Emergency overview: Routes of exposure: Inhalation, Ingestion, Skin Contact, Eye Contact Potential Health Effects There are no reports in the literature of adverse effects attributed to zinc sulfide, which comprises >99% of this product. Eye: If irritation occurs, flush with copious amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Skin: If irritation occurs, thoroughly wash affected area with mild soap and water and prevent further contact. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Ingestion: If person is conscious, and if substantial quantities are swallowed, give large quantity of water to drink, induce vomiting and seek medical attention. Inhalation: If irritation or other symptoms occur, remove from exposure. Seek medical attention. Chronic: Not known.

Ingestion: If person is conscious, and if substantial quantities are swallowed, give large quantity of water to drink, induce vomiting and seek medical attention. Inhalation: If irritation or other symptoms occur, remove from exposure. Seek medical attention. Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Flash Point: Not available Flammable Limits: LEL: Not available UEL: Not available General Information: No fire hazard. Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing agents suitable for the surrounding fire. Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Use a self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of dust, mist and/or fumes that may be generated during fire fighting activities. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None
General Information: Dispose of in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations. Spills/Leaks: Ventilate spill area. Clean-up using methods which avoid dust generation, such as vacuuming (with appropriate filter to prevent airborne dust levels which exceed the PEL or TLV), wet dust mop, or wet clean-up. If airborne dust is generated, us an appropriate NIOSH approved respirator.

Engineering Controls: Exposure Limits: Note: This material contains greater than 99% Zinc Sulfide. No TLV or PEL has been established for zinc sulfide. The TLV for particulates not otherwise classified is 10 mg/m3. The PEL for particulates not otherwise classified is 15 mg/m3. Note: This material contains Copper and Aluminum in concentrations of less than 1% and are part of the chemical structure. The PEL and TLV for copper dust and mists is 1.0 mg/m3. The PEL for copper fumes is 0.1mg/m3. The TLV for copper fumes is 0.2 mg/m3. OSHA Vacated PELs: Engineering Controls: If user operations generate dust or fumes, ventilate area to prevent accumulation. Personal Protection: Inhalation: Use appropriate respiratory protection where atmosphere exceeds recommended limits. Skin: Protective clothing including chemical resistant gloves, such as long sleeves or a lab coat should always be worn when working with this material. Open shoes should not be worn either. When handling heated materials, also be sure to use heat-resistant gloves, boots and face protection. Eye: Always use chemical safety goggles, even for working with small quantities, such as the loading of small chunks into a tungsten basket for vacuum evaporation. Other protective measures: Always have safety shower and eye bath nearby. Wear dust mask. This material is air and moisture sensitive. Store under nitrogen and in a cool dry place.
