3. Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
DANGER! STRONG OXIDIZER. CONTACT WITH OTHER MATERIAL MAY CAUSE FIRE. HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR INHALED. CAUSES IRRITATION TO SKIN, EYES AND RESPIRATORY TRACT.
SAF-T-DATA(tm)^ Ratings (Provided here for your convenience)
Health Rating: 2 - Moderate Flammability Rating: 0 - None Reactivity Rating: 3 - Severe (Oxidizer) Contact Rating: 2 - Moderate Lab Protective Equip: GOGGLES & SHIELD; LAB COAT & APRON; VENT HOOD; PROPER GLOVES Storage Color Code: Yellow (Reactive)
**Potential Health Effects
Inhalation:** Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. Methemoglobinemia may occur. Ingestion: Causes irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. If appreciable amounts are ingested, abdominal pain, cramps and nausea may result together with faintness and bluish lips and skin (methemoglobinemia). Skin Contact: Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain. Eye Contact: Irritant. Causes redness, tears and pain, possibly blurred vision. Chronic Exposure: Zinc salts are eliminated fairly promptly, making chronic effects less than acute. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.
4. First Aid Measures
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately. Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention immediately.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
Fire: Not combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Increases flammability of any combustible substance in contact with it. Explosion: May act as initiation source for dust or vapor explosions. Fire Extinguishing Media: Water or water spray in early stages of fire. Foam or dry chemical may also be used. Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Clean up spills in a manner that does not disperse dust into the air. Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Reduce airborne dust and prevent scattering by moistening with water. Pick up spill for recovery or disposal and place in a closed container. US Regulations (CERCLA) require reporting spills and releases to soil, water and air in excess of reportable quantities. The toll free number for the US Coast Guard National Response Center is (800) 424-8802.
10. Stability and Reactivity
Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of nitrogen and toxic metal fumes may form when heated to decomposition. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Incompatibilities: Metal powders, cyanides, sodium hypophosphite, stannous chloride, phosphorus, thiocyanates, carbon, metallic sulfides, sulfur, organic materials. Substance is capable of reacting rapidly with reducing agents and combustible materials at elevated temperatures. Conditions to Avoid: Heat, flames, ignition sources and incompatibles.
