IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE OR PREPARATION

DALIDEPASS 28 or DEPASSIVATOR Ni
(code 10018 or DPR 5080)
USE OF THE SUBSTANCE / PREPARATION
This solution is used at ambient temperature with the brush electrolysis process essentially on stainless steel or
chromium for plating a nickel underlayer and reinforcing the adhesion of a thicker coating. The brush process can be
applied locally just where it is necessary without immersion of the part. Thus, only small quantities of solutions are stored
or used.

Beginning of decomposition of several components from 150C that notably gives small quantities of polyacids and
unsaturated anhydrides, carbon oxides and at higher temperatures sulphur oxides.
Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways.
PROTECTION OF THE FIRE-FIGHTERS
Because of the substances that are produced during thermal decomposition, use approved self-contained breathing
equipment and protective clothing in case of intervention.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
VI - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid contact with the skin, the clothes and eyes: wear at least gloves, glasses and in case of vapours or sprays a FFP3
mask.
Dispose of all contaminated clothing or shoes and wash thoroughly with water.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow the product to be thrown away. Recover as much as possible for processing within the firm or by an
approved centre.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP
With water to remove all non-recoverable product. Collect the recoverable rinsing water for processing within the firm or

________________________________________________________________________________________________
VII - HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING
Use as supplied. Close containers (in PE) tightly after use with the original cap. Do not re-use containers with another
product.
STORAGE
Store on a spill-retaining vat, away from alkaline products. Keep in original containers only, in a room between 5 and

VIII - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

EXPOSURE CONTROLS
TECHNICAL MEASURES
No drinking, eating or smoking on the workplace.
It is important to protect its respiratory system and to avoid contact with skin.
During brush electrolysis, as this product is low concentrated and used at ambient temperature during a short time, it
does not seem very useful to perform checks of atmosphere, except in case of large parts or of continuous use.
However, it is recommended to measure it once in the harder conditions of work and periodically after if necessary.
Maintain the premises and the work stations in perfect state of cleanliness.

- Respiratory protection: during brush plating, provide an effective inhaling of the vapours / sprays where they are
created and extraction out of the premises, and if insufficient, wear a filtering mask FFP3 according to EN 149:2001
standard.
- Hand protection: wear imperatively gloves (in latex or nitrile for example).

XI - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data are available regarding the preparation. The evaluation of health hazards has been realised thanks to
directives 67/548/EC, 1999/45/EC and bibliographical data.
As the product contains nickel in a soluble state, nickel is eliminated in a few hours if it has been absorbed during brush
plating.
Nickel mostly accumulates in lungs and kidneys.

4/5

According to numerous studies on nickel derivatives, that are achieved or still in progress, there are no sure results
regarding human cancer in the industries plating nickel, manufacturing stainless steel or high nickel content alloys and
those doing machining or welding of nickel.
SKIN
Nickel salts are allergens which may cause the appearance of recurring eczemas on some sensitive people. Irritating to
skin in case of contact.
EYE MUCOSA
Irritating in case of contact.
RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
May cause sensitisation by inhalation (asthma, asthmatic dyspnoea). The problems can appear immediately or several
hours after exposure and quickly disappear in the absence of exposure.
IN CASE OF INGESTION
Pains, gastro-intestinal problems, nauseas, possible vomiting, headaches.
REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS
Soluble nickel can go across the placenta barrier.
INDUSTRIAL DISEASES: tables 37, 37a (in FRANCE).
________________________________________________________________________________________________
XII - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There are no ecological data on the preparation.
ECOTOXICITY
Bibliographic data concerning nickel sulphate:
FISHES - LC50 (96 h) = 5 mg/L, DAPHNIAS - EC50 (48 h) = 1 mg/L, ALGAE - LC50 (72 h) = 0.75 mg/L.
Bibliographic data concerning sulphuric acid (concentrated at 94-98 %):
FISH-LC50 (24 h) = 82 mg/L, DAPHNIAS-EC50 (24 h) = 29 mg/L.
A pH lower than 5 is generally fatal.
According to directive 1999/45/EC, the concentration in nickel salts is sufficient to classify this preparation with the N
symbol dangerous for the environment and the R51-53 phrase.
MOBILITY - PERSISTENCE AND DEGRADABILITY - BIOACCUMULATIVE POTENTIAL OTHER ADVERSE
EFFECTS
No information.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
XIII - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
This product and water used for rinsing must not be thrown away notably because of their acidity and their nickel content.
They must be processed within the firm or destroyed by an approved organization.
Contaminated packaging if not re-used with the same product is also special waste to be sent to an approved
organization for recycling or disposal.
Classification according to the commission directive 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 and its modifications (in particular
2001/118/EC, OJ L47). Use the mandatory documents to follow-up the waste products.
