Zinc Chloride 7646-85-7 97 - 100% Yes
Inhalation: Extremely destructive to tissues of the mucous membranes and
upper respiratory tract. Symptoms may include burning sensation, coughing,
wheezing, laryngitis, shortness of breath, headache, nausea and vomiting.
Ingestion: Toxic. May cause irritation or corrosion to the
gastrointestinal tract with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. May cause
delayed death occurring from strictures of the esophagus and pylorus.
Skin Contact: May cause severe irritation, skin burns and ulcerations.
Solutions are corrosive. Symptoms include redness and pain.
Eye Contact: May cause redness, pain, and blurred vision. Splashes from
solutions may cause eye damage.
Chronic Exposure: Repeated skin contact can cause varying degrees of
problems ranging from dermatitis to ulcerations. Repeated Inhalation can cause
occupational asthma.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Dermatitis, cardiac and
respiratory disorders.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing,
give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical
attention immediately.
Ingestion: If swallowed, DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of
water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
attention immediately.
Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Get medical attention immediately. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean
shoes before reuse.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15
minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention
immediately.
Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard.
Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing
surrounding fire.
Special Information: Use protective clothing and breathing equipment
appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill.
Keep in a well closed container stored under cold to warm conditions, 2 to 40 C, (36 to 104F). Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits: Zinc chloride:OSHA
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
1 mg/m3 (TWA) 8H, as fume.ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):1 mg/m3 (TWA); 2
mg/m3 (STEL) for fume
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is
recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions
of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A
Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded,
a full facepiece respirator with dust/mist filter may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies
or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators
do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
Skin Protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots,
gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where
dusting or splashing of solutions is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and
quick-drench facilities in work area.
Appearance: White crystalline granules.
Odor: Odorless.
