Zinc Metal, Ganular

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention if symptoms appear.

Wash with soap and water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical attention if irritation develops.

Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation occurs.

Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, call a physician immediately. Loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.

SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray or fog.

Flammable solid. Produces flammable gases on contacts with water. It may ignite on contact with water or moist air.

Cool containing vessels with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.

Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.

Flammable solid that, in contact with water, emits flammable gases. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Eliminate all ignition sources. Call for assistance on disposal. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe dust. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis, moisture.

Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep from any possible contact with water.

Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition.

Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.

Gloves.

Safety glasses. Splash goggles (for large spill).

Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product (for large spill).

Lab coat. Full suit (for large spill). Boots (for large spill).

The product is stable.

Reactive with oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis, moisture. The product reacts violently with water to emit flammable but non toxic gases.

Will not occur.

Excess heat, incompatible materials

oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis, moisture, halogenated hydrocarbons, NH4NO3, barium oxide, Ba(NO3)2, Cadmium, CS2, chlorates, Cl2, CrO3, F2, Hydroxylamine, Pb(N3)2, MnCl2, HNO3, performic acid, KClO3, KNO3, N2O2, Selenium, NaClO3, Na2O2, Sulfur, Te, water, (NH4)2S, As2O3, CS2, CaCl2, chlorinated rubber, catalytic metals, halocarbons, o-nitroanisole, nitrobenzene, nonmetals, oxidants, paint primer base, pentacarbonoyliron, transition metal halides, seleninyl bromide, HCl, H2SO4, (Mg +Ba(NO3)2 +BaO2), (ethyl acetoacetate +tribromoneopentyl alcohol). Contact with Alkali Hydroxides (Sodium Hydroxide, Potassium Hydroxide, Calcium Hydroxide, etc) results in evolution of hydrogen. Ammonium nitrate + zinc + water causes a violent reaction with evolution of steam and zinc oxide.

flammable but non toxic gases, hydrogen, steam, zinc oxide

Waste must be disposed of in accordance with federal, state and local environmental control regulations.
