SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures
5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear respiratory protection. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel
to safe areas. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Do not let product enter drains.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
SMALL SPILLS: Contain and absorb with absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. Wash site
of spillage thoroughly with water. LARGE SPILLS: Dike far ahead of spill to prevent further movement. Recover by
pumping or by using a suitable absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. Dispose in suitable
waste container.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Further processing of solid materials may
result in the formation of combustible dusts. The potential for combustible dust formation should be taken into
Version: 1.0, Date of issue: 2024-03-12, p. 3 of 7
Safety Data Sheet
WOODS NICKEL STRIKE
consideration before additional processing occurs. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is
formed. For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

1. Nickel (II) chloride (CAS: 7718-54-9)
TWA: 1MG/M3 (OSHA)
PEL-C: 0.05MG/M3
8.2 Appropriate engineering controls
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment (PPE)
Pictograms
Eye/face protection
Face shield and safety glasses. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate
government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching
glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in
accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Body protection
Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the
specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount
of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100
(US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole
means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved
under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
