Special Hazards Arising from the Chemical Severe fire hazard. Severe explosion hazard. Vapor/air mixtures are explosive. The vapor is heavier than air. Vapors or gases may ignite at distant ignition sources and flash back. Hazardous Combustion Products Oxides of carbon, oxides of nickel Fire Fighting Measures Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well after the fire is out. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers with water from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after fire is out. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Flood with fine water spray. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Dike for later disposal. Page 3 of 10 Safety Data Sheet Material Name: Nickel Carbonyl Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. For tank, rail car or tank truck, evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile). Do not attempt to extinguish fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Apply water from a protected location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters Wear full protective fire fighting gear including self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for protection against possible exposure. ***Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES*** Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures Wear personal protective clothing and equipment, see Section 8. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up Avoid heat, flames, sparks and other sources of ignition. Remove sources of ignition. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Reduce vapors with water spray. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Vapor-suppressing foam may be used to control vapors. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas. Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
