EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: dark orange solid.
Danger! Pyrophoric. Spontaneously flammable in
air. May be pyrophoric and become spontaneously flammable in air. May
cause allergic respiratory and skin reaction. May be harmful if
swallowed. Air sensitive.
Target Organs: Lungs, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
May cause eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause skin sensitization, an allergic
reaction, which becomes evident upon re-exposure to this material.
Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of fumes may
cause metal fume fever, which is characterized by flu-like symptoms
with metallic taste, fever, chills, cough, weakness, chest pain,
muscle pain and increased white blood cell count. In rare instances,
exposure may cause sensitization, resulting in inflammation of the
mucous membranes and in eczematous eruptions.
Chronic:
May cause kidney injury. Cobalt compounds may cause cancer based
upon animal studies.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally
lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing
before reuse.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Antidote:
There exists several chelation agents. The determination of there
use should be made only by qualified medical personnel.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. As in any fire,
wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. May
burn with invisible flame. Water reactive. Material will react with
water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Use water spray
to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Spontaneously ignitable in
air. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can spread along the
ground and collect in low or confined areas. May burn rapidly with
flare burning effect. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished.
Containers may explode if exposed to fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire. Do NOT get water inside
containers. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire
is out. For small fires, use dry chemical, soda ash, lime or sand.
For large fires, use dry sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime or
withdraw from area and let fire burn.
Flash Point: Not available.
Autoignition Temperature: Not available.

NFPA Rating:
(estimated) Health: 2; Flammability: 2; Instability: 2; Special Hazard: -W-
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective
Equipment section. Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal. Isolate area and
deny entry. Place under an inert atmosphere. Do not use combustible
materials such as paper towels to clean up spill.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion
proof equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Handle
under an inert atmosphere. Store protected from air.
Storage:
Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a cool, dry place.
Keep away from water. Refrigerator/flammables. Keep containers
tightly closed. Do not expose to air. Store under an inert
atmosphere.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Use adequate ventilation
to keep airborne concentrations low.

protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European
Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize
contact with skin.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European
Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant respirator use. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or
European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or
European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if
exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or
other symptoms are experienced.
