Emergency Overview: A clear or slightly opaque liquid. Not flammable or explosive, but will decompose in extreme heat to produce toxic sulfur oxide gas and zinc oxide fume. The liquid is relatively non-toxic to humans and poses little immediate hazard to emergency response personnel but is freely soluble in water and can pose a threat to watercourses due to its high concentration of dissolved zinc.
Potential Acute Health Effects
Direct contact with eyes may mildly irritate eyes. Dried residues may cause eye nose, and throat irritation. If greatly heated in the presence of air it will generated zinc oxide fumes. Inhalation of zinc oxide fume can cause metal fume fever which is a temporary flu-like ailment. Ingestion may cause strong stomach cramps and diarrhea and may induce spontaneous vomiting.
