Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

First-aid measures

Emergency measure - Inhalation: Remove exposed individual from source of exposure. If
breathing is difficult, oxygen may be administered by
certified persons only. Artificial respiration may be
performed only if exposed individual is not breathing. if
breathing is difficult seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with flowing water for at least 15
minutes whilst holding eyelids away from eyes. Seek medical
attention.
Emergency measure - Skin: Wash exposed areas thoroughly with flowing water, while
removing contaminated clothing and shoes. If irritation
persists, seek medical attention.
Emergency measure - Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing agent: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide

Product arising from burning: Oxides of Carbon and Sulphur plus Nickel compounds

Product determined by test: N

Protective equipment: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
apparatus must be worn.


Fight the fire from a safe distance or protected location.

Accidental release measures

Emergency measures in case of spillage: Evacuate personnel from immediate vicinity.


Wear appropriate personal protective equipment conforming to
the relevant national or international standards, as
mentioned in section 2.3.10.


Avoid dust formation. Absorb spillages of solutions with a
suitable inert material (eg. sand or soil).
Carefullytransfer the spillage to waste containers, or use a
sealed

industrial vacuum machine. Containers filled with waste
material must be labelled in the same way as the original
substance containers.


Clean the spillage area with water. Do not allow to enter
into waterways.


Dispose of waste material in accordance with local
regulations by incineration.

Handling and storage

Handling: The substance should be stored, handled and used under
conditions of good industrial hygiene and in conformity with
any local regulations in order to avoid exposure.


Engineering controls are necessary to reduce exposure to the
substance.


When exposure cannot be prevented or adequately controlled
appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn.

Such protective equipment should conform to the appropriate
international or national standards as follows;

Chemical protective gloves

Chemical protective clothing

Eye protection

Furthermore, when respiratory protective equipment has to be
used, it must be capable of adequately controlling exposure,
be suitable for the purpose, and conform to the appropriate
international or national standards.

These measures should be regarded as a minimum.

Storage: Store in a dark cool dry location. Handle in a ventilated
area.


Keep containers tightly closed when not in use.

Packaging of the substance and or preparation: High density PE, typically 25, 200 and 1000 litre drums.

Stability and reactivity

Danger other than fire: Avoid contact with alkaline materials, cyanides, sulfides
and water reactive materials.

Chemical reaction with water: None reported.

Dust explosion: There is a potential dust explosion hazard from this powder.
However, the substance is only supplied as an aqueous
preparation, so the dust explosion hazard is negligible.

Dust explosion determined by test: N

Disposal considerations

Industry - Possibility of recovery/recycling: There will be no direct discharge to the environment.
Recovery from minor spillages or accidental discharge is not
economically or technically feasible, and such waste
material will be disposed of by incineration or landfill. In
principle, it may be possible to recover larger spillages
of uncontaminated material for subsequent use.

Industry - Possibility of neutralisation: The notification tests have shown that the substance is
harmful by acute oral exposure and corrosive. It is
classified as toxic by prolonged exposure by inhalation, a
skin sensitiser, a potential mutagen, a potential carcinogen
and very toxic to aquatic organisms by read-across to
literature data.



No chemical treatment is practicable to neutralise these
hazardous properties.


The substance is only marketed in the EU as an aqueous
preparation, therefore the potential dust hazard will be
minimal.

Industry - Possibility of destruction: controlled discharge: Contaminated containers and/or spillages of solutions mixed
with inert material (eg. sand or soil) may be disposed of
by landfill at an authorised tip in accordance with local
regulations. Incineration is the preferred disposal method
for the neat substance and the marketed preparation.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - incineration: The substance can be disposed of by incineration by burning
under controlled conditions at a licensed waste treatment
processor in accordance with local regulations. Stack gases
should be scrubbed, because noxious fumes (eg. carbon and
sulphur oxides and nickel containing compounds) could be
formed.

Industry - Possibility of destruction - water purification: The substance should not be discharged directly to the
sewage system or the aqueous environment.
