2 Disposal: Dispose of contentscontainer to... (see Section 13). Other hazards which do not result in classification: SECTION 3: COMPOSITIONINFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Chemical Name CAS No. Concentration% Zinc chloride % Ammonium chloride % SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES Description of necessary first aid measures If inhaled: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician. In case of skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician. In case of eye contact: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. If swallowed: Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth with water. Consult a physician. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed: Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media: Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide. Water spray or fog - Large fires only. Special hazards arising from the chemical: Will not burn. May emit irritating, poisonous or corrosive fumes. Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear full body protective clothing with breathing apparatus. Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Fight fire from a safe distance, with adequate cover. Extinguishers should be used only by trained personnel. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot. Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance by using protective equipment. Environmental precautions: Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain spill with sand, earth or vermiculite. Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling. Collect solid residues and seal in labelled drums for disposal. Wash area and prevent runoff into drains. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling: Avoid personal contact and inhalation of dust, mist or vapours. Provide adequate ventilation. Always wear protective equipment and wash off any spillage from clothing. Keep material away from light, heat, flammables or combustibles. Keep dry, cool and away from incompatible materials. Avoid physical damage to containers. PRODUCT NAME: Zinc Ammonium Chloride. Revision Date July 2016 P a g e 2

3 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in original containers. Keep containers securely sealed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks. Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this MSDS. SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Control parameters: EMERGENCY LIMITS TEEL-0 TEEL-1 TEEL-2 TEEL-3 Zinc chloride (ppm) (ppm) (ppm) (ppm) Ammonium chloride 10 (ppm) 20 (ppm) 500 (ppm) 500 (ppm) Appropriate engineering controls: Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by mutual friction. If, in spite of local exhaust, an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Personal protective equipment: Eyeface protection: Safety glasses with side shields. Chemical goggles. Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. Skin protection: Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC. Wear safety footwear or gumboots, e.g. rubber. The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material. Respiratory protection: Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant.

4 SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Reactivity: Chemical stability: Contact with alkaline material releases heat. Possibility of hazardous reactions: Inorganic acids generate flammable andor toxic gases in contact with Dithiocarbamates, Isocyanates, Mercaptans, Nitrides, Nitriles, Sulphides, and strong reducing agents. Additional gas-generating reactions occur with Sulphites, Nitrites, Thiosulfates (to give H 2 S and SO 3 ), Dithionites (SO 2 ), and even Carbonates. Conditions to avoid: Heat, flames and sparks. Incompatible materials: Reducing agents, active metals, cyanides, esters, and thiocyanates. Hazardous decomposition products: Hydrogen Chloride, Metal Oxides, Nitrogen Oxides (NO x ). SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Information on the likely routes of exposure: Inhalation, Ingestion, skin, eyes. Symptoms related to the physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics: Acute health effects Inhalation: Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. Ingestion: Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful. Skin: The material can produce chemical burns following direct contact with the skin. Eyes: The material may cause eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals andor may produce significant ocular lesions. Chronic health effects: Numerical measures of toxicity (such as acute toxicity estimates): Zinc Chloride: Oral (rat) LD 50 : 350 mgkg; Ammonium Chloride: Oral (rat) LD 50 : 1650 mgkg. SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Toxicity: Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Persistence and degradability: Bioaccumulative potential: Mobility in soil: Other adverse effects: SECTION 13: Disposal methods: SECTION 14: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options. Consult Land Waste Authority for disposal. Bury or incinerate residue at an approved site. Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.
