Under normal conditions of evaporation, only the water phase is expected to evaporate leaving the soluble salts behind. Any TWA is thus believed to be
meaningful only for the abnormal case in which the solution as a whole is introduced into the air as an aerosol.
Because of manufacturing variances and possible product improvements, the compositions and physical properties listed here should be considered
representative. The values listed should not be construed as specifications.

Insensitive.
Extinguishing Media:
As appropriate for surrounding fire.
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. If material is free to mix with water, mixing may result in acidic water runoff.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards/Hazardous Combustion Products:
With extreme heating beyond dryness, decomposition of residue can yield sulfur oxides, and ammonia fumes.

SECTION V--REACTIVITY DATA

Reaction Conditions to Avoid: High heat. Mixing with incompatible materials.

Incompatibilities (Materials to Avoid):
Chlorine, chlorate, nitrate, nitrite, and sulfide compounds; cyanides, alkalis, and highly reactive metals (potential for hydrogen gas
generation).
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts:
On extreme heating beyond dryness: sulfur oxides, and ammonia fumes.

SECTION VI--HEALTH HAZARD/TOXICOLOGICAL DATA
Health Hazards:
The following is based on information/recommendations for undiluted components.

AS MIST. NO. YES. YES.
Exposure Risks- Inhalation: Skin Absorption/Contact: Ingestion: Eye Contact:

Acute: DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. Can cause eye burns.
Based on component data, the LD50 for Zinc Coatalyte #313 is estimated to be > 4244.61 mg/kg.
Chronic:
Some people develop ulceration of the skin (especially after contact with and open wound) or dermatitis after exposure to
zinc sulfate.
Long exposure to HIGH levels of sulfuric acid fume may cause tooth erosion, bronchial irritation/pneumonia and/or
intestinal disturbance.
Carcinogenicity, Reproductive Toxicity, Teratogenicity, and Mutagenicity:

AS MIST. YES. NO.
Listed By: NTP: IARC Monographs: OSHA Regulated:

NTP lists Strong Inorganic Acid Mists Containing Sulfuric Acid as 'Known to be Human Carcinogens'.
IARC lists occupational exposure to Strong-inorganic-acid mists containing sulfuric acid as 'carcinogenic to humans'.
No Component is listed by OSHA for special consideration.
ACGIH lists sulfuric acid contained in strong inorganic acid mists as 'Suspected Human Carcinogen'
ZACLON reports that zinc chloride has shown mutagenic in cell cultures and animal tests indicate possible embryotoxic activity--
implications for humans are not stated.
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure:
Respiratory irritation/distress, dermatitis.
Synergisms:
None known.

May 2005 (Supersedes Previous Editions) (Canadian Version) 2 MSDS FOR Zinc Coatalyte #313
Irritancy, Sensitization, and Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure:
Chronic skin disorders; open wounds.
Pre-existing lung disease may increase susceptibility to toxiciity of EXCESSIE exposure to zinc chloride.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Move to fresh air; flush affected area with water (especially under eyelids if eyes affected); remove contaminated clothing; treat for
shock as necessary. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If breathing stops, give artificial respiration. Call physician.
If taken internally, contact with eye/mucous membrane occurs, or irritation develops, contact physician/poison control center.
If taken internally and victim is conscious, give water to rinse mouth and dilute stomach contents. Slowly (to minimize rate of heat
generation) give aluminum hydroxide gel or milk of magnesia to neutralize diluted acid. DO NOT GIVE carbonates or baking soda
that may cause generation of carbon dioxide gas. Inducement of vomiting may aggravate local tissue irritation/injury and risks
aspiration of vomitus. Milk/egg white may be useful for gastric irritation but may induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs keep head below
hips to avoid aspiration of vomitus. Call physician.

SECTION VII--PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled:
Contain/absorb spill with inert material; ventilate area; restrict entry into area until material is collected/contained for proper disposal.
After pickup, clean effected area with mild alkaline (baking soda, etc.) and water solution.
Waste Disposal Method:
Comply with all federal, state and local regulations for ultimate disposal of acidic zinc waste solution.
Can be neutralized with calcium oxide (lime) or sodium carbonate (soda ash).
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: DO NOT MIX WITH OTHER CHEMICALS.
Keep container closed when not in use; store/use in ventilated areas and avoid temperature extremes. Keep away from foodstuff,
cyanide compounds, alkalis, reactive metals, and other incompatible materials. Do not store near combustible/flammable materials
(in the event of fire and container rupture, there is the potential for acidic zinc solution runoff from fire-fighting water).
Other Precautions: USE IN WELL-VENTILATED AREA. Keep away from children.
Zinc Coatalyte #313 may give off some ammonia odor or sulfur oxides during use.
To reduce the possibility of injury by splatter or obstruction of ventilation/air movement, do not crowd workpiece with body or face.
Avoid conditions that could allow workpiece to: bend/spring-back and "flick" solution; or drop into puddled solution and splash.

SECTION VIII--CONTROL/PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator.

Ventilation: Local Exhaust: YES. Special: Not Applicable.
Mechanical: As needed to augment exhaust. Other: Not Applicable.

Protective Gloves: Rubber, e.g., butyl or neoprene.

Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles/face shield. Avoid use of contact lenses.

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Inert, absorbent materials for spills.
As appropriate for conditions of use: Rubber aprons/suits, eye wash fountain, safety shower.
Work/Hygienic Practices: DO NOT TAKE INTERNALLY. Keep away from eyes and out of open wounds.
Practice good personal hygiene; do not smoke/eat/drink in area of use; wash hands after use; wash clothing/materials that may have
come in contact with chemicals.
