HAZARD
IDENTIFICATION
==============================================================================
Route Of Entry Inds - Inhalation: YES Skin: YES Ingestion: YES
Carcinogenicity Inds - NTP: NO IARC: NO OSHA: NO
Health Hazards Acute And Chronic: INHALATION:WHEN HEATED, THE FUMES ARE HIGHLY
TOXIC AND MAY CAUSE FUME FEVER. INGESTION:MAY CAUSE GI DISTURBANCES. SKIN:NOT
EXPECTED TO BE A HLTH HAZ. EYES:SMALL PARTICLES MAY CAUSE MECH IRRIT OR INJURY
TO THE SURFACE OF THE EYE. NOTICEABLE DISCOMFORT, REDDENING & TEARING CAN
OCCUR. CHRONIC:NO ADVERSE EFTS EXPECTED.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity: NOT RELEVANT
Signs and Symptoms of Overexposure: SEE HEALTH HAZARDS.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Overexposure: NO ADVERSE EFFECTS EXPECTED.
==============================================================================
FIRST AID
==============================================================================
INHALATION:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. SUPPORT BREATHING (GIVE O*2/ARTF RESP) (FP N).
SKIN:FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL MD (FP N). INGESTION:IF SWALLOWED,
INDUCE VOMITING IMMEDIATELY BY GIVING TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND STICKING FINGER
DOW N THROAT. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON. EYES:WASH
WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR @ LST 15 MINUTES. IF IRRIT DEVELOPS, GET MED ATTN.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
==============================================================================
Flash Point Text: N/K
Auto Ignition Temperature Text:
Lower Limits: N/K Upper Limits: N/K
Extinguishing Media: SMOTHER WITH A SUITABLE DRY POWDER (SODIUM CHLORIDE,
MAGNESIUM OXIDE).
Fire Fighting Procedures: WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT (FP N).
Unusal Fire/Explosion Hazard: ZINC CAN MELT UNDER EVEN MOD FIRE CNDTNS &
WILL BURN IN AIR. BULK DUST IN DAMP STATE MAY HEAT SPONTANEOUSLY & IGNITE
ON EXPOS TO AIR. FINE DUST (SUPP DATA)
==============================================================================
RELEASE MEASURES
==============================================================================
Spill Release Procedures: SWEEP, SCOOP OR PICK UP SPILLED MATERIAL. TRANSFER TO
A SUITABLE CLOSED CONTAINER, PREFERABLY METAL, FOR INTERMEDIATE STORAGE BEFORE
RECLAMATION OR DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent: NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods: DISPOSE IN A RCRA APPROVED FACILITY. ENSURE COMPLIANCE
WITH LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
==============================================================================
HANDLING AND STORAGE
==============================================================================
KEEP IN TIGHTLY CLSD CNTNR. PROT FORM PHYSICAL DMG. STORE IN COOL, DRY, VENT
AREA AWAY FROM SOURCES OF HEAT, MOISTURE AND INCOMPATIBILITIES.
==============================================================================
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
==============================================================================
Respiratory Protection: FOR CONDITIONS OF USE WHERE EXPOSURE TO THE DUST IS
APPARENT, A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED DUST/MIST RESPIRATOR MAY BE WORN. FOR
EMERGENCIES, A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS MAY BE
NECESSARY.
Ventilation: LOC EXHST SYS WHICH CAPTURES CONTAMINANT @ ITS SOURCE IS REC TO
PVNT DISPERSION OF CONTAMINANT INTO WORKROOM AIR.
Protective Gloves: IMPERVIOUS GLOVES (FP N).
Eye Protection: ANSI APPROVED CHEM WORKERS GOGGS (FP N).
Other Equipment: ANSI APPROVED EMERGENCY EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER (FP N).
Work Hygenic Practices: ANSI APPROVED EMERGENCY EYE WASH AND DELUGE SHOWER (FP
N).
Supplemental Safety & Health: EXPLO HAZS:DISPERSED IN AIR IN SUFFICIENT
CONCENTRATIONS, AND IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE IS A POTENTIAL DUST
EXPLOSION HAZARD. MATLS TO AVOID:CONDITIONS WHERE THE ZINC IS QUITE HOT OR
MOLTEN.
