FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flammability Class 2 Flash Range: 105.°F Explosive Range: 0.5% 7.% EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, alcohol foam, CO2, dry chemical, and water fog may be ineffective but should be used to cool fire-exposed containers to prevent pressure build up and possible auto-ignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use full protection equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus for respiratory protection in fighting fires in enclosed or confined spaces, or as otherwise needed. Minimize breathing gases, vapors fumes or decomposition products. After the organic material has burned, zinc particles suspended in the air may form an explosive mixture; avoid any disturbance which could cause a dust cloud, such as gas propelled fire extinguishers, in the burning material. Direct the CLASS B extinguishing agent, such as dry chemicals, above the fire to rain down on the burning material. Care should be taken when applying a CLASS B extinguishing agent because some agents can accelerate a fire when most of the organics have been consumed. The metal will glow bright if burning, if this happens isolate the fire with dry inert granular material or CLASS D extinguishing agent then leave it alone. Allow material to become cool before disposal. UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS: During emergency conditions, over-exposure to decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention. ================================================================================

Acute Health Hazards

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Route Species Exposure and Dose *ZINC DUST Inhalation Unknown LD50 124. PPM MINERAL SPIRITS Inhalation Rat LC50 4 HOURS 5500. PPM Oral Rat LD50 5000. mg/kg Skin Rabbit LD50 3000. mg/kg PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL: SEE SECTION VIII EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: High vapor concentrations (> approx. 1000 ppm) are irritating to the eyes and the respiratory tract, may cause headaches and dizziness, are anesthetic, and have other central nervous system effects.

Principle Routes of Exposure

(X) Dermal (X) Inhalation ( ) Ingestion EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Eyes - flush thoroughly with running water for 15 minutes, including under eyelids. Get medical attention. Skin - promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation occurs get medical attention. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before re-use. Inhalation - if overcome by vapor, remove to an area free from risk of further exposure and call a physician immediately. Administer oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. Ingestion - do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration of liquid into the lungs. Get medical attention immediately. MEDICAL CONDITIONS PRONE TO AGGRAVATION BY EXPOSURE: Pre-existing eye, skin and respiratory disorders may be aggravated by exposure to this product. ================================================================================ SECTION 6. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY MEASURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stability: This product is stable Hazardous Polymerization: Hazardous polymerization will not occur INCOMPATIBILITY: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, such as liquid chlorine, concentrated oxygen, or sodium hypochlorite. CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid heat, open flames. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide and unidentified organics may be formed. ================================================================================ SECTION 7. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Before attempting cleanup, refer to hazard caution information in other sections of this sheet. LARGE SPILLS - notify safety personnel. Eliminate potential sources of ignition. Wear appropriate respirator and protective clothing. Soak up with absorbent such as sand, clay, or other suitable material. Place in non-leaking containers and seal tightly for proper disposal. Ventilate confined spaces. Minimize breathing vapors. Open all windows and doors. Minimize skin contact. Keep product out of sewers and water courses by diking and impounding. Observe precautions for volatile, combustible vapors from absorbed material. SMALL SPILLS - take up with absorbent material and place in non-leaking containers for proper disposal. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Assure conformity with applicable federal, state and local regulations. 5 of SECTION 8.

UNCONFINED SPACES - use a vapor/particulate respirator such as NIOSH approved No. TC-23C. CONFINED SPACES - use a constant flow air-line respirator such as NIOSH approved No. TC-19C. VENTILATION: Provide sufficient ventilation to keep air contaminant concentration below current applicable OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit or ACGIH's TLV Limit. No smoking or open lights. PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Use chemical-resistant gloves to prevent skin contact. EYE PROTECTION: Use splash goggles or face shield to prevent eye contact. Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb and all lenses concentrate irritants. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Use chemical-resistant or other protective outerwear to protect against clothing contamination and skin contact. ================================================================================ SECTION 9. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING, TRANSPORTATION, AND STORING: CAUTION! COMBUSTIBLE. Handling and storage conditions must be suitable for OSHA CLASS II combustible liquid. Store in cool, well-ventilated, fire resistant storage area. Protect containers against physical damage. Keep away from heat, flame, and strong oxidizing agents. Do not store above 100 degrees F. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed when not in use. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not take internally. Bond and ground containers of this material when pouring to avoid static sparks which create a fire hazard. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb and all lenses concentrate irritants. ================================================================================ SECTION 10.
