===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ZINC/ZINC OXIDE:INHAL OF HIGH LEVELS
MAY RESULT IN TIGHTNESS OF CHEST, METALLIC TASTE, COUGH, DIZZINESS,
FEVER, CHILLS, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND DRY THROAT. OVEREXPOSURE MAY
PRODUCE SYMPTOMS KNOWN AS META L FUME FEVER OR "ZINC SHAKES", AN
ACUTE, SELF-LIMITING CNDTN W/OUT RECOGNIZED COMPLICATIONS.
SYMPS(EFTS OF OVEREXPOSURE)
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NOT RELEVANT
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ:OF METAL FUME FEVER INCLUDE:CHILLS,
FEVER, MUSCULAR PAIN, NAUSEA & VOMITING. LEAD:EXPOSURE TO HIGH
CONCENTRATIONS OF LEAD MAY CAUSE HEADACHE, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
ABDOMINAL SPASMA, FATIGUE, SLEE P DISTURBANCES, WEIGHT LOSS,
ANEMIA, & PAIN IN LEGS, ARMS & JOINTS. CHRONIC:ZINC:MAY CAUSE RESP
TRACT IRRIT (SUPDAT)
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INHALATION OF DUST MAY BE AN
IRRITANT TO PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY CONDITIONS.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:CALL MD IN ALL CASES. INHAL:SYMPTOMATIC TREATMENT, SUCH AS
BED REST AND POSSIBLY ASPRIN IS RECOMMENDED TO PROVIDE RELIEF FROM
FEVER & CHILLS. EYE:FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER FOR AT
LEAST 15 MI NUTES. SKIN:FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL
MD . INGEST:CALL MD IMMEDIATELY .
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:SMOTHER & COOL W/SUITABLE DRY EXTINGUISHING AGENT
(CLASS D FIRES) SUCH AS DRY POWDER, ZINC OXIDE OR DRY SAND. NO
WATER.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA & FULL PROT
EQUIPMENT . DO NOT SPREAD BURNING MATL. SMOTHER & ALLOW FIRE TO GO
OUT. DRY ZINC DUST WILL NOT IGNITE (SUPDAT)
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:BULK DUST IN CONTACT WITH WATER OR DAMP
AIR EVOLVES HYDROGEN. THE HEAT PRODUCED DURING THIS RXN COULD
IGNITE HYDROGEN. AN EXPLO CNDTN MAY EXIST IF THIS (SUPDAT)
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:PROHIBIT SMOKING, AVIOD ALL IGNITION SOURCES,
AND AVOID DUSTING. METAL SHOULD BE CONTAINED FOR RECYCLING.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.

Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE IN A COOL, DRY, WELL VENTILATED
SPACE, SEPARATE FROM ACIDS AND ALKALIS. PROTECT FROM PHYSICAL
DAMAGE.
Other Precautions:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR FOR DUSTING
CONDITIONS OR IN THE PRESENCE OF ZINC VAPOR.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST OR OTHER VENTILATION THAT WILL REDUCE DUST
CONCENTRATIONS TO LESS THAN PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:CHEMICAL WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:BARRIER CREAMS.
Work Hygienic Practices:PRACTICE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE WHEN WORKING IN
AREAS WHERE THIS MATERIAL IS USED.
