Shovel dry material into suitable container. Flush spill area with water, if appropriate. Keep out of water

supplies and sewers. Releases should be reported, if required, to appropriate agencies.

________________________________________________________________________________________

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

STORAGE: Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. Keep container properly

labeled and tightly closed. Keep dry. Keep separated from incompatible substances.

HANDLING: Use methods to minimize dust. Wash if needed.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION

EXPOSURE LIMITS:

NUISANCE PARTICULATES (NUISANCE DUST):

5 mg/m3 OSHA TWA (respirable dust fraction)

15 mg/m3 OSHA TWA (total dust)

10 mg/m3 ACGIH TWA (inhalable particulate)

3 mg/m3 ACGIH TWA (respirable particulate)

VENTILATION: Provide local exhaust ventilation where vapor may be generated. Ensure compliance with

applicable exposure limits.

EYE PROTECTION: Wear safety glasses with side shields. An emergency eye wash fountain may be

provided.

CLOTHING: Wear appropriate clothing to minimize skin contact.

GLOVES: Wear appropriate gloves.

PROTECTIVE MATERIAL TYPES: latex, leather, nitrile, neoprene, rubber, Tyvek(R)

RESPIRATOR: A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 filters may be permissible under certain

circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits, or when symptoms have

been observed that are indicative of overexposure.

A half face piece air-purifying respirator may be used in concentrations up to 10X the acceptable exposure level

and a full face piece air-purifying respirator may be used in concentrations up to 50X the acceptable exposure

Supplied air should be used when the level is expected to be above 50X the acceptable level, or when there is a

potential for uncontrolled release.

A respiratory protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must be followed whenever workplace

conditions warrant use of a respirator.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

TOXICITY DATA: >10 gm/kg oral-rat LD50; >10 gm/kg skin-rabbit LD50 (estimated). Inhalation may cause

irritation to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. May cause sneezing and coughing. Contact with

eyes or skin causes irritation. When heated to decomposition, emits irritating zinc oxide fumes.

SECTION 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ECOTOXICITY DATA:

FISH TOXICITY: This material is believed to be non-toxic to aquatic organisms.

FATE AND TRANSPORT:

BIODEGRADATION: No data available.

PERSISTENCE: Zinc borate can decompose, under certain environmental conditions to form sparingly water

soluble zinc hydroxide and water soluble boric acid.

BIOCONCENTRATION: This material is not believed to bioconcentrate.

OTHER ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION: Both Boron (B) and Zinc (Zn) occur naturally in seawater at

average concentrations of 5 mg/L B and 8 mcg/L Zn. Boron is an essential micronutrient for healthy growth of

plants; however it can be harmful to boron sensitive plants in high quantities. Care should be taken to minimize

the amount released to the environment. Zinc borate is sparingly soluble in water and may be leachable through

normal soil.
