Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media

In case of fire: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, chemical foam, or water spray to extinguish.

Use water spray to cool containers.

Specific Hazards

Produces irritating and toxic fumes in fires or in contact with hot surfaces. May produce very toxic nickel carbonyl gas in the presence of carbon monoxide in a reducing atmosphere.

The vapors are heavier than air and may accumulate in low- lying areas. Vapors may travel long distances and ignite at an ignition source, which can cause a flashback or an explosion.

Prevent fire-fighting wash from entering waterway or sewer system.

Combustion Products

Produces carbon oxides (CO,CO2), nickel oxides fumes, and nitrogen oxides (NOx).

Fire-Fighter

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full fire-fighting turn-out gear.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Protection	See personal protection recommendations in Section 8.
Precautions for Response	Do not breathe the mist, spray, and vapors. Remove or keep away all sources of extreme heat or open flames.
Environmental Precautions	Avoid releasing to the environment. Prevent spill from entering drains and waterways.
Containment Methods	Contain with inert absorbent (such as soil, sand, vermiculite).
Cleaning Methods	Collect liquid in a sealable, solvent-resistant container. Sprinkle inert absorbent compound onto spill, then sweep into the container. Wash spill area with soap and water to remove the last traces of residue.
Disposal Methods	Dispose of spill waste according to Section 13

Limits from RTECS database2 and data from suppliers’ SDS were also consulted. Short term exposure limits (STEL) are for 15 min and long term permissible exposure limits (PEL) for 8 h.

Engineering Controls

Ventilation

Keep airborne concentrations below the occupational exposure limits (OEL).

Personal Protective Equipment

Eye protection

Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles.

RECOMMENDATION: Ensure that glasses have side shields for lateral protection.

Skin Protection

For likely contacts, use of protective butyl rubber or other chemically resistant gloves.

Respiratory Protection

For over-exposures up to 10 x OEL of mist, vapors, and spray, wear respirator such as a half-mask respirator with organic vapor cartridges.

Above 10 x OEL, use a positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator or a self-contained breathing apparatus.

RECOMMENDATION: Consult your local safety supply store to ensure that your respirator has a NIOSH (U.S.) approved filter cartridges appropriate for the ingredients listed in Section 3.

The respirator should be fitted to the employee by a professional. Ensure vapor cartridges are stored in sealed plastic bags when not being used.

General Hygiene Considerations

Wash hands thoroughly with water and soap after handling.

Nickel [7440-02-0] IARC Group 2B: Possibly carcinogenic to humans ACGIH A5: Not suspected as a human carcinogen CA Prop 65: Listed as a carcinogen NTP: Reasonably anticipated to be human carcinogen
Mutagenicity (risk of heritable genetic effects)	Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.
Reproductive Toxicity (risk to sex functions)	Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met.
Teratogenicity (risk of fetus malformation)	Not classifiable due to lack of data
STOT-single exposure	Inhalation of acetone, heptan-2-one, may affect the central nervous system.
STOT-repeated exposure	Nickel particles can damage the respiratory tract leading to inflammation, lung fibrosis, and accumulation of nickel particles in a rat study.
Aspiration hazard	Based on available data, the classification criteria are not met. There is less than 10% category 1 components.

Ecological Information

Ecological classifications are based on the IMDG/GHS criteria in conjunction with ecotoxicological data from our suppliers, the European Chemical Agency database (http://echa.europa.eu), and other reliable sources.
sufficiently soluble to give rise to an ecological hazard. The classification that follows takes into account to chronic aqueous toxicity of category 3 assignment of the EU. Acetone, heptan-2-one, and 1-methoxy-2-propanol acetate are not classifiable as environmental toxicant (with minimal LC50 of >100 mg/L).

Acetone has a minimal LC50 96 h of 5 540 mg/L for Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout) and an EC50 48 h of 13 500 mg/L for Daphnia magna (water flea).
Heptan-2-one has a minimal LC50 96 h of 126 mg/L for Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow).
1-methoxy-2-propanol acetate has a minimal LC50 96 h of ≥100 mg/L Salmo gairdneri and an EC50 48 h of >500 mg/L for Daphnia magna (water flea).

There is insufficient data to classify dimethyl carbonate for aqueous toxicity.
