SECTION 2: Hazards identification

GHS Classification: Not applicable to articles

Health hazards

Reproductive/Developmental – NL Results of tests in laboratory animals and cell culture systems have shown that zinc oxide can cause irreversible changes in the genetic material (DNA) of a cell. The human health consequence of these changes is not fully understood.

Environmental hazards

Acute Toxicity – NL Target Organ Toxicity – NL Aquatic Toxicity – NL Skin Corrosion/Irritation – NL Eye Corrosion/Irritation - NL

Physical hazards

Respiratory or Skin Sensitization – NL Flammability – NL (Not flammable Mutagenicity – NL or combustible) Carcinogenicity – NL

Precautionary statements

Not applicable EMERGENCY As a cold-applied product, thermal degradation is very unlikely, but thermal degradation products may OVERVIEW: include, but are not limited to, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, various hydrocarbons, and water. Inhalation of this product is unlikely due to its low volatility, but at temperatures above 1472 degrees F (800 degrees C), toxic metal oxide fumes (such as zinc oxide) may be given off. These fumes may cause metal fume fever. The symptoms of metal fume fever include fever, chills, sweats, nausea, vomiting, cough, muscle aches and pains, and difficulty breathing. Symptoms usually appear a few hours after exposure and subside within a 24 to 48 hours. See Section 10.

Potential health effects

EYES: Fumes evolved during hot processing may irritate eyes, nose and throat. Contact with molten material may cause thermal burns. SKIN: This product may cause skin irritation. Contact with molten material may cause thermal burns. There is insufficient information available on this product to predict the effects from skin absorption. INGESTION: Ingestion of this product is highly unlikely. Ingestion of excessive quantities may cause cough, salivation, metallic taste, diarrhoea, dizziness, irritability, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting, gastritis, and severe irritation of the mouth, nose, and stomach. INHALATION: Inhalation of this product is unlikely due to its low volatility. At temperatures above 1472 degrees metal oxide fumes may be generated. These fumes may cause metal fume fever. The symptoms of metal fume fever include fever, chills, sweats, nausea, vomiting, cough, muscle aches and pains, and difficulty breathing. Symptoms usually appear a few hours after exposure and subside within a 24 to 48 hours.

Acute Health Hazards

Possible irritation, as described above.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
