EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Safety Data Sheet Page 5 of 9 Wieland NA RA SDS No.: 00017.0001 Nickel Alloy Revision Date: 6/1/15 Review Date: 2/21/20 *This substance is regulated by OSHA as a Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR). The exposure limits listed for both OSHA and ACGIH refer to total dust; the OSHA PEL for the respirable fraction is 5 mg/m3. ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended if significant dusting occurs or fumes are generated. Otherwise, use general exhaust ventilation. EYE / FACE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses. SKIN PROTECTION: Wear impervious (cut-resistant) gloves and other protective clothing (aprons, coveralls) as appropriate to prevent skin contact when using this product.If generating a dust, wash thoroughly after handling, especially before eating, drinking, or smoking. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection not normally needed. If dusting occurs or fumes are generated above the PEL/TLV, use a NIOSH-approved half-face or full-face respirator equipped with High Efficiency Particulate (HEPA) filter cartridges. GENERAL HYGIENE CONSIDERATIONS: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using this product in dust form.

CARCINOGENICITY: In laboratory animal studies, chronic exposure to high concentrations of nickel has caused an increase in lung and nasal tumors. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified nickel as possibly carcinogenic to humans, group 2B. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) classifies nickel as a known human carcinogen. MUTAGENICITY: This product is not known or reported to be mutagenic. Nickel has been shown to be mutagenic in in vitro studies. REPRODUCTIVE, TERATOGENICITY, OR DEVELOPMENTAL EFFECTS: This product is not known or reported to cause reproductive or developmental effects. Exposure of male rats to high concentrations of nickel caused testicular degeneration. However, symptoms of systemic toxicity, including severe weight loss, were also observed at the same concentrations indicating that the testicular effects were secondary to the frank toxicity. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Safety Data Sheet Page 7 of 9 Wieland NA RA SDS No.: 00017.0001 Nickel Alloy Revision Date: 6/1/15 Review Date: 2/21/20 NEUROLOGICAL EFFECTS: This product is not known or reported to cause neurological effects. Chronic exposure to very high concentrations of manganese dust has caused nervous system effects including muscle weakness, tremors, and behavioral changes in humans. INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER CHEMICALS WHICH ENHANCE TOXICITY: None known or reported. ECOTOXICITY: No data is available on this product. Individual constituents are as follows: Copper: The toxicity of copper to aquatic organisms varies significantly not only with the species, but also with the physical and chemical characteristics of the water, such as its temperature, hardness, turbidity and carbon dioxide content. Copper concentrations varying from 0.1 to 1.0 mg/l have been found by various investigators to be not toxic for most fish. However, concentrations of 0.015 to 3.0 mg/l have been reported as toxic, particularly in soft water to many kinds of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, insects, and plankton.
