Eye Skin Ingestion Inhalation Note to Physician Suitable extinguishing media Fire and Explosion Hazards PPE and precautions for firefighters Suggested PPE, Equipment and Procedures Environmental Precautions Methods and materials for containment and cleanup Handling Precautions Storage Precautions 4. First Aid Measures Wash with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If skin irritation persists, seek medical advice. Contact Poison Control Center and occupational physician. Remove person to fresh air and seek medical advice. Treat symptomatically. 5. Firefighting Measures Utilize compatible fire extinguishing media, including water, and any dry medial, carbon dioxide (CO2). Material is not considered to be combustible. Material may melt with decomposition under fire conditions. Self-contained breathing apparatus may be appropriate when fighting fires with mineral compounds present. Prevent extinguishing media from reaching water bodies and sewers. 6. Accidental Release Measures Wear disposable coveralls, FFP2 / P2 filter mask, rubber gloves, and protective eye goggles or total face protection. Prevent the product from entering water courses or sewers. Lightly sweep or vacuum material to collect. Place in clean, dry container. 7. Handling and Storage Store in a cool, dry place. Practice good personal hygiene when handling product. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust. Handle in a well-ventilated area or wear adequate respiratory protection (FFP2 / P2 filter mask). Avoid contact with skin and eyes using working clothes, gloves and protective glasses. Do not eat, smoke or drink during use. After use, keep the packaging tightly closed. Keep in sealed containers away from humidity and sunlight. Store the product in a wellventilated warehouse away from flammable products. Keep out of reach of children and un-authorized personnel.
8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection No threshold limit values have been established for materials contained in this mixture (Zinc Hydroxychloride, Manganese Hydroxychloride, Basic Copper Chloride). Occupational Exposure Limit Values Engineering Controls Individual Protection Measures Zinc Dust ACGIH 8 Hr TLV: 1mg/m3 Manganese Dust NIOSH 15 min STEL: 3mg / m 3 Copper Dust ACGIH 8 Hr TLV: Local or general area ventilation to control dust. Protective eyewear is prudent, especially in dusty areas. Good hygiene is recommended to limit skin exposure. Respiratory protection should be selected appropriate to the dustiness of the work. 9.

Stability and Reactivity Hazardous polymerization will not occur. May decompose and produce Metal Chloride fumes when heated above 480 F. 11. Toxicological Information Dermal absorption, inhalation or ingestion. This material was subjected to a research study involving feeding this material to animals in varying concentrations greater than normal animal feed additive concentrations. The results of the study indicate that the animals were able to utilize this material, with no adverse health effects, in place of the minerals they had been accustomed to being fed. Symptoms of intake of harmful levels of zinc include: convulsions, vomiting, abdominal pain, shock and death. Symptoms of acute manganese exposure include: lung irritation and potential neurological impacts. Symptoms of intake of harmful levels of copper include: convulsions, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and yellow skin (jaundice). Ingestion of large amounts of mineral containing material may be harmful. Eye Hazards: potentially moderately irritating. Metal chloride compounds have been reported to cause eye irritation, which may be an allergic reaction. Ingestion Hazards: may be harmful if ingested. Inhalation Hazards: may be harmful if inhaled. Inhalation of metal dust has caused damage to red blood cells, liver, pancreas, and lung cells. Skin Hazards: prolonged exposure may have the potential for moderate skin irritation. Metal chloride compounds have been reported to cause skin irritation, which may be an allergic reaction. Discoloration of skin may occur, but it is not indicative of injury or illness. LD 50 data for manganese hydroxychloride and zinc hydroxychloride have not been established. Basic Copper Chloride oral (rat) LD 50 1,440 mg/kg. 12. Ecological Information The product is not environmentally persistent. It will release copper, manganese and zinc as a trace mineral when it reacts with acids, bases, or complexing reagents. Copper, Manganese and Zinc are essential trace minerals which are needed to sustain normal metabolic functions. Copper, Manganese and Zinc are not bio-accumulative, and are readily cleared and excreted.
