Eye Protection: Safety glasses
Skin Protection: Wear impermeable gloves, protective work clothing as necessary.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Likely Routes of Exposure: Inhalation, skin, eyes. Product as shipped does not present an inhalation hazard; however subsequent operations may create dusts or fumes which could be inhaled.
Symptoms of Exposure: Fines/dusts may irritate skin and eyes.
Acute and Chronic Effects:
Nickel: The most common harmful health effect of metallic nickel in humans is an allergic skin reaction in those who are sensitive to nickel. Although nickel compounds are known human carcinogens, the evidence suggests that the relatively insoluble metallic nickel is less likely to present a carcinogenic hazard than are the nickel compounds that tend to release proportionately more nickel ion.
Cobalt: Acute exposure to cobalt metal dusts or fumes is characterized by irritation to the eyes, and to a lesser extent, irritation to the skin. Chronic exposure to cobalt metal dust or fumes may cause respiratory and dermatologic signs and symptoms. Chronic exposure to cobalt by inhalation in humans results in effects on the respiratory system, such as respiratory irritation, wheezing, asthma, decreased lung function, pneumonia, and fibrosis.
Chromium: Although much is known about the health effects of chromium compounds, the health effects of chromium metal, Cr(0), is not well studied. Due to insolubility most elements in their metallic state are not considered to be serious health hazards.
Molybdenum: No data
Acute Toxicity: No data
Carcinogenicity: Nickel: NTP: R - reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen IARC: 2B - possibly carcinogenic to humans
To the best of our knowledge the chemical, physical and toxicological characteristics of the substance are not fully known.
