Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

First-aid measures

Nitinol alloys in wire don't constitute a physical hazard or a health hazard. Subsequent operations such as abrading, melting, welding, cutting or processing in any other fashion may produce potentially hazardous dust or fume which can be inhaled, swallowed, or come into contact with skin or eyes.
Eye conctact : Wash with large amounts of water or normal saline. Keep eyelids open with the finger. Get medical advice in case of adverse symptoms.
Skin contact : Wash affected area with soap or mild detergent and large amount of water. Get medical advice in case of adverse symptoms.
Ingestion : If swallowed wash mouth with water provided person is conscious. Seek medical help if large quantities of material have been
ingested.

Fire-fighting measures

Based on chemical structure flammable properties are not to be expected.
During subsequent processing (cutting, welding, grinding, etc.) the generation of dust in high concentration may present fire and explosion hazards.

Accidental release measures

In case material is released or spilled, fine material should be swept or vacuumed. Avoid using compressed air to maneuver spills or leaks of dusty material to avoid eye contamination.

Handling and storage

Nitinol alloys in wire don't constitute a physical hazard or a health hazard.
Use good housekeeping practices to prevent accumulation of dust and to keep airborne dust at a minimum.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Nitinol alloys in the form shipped require no special protection for handling.

Stability and reactivity

The substance is stable at the normal condition of temperature and pressure. Avoid generation of airborne dust which presents moderate fire and explosion hazard.
Incompatibility (materials to avoid): Acids, bases, and oxidizer. Hydrogen and poisonous fumes may develop. Molten metal will react violently with water.

Disposal considerations

Refers to Community/National/Local requirements concerning the waste disposal.
