SECTION 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

- Inhalation: Zinc carbonate can irritate the respiratory tract, the effect being that of a mild alkali. -Some soreness and coughing are symptoms.
- Ingestion: Not considered a significantly toxic substance, but contact with gastric juice can produce zinc chloride. Pain and strictures or cramps may occur in this case, and medical attention should be obtained.
- Skin Contact: Mild irritant and astringent, can cause pain and redness on long contact.
- Eye Contact: Mild, alkaline irritant, may cause some mechanical injury.
- Chronic Exposure: No information found.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: No information found.


SECTION 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Component: Zinc carbonate
CAS-No: 3486-35-9
Weight %: 90 - 100


SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

- Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
- Ingestion: Induce vomiting immediately as directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
- Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical advice if irritation develops.
- Eye Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Call a physician if irritation persists.


SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

- Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard. Sealed containers may burst under fire conditions due to release of carbon dioxide.
- Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
- Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire.
- Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.


SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.


SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. 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.


SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

- Airborne Exposure Limits: Zinc oxide:-OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):
fume: 5 mg/m3 (TWA) respirable fraction: 5 mg/m3 (TWA)total dusts: 15 mg/m3 (TWA)-ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):2 mg/m3 (TWA), 10 mg/m3 (STEL), Respirable fraction
- 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 and engineering controls are not feasible, a half facepiece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest.. A full-face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filters) 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. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, glycerine, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH type R or P filter. 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 protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
- Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

About Zinc Carbonate

High purity Zinc CarbonateCarbonate IonZinc Carbonate is a water insoluble Zinc source that can easily be converted to other Zinc compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcination). Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids. Zinc Carbonate is generally immediately available in most volumes. High purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. Typical and custom packaging is available. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

Zinc

See more Zinc products. Zinc (atomic symbol: Zn, atomic number: 30) is a Block D, Group 12, Period 4 element with an atomic weight of 65.38. The number of electrons in each of zinc's shells is 2, 8, 18, 2, and its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d10 4s2. Zinc Bohr ModelThe zinc atom has a radius of 134 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 210 pm. Zinc was discovered by Indian metallurgists prior to 1000 BC and first recognized as a unique element by Rasaratna Samuccaya in 800. Zinc was first isolated by Andreas Marggraf in 1746. In its elemental form, zinc has a silver-gray appearance. It is brittle at ordinary temperatures but malleable at 100 °C to 150 °C.Elemental Zinc It is a fair conductor of electricity, and burns in air at high red producing white clouds of the oxide. Zinc is mined from sulfidic ore deposits. It is the 24th most abundant element in the earth's crust and the fourth most common metal in use (after iron, aluminum, and copper). The name zinc originates from the German word "zin," meaning tin.
