Molecular Weight: Not applicable to mixtures.
Chemical Formula: Zn(NO3)2
Product Codes: 261118
Ingredient CAS No Percent Hazardous --------------------------------------- ------------ ------------ --------- Zinc Nitrate 7779-88-6 55 - 75% Yes
Inhalation:Causes irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath. Methemoglobinemia may occur.
Ingestion:Causes irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. If appreciable amounts are ingested, abdominal pain, cramps and nausea may result together with faintness and bluish lips and skin (methemoglobinemia).
Skin Contact:Causes irritation to skin. Symptoms include redness, itching, and pain.
Eye Contact:Irritant. Causes redness, tears and pain, possibly blurred vision.
Chronic Exposure:Zinc salts are eliminated fairly promptly, making chronic effects less than acute.
Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:No information found.
Inhalation:Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.
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:Wipe off excess material from skin then immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. 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 combustible, but substance is a strong oxidizer and its heat of reaction with reducing agents or combustibles may cause ignition. Increases flammability of any combustible substance in contact with it.
Explosion:Not considered to be an explosion hazard.
Fire Extinguishing Media:Water or water spray in early stages of fire. Foam or dry chemical may also be used.
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.
Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8.
Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage and moisture. Isolate from any source of heat or ignition. Avoid storage on wood floors. Separate from incompatibles, combustibles, organic or other readily oxidizable materials. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.
Airborne Exposure Limits:None established.
Ventilation System:A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. 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):For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent and engineering controls are not feasble, consult an industrial hygienist. 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:Colorless to yellowish liquid.
Odor:Slight nitric acid odor.
Solubility:Soluble in water.
Specific Gravity:No information found.
pH:No information found.
% Volatiles by volume @ 21C (70F):0
Boiling Point:No information found.
Melting Point:No information found.
Vapor Density (Air=1):No information found.
Vapor Pressure (mm Hg):No information found.
Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1):No information found.
Stability:Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Hazardous Decomposition Products:Oxides of nitrogen and toxic metal fumes may form when heated to decomposition.
Hazardous Polymerization:Will not occur.
Incompatibilities:Metal powders, cyanides, sodium hypophosphite, stannous chloride, phosphorus, thiocyanates, carbon, metallic sulfides, sulfur, organic materials. Substance is capable of reacting rapidly with reducing agents and combustible materials at elevated temperatures.
Conditions to Avoid:Heat, flames, ignition sources and incompatibles.
Oral rat LD50 = 1190 mg/Kg.
