Section 4: First Aid Measures
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone 131126)
or a doctor.
Swallowed: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting.
Skin: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated
clothing and flush skin and hair with running water.
Eyes: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye
continuously with running water. Continue flushing
until advised to stop by the Poisons Information
Center or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Inhaled: Remove from exposure.
First Aid facilities:
Recommended: Eye wash. Hand wash basin.
Advice to Doctor:
Product contains a low proportion of nickel powder. May cause
sensitisation by skin contact. Contact Poisons Information Centre.
Aggravated medical conditions:
Pre-existing sensitisation to nickel.
Section 5: Fire fighting Measures
HAZCHEM Code: None assigned.
Evacuate: No.
Extinguishant: Foam or dry agent.
Risk of violent reaction or explosion: No.
Products of combustion: Noxious fumes including aldehydes,
ketones, oxides of carbon, oxides of
nitrogen, oxides of sulphur.
Extremely high temperatures may
generate nickel oxide fume.
Protective Equipment: Breathing apparatus and protective
gloves for fire only.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Emergency Procedures:
Contain.
Shut off all sources of ignition.
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
EAL Nickel Anti-Seize Page 3 of 8
For large spills:
Contain spillages with sand or earth. Transfer both paste and
solids to suitable container(s). Treat residues as for small
spills.
For small spills:
Absorb on inert absorbent and transfer to suitable closed
container. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water and
detergent.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Keep away from naked flames and other sources of ignition.
Conditions for safe storage:
Store in a cool, well ventilated place, out of reach of children.
Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed and out
of direct sunlight. Keep away from naked flames and other sources
of ignition. Keep away from oxidising agents. Protect from
physical damage. Clean up all spills and splashes promptly; avoid
secondary accidents.
Incompatibles:
Strong oxidising agents.
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
National Exposure Standards:
ES-TWA: Nickel, metal 1 mg/m³
Mica, as inspirable dust 2.5 mg/m³
ES-STEL: None assigned by NOHSC, but see:
Nickel, metal 0.05 mg/m³ [Russia]
0.005 mg/m³ [Hungary]
ES-PEAK: None assigned.
Notations: Nickel, metal [Sens]
See also:
Nickel, metal [Skin] [Finland]
[Carcinogen] [Finland,
France, Germany, Hungary,
Japan, the Netherlands,
Switzerland]
[Skin] indicates that this material may be absorbed via unbroken
skin, and any such contact may invalidate the TLV.
[Sens] indicates that this material is a known sensitiser and may
cause a specific immune response in some individuals.

Biological Limit Values: No data found.
Engineering Controls:
Ensure adequate ventilation (same as outdoors) when using.
If handling industrial quantities, or if vapour/aerosol risk
exists, consider local mechanical exhaust/extraction to keep
airborne contamination as low as possible and at least below the
TLV.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapours or
aerosols. Personal protection to be selected from those
recommended below, as appropriate to mode of use, quantity
handled and degree of hazard:-
Normal Use:
Eye/face protection
Gloves, rubber or plastic.
Industrial Quantities:
Face shield or safety glasses
Gloves, rubber or plastic
Plastic apron, sleeves and boots
Impervious overalls.

ketones, oxides of nitrogen, oxides of
sulphur, oxides of carbon.
Very high temperatures may generate nickel
oxide fume.

cause fire.
Section 11: Toxicological Information
Health Effects:
No data available for the mixture. Information presented
relates to individual ingredients.
Acute: Swallowed: Likely to cause sore throat, gastric
irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
May be harmful if swallowed.
Skin: Prolonged contact may dry and degrease the
skin, causing irritation and possible
dermatitis. May cause mild abrasion, or fine
powders may become lodged under the skin.
May cause dermatitis in sensitised
individuals.
Eyes: May be irritating to eyes. Risk of
mechanical scratching.
Inhaled: An unlikely route at normal temperatures.
At elevated temperatures, vapours or
aerosols may cause irritation, headache,
dizziness or nausea.
Inhalation exposure to combustion products
(including nickel oxide fume) may cause
metal fume fever, characterised by flu-like
symptoms and metallic taste in the mouth,
fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain,
muscle pain, and increased white blood cell
count. Onset of symptoms may be delayed for
several hours.
Chronic: Skin contact with the metallic nickel powder may result in
sensitisation and nickel contact dermatitis ("nickel
itch").
Nickel is classified by NOHSC as carcinogenic, group 3.
Nickel metal is classified by IARC as a carcinogen,
group 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (1)
Nickel metal is classified as carcinogenic and neoplastic
by RTECS criteria. (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)
Nickel is classified by NTP as reasonably anticipated to
be carcinogenic to humans. (7)
