4. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION – X Xn : Harmful

Main Hazards :
1. Eye Contact : R 36 / 38 Cause severe burns with damage to eyes and
possible blindness.
2. Ingestion : R 34 / 35 Can cause irritation to mouth, throat,
esophagus and stomach.
3. Inhalation : R 20 / 21 /22 Inhalation of dust may damage upper
respiratory tract and lung tissue which may cause
chemical pneumonia
4. Skin Contact : Sensitivity to nickel may cause nickel-itch.
5. Other Health Effects : Chronic exposure may create general discomfort,
irritation and possible sensitization and allergic reaction.

5. FIRST AID MEASURES

1. Eye Contact : Flush eyes with plenty of water. Hold lids apart to ensure
flushing of entire surface to prevent or relieve irritation.
If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
2. Ingestion : Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person,
obtain immediate medical attention. If vomiting occurs
spontaneously, keep airway clear. If swallowed give
large amounts of water and induce vomiting. Seek
immediate medical attention.
3. Inhalation : Remove person from contaminated area. If breathing has
stopped, resuscitate and administer oxygen if available.
Seek immediate medical attention
4. Skin Contact : Immediately wash contaminated skin with plenty of
water. Remove contaminated clothing and footwear.
Wash clothing before reuse. Discard footwear if it can
not be decontaminated. If irritation continues, seek
medical attention.

6. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

1. Flash Point : Not applicable

2. Auto Ignition : Product is not self igniting
3. Flammable Range : Not flammable in nature, but if involved in a fire, it will
generate toxic oxides of carbon. In the presence of water,
material may react with amphoteric metals (such as
aluminium, zinc or tin) generating hydrogen gas which
will burn or explode if ignited
4. Extinguishing Media : Water fog or spray / carbon dioxide / foam
5. Special Fire-Fighting : Wear NIOSH approved full protective clothing & self-
contained breathing apparatus. Keep containers cool to
prevent rupture and release of material.

7. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

1. Step to taken if material us : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear
released or spilled protective equipment. Do not inhale dust. Sweep or
shovel up into plastic-lined steel containers and cover.
2. Pollution Protection : Not a severe pollutant. Dilute with plenty of water
3. Protection for spilled of : Flush the spill area with plenty of water and collect the
chemical washings in a specified container. Dispose of in
accordance with local, state and national regulations.
 8. HANDLING AND STORAGE

1. Storage : Store in cool & dry place (preferably within 25-35°C

under closed condition to avoid any contaminations).
