Section 2

SECTION 2: Hazards identification

2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Zinc in massive form is not listed as a dangerous substance

2.2 Label elements

No label required

2.3 Other hazards

On the basis of the morphology of the product no hazardous properties are expected when it is handled and use with appropriate care. Conditions and work practices which generate dust or fumes should be avoided or controlled. Only dry metal should be added to a molten bath. Exposure to excessive moisture may result in water infiltration into metal cavities. When added to a molten bath, this could lead to bubbling and possibility of explosion if the water is trapped within the internal cavities. Never spray water on burning metal because of the risk of explosion which would splatter flaming particles of metal to great distances.
