This product may be regulated, have exposure limits or other information identified as the following: Zinc compounds.

If adverse effects occur, remove to uncontaminated area. Give artificial respiration if not breathing. Get immediate medical attention. 

Wash skin with soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention, if needed. Thoroughly clean and dry contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse. 

Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Then get immediate medical attention. 

Contact local poison control center or physician immediately. Never make an unconscious person vomit or drink fluids. When vomiting occurs, keep head lower than hips to help prevent aspiration. If person is unconscious, turn head to side. Get medical attention immediately. 

For ingestion, consider gastric lavage and activated charcoal slurry. 

See Section 9 for Flammability Properties 

Slight fire hazard. Dust/air mixtures may ignite or explode. 

regular dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, regular foam 

Large fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray. 

Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding fire. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas. 

Do not touch spilled material. Stop leak if possible without personal risk. Small spills: Absorb with sand or other non-combustible material. Collect with absorbent into suitable container. Small dry spills: Collect spilled material in appropriate container for disposal. Move containers away from spill to a safe area. Large spills: Dike for later disposal. Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry. Notify Local Emergency Planning Committee and State Emergency Response Commission for release greater than or equal to RQ (U.S. SARA Section 304). If release occurs in the U.S. and is reportable under CERCLA Section 103, notify the National Response Center at (800)424-8802 (USA) or (202)426-2675 (USA). 

Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and standards. May be subject to EPA pesticide registration. Keep separated from incompatible substances. 

Component Exposure Limits 

Biological limit value 

Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits. 

Eyes/Face Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the immediate work area. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. 

Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. 

Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, respiratory protection may be needed. Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum. Consider warning properties before use. Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. For Unknown Concentrations or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece that is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode. Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.

Component Analysis - LD50/LC50 

Component Carcinogenicity

May react with nitrite under mildly acidic conditions such as those in the human stomach, to form N-nitrosodimethylamine, which has been shown to be carcinogenic in seven animal species Interactions with alcohol may occur. 

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE: Exposure to the aerosol has caused irritation of the nose and throat, gastritis, anemia, and vegetodystonia The dust may cause burning sensation in the eyes, nose, and throat, epistaxis and difficulty in breathing.

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause effects as described in acute exposure Neural and visual disturbances were also reported from prolonged exposure A higher frequency of abnormal chromosomes or chromatids was reported in cultured lymphocytes of workers exposed to zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate.

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE: May cause irritation It may be absorbed through intact skin Dithiocarbamates may cause itching, redness, and eczematoid dermatitis in predisposed individuals.

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE: May cause dermatitis upon heavy exposure Repeated contact with dithiocarbamates may cause sensitization in some individuals.

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE May cause irritation, a burning sensation and mild conjunctivitis.

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE Repeated or prolonged contact may cause conjunctivitis.

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE: Emphysema, hemolysis, brain edema and hemorrhage, dystrophy of the muscle, liver and kidney, and local necrosis of the intestine were reported in a fatal case of human poisoning Ingestion of dithiocarbamates may cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, headache, lethargy, dizziness, ataxia, confusion, drowsiness, emotional lability and coma In animal studies, muscle weakness and ascending paralysis progressed to respiratory paralysis and death.

ZINC DIMETHYLDITHIOCARBAMATE: Rats given diets containing 2500 ppm for 2 years experienced some weight reduction, but no mortalities were reported Adverse effects on fertility, the fetus, and fetal developmental abnormalities were reported from chronic feeding studies of pregnant rats In an NTP study, increased incidences of C-cell carcinomas of the thyroid gland were observed in male rats and increased incidences of alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas and of combined alveolar/bronchiolar adenomas or carcinomas occurred in female mice No evidence of carcinogenic activity was observed in the opposite sex of either species Rats administered 2000 ppm for 24 months developed epiphyseal abnormalities of the long bones of the hind legs Animals receiving 25 mg/kg per day for one year suffered from convulsions.
