SECTION 4 – FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA

Will ignite / Explode and how to deal with it.
 No, Zinc nitrate itself is not typically explosive under normal conditions. But it can be combined
in the production of explosives when combined with other reactive substances. How stabile is
this product? Zinc nitrate is generally stable when stored and handled under normal conditions.
How it reacts under various condition?

Combustion: If exposed to an open flame or high temperatures, it can burn and produce zinc
oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen as products

SECTION 5 – REACTIVITY DATA

Zinc nitrate incompatibility with other substances - Zinc Nitrate is not compatible with
OXIDIZING AGENTS (such as PERCHLORATES, PEROXIDES, PERMANGANATES, CHLORATES,
NITRATES, CHLORINE, BROMINE and FLUORINE); CYANIDES; METAL POWDERS; AMINES; METAL
SALTS (such as TIN CHLORIDE); and ACETIC ANHYDRIDES.

Chemical Stability: Stable under normal conditions

Keep away from all COMBUSTIBLES and ORGANICS. Hazardous decomposition products -
Hazardous Decomposition Products Nitrogen oxides, nitrogen gas, toxic fumes of zinc oxide. Zinc
can enter the body through the lungs, skin, and gastrointestinal tract. Inhaling zinc nitrate dust
causes irritation in the throat and nose. Swallowing Zinc dinitrate can lead to corrosion of the
alimentary tract. Contact with the skin results in irritation and can cause rashes. When heated, it
may liberate toxic oxides of nitrogen.

SECTION 6 – TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

SECTION 7 – PREVENTIVE MEAURES

Wear Personal Protective Equipment such as safety goggles or eye protection, safety or gas
masks, and gloves. Store in tightly closed containers in cool and well ventilated areas and avoid
being close to oxidizing agents and combustibles. When disposing zinc nitrate, collect it and
place it on sealed containers and avoid disposing on the sewer or in bodies of water. In case of
spillage, avoid inhalation and avoid making skin contact and use an industrial vacuum to clean up
the spilled zinc nitrate.

SECTION 8 – FIRST AID MEASURES

Description of First Aid Measures

If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen.

In case of contact, immediately flush eyes or skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes
while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.

SECTION 9 – PROPER WASTE DISPOSAL

Waste disposal recommendations:
Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material Dispose of
empty containers as unused product Product or containers must not be disposed together with
household garbage. It is the responsibility of the waste generator to properly characterize all
waste materials according to applicable regulatory entities (US 40CFR262.111.Chemical waste
generators must determine whether a discarded chemical is classified as a hazardous waste.
Chemical waste generators must also consult local, regional, and national hazardous waste
regulations. Ensure complete and accurate classification
