No. Percent by Zinc Nitrate (Zn(NO3)2) 7779-88-6 50.00% Water (H20) 7732-18-5 50.00% Inhalation Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion Acute Health Hazards Chronic Health Hazards Suitable Extinguishing Techniques & Equipment Chemical Hazards From Fire Special Fire Fighting Procedures Other Harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Destructive to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Redness and irritation of tissue may occur. Ingestion can lead to stomach aches and nausea. High levels of zinc nitratemay reduce the bloods ability to transport oxygen causing headaches, fatigue, dizziness and blue lips and skin (methemoglobinemia). Exposure to zinc compounds are mainly acute and last less than a day. If swallowed: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink large amounts of water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek prompt medical attention. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Section 3 – Composition Section 4 – First Aid Measures If inhaled: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Provide artificial respiration if necessary. Seek medical attention if necessary. If on skin (or hair): Take off all contaminated clothing. Flush exposed area with water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before reuse. If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention as necessary. NFPA Rating Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures Not combustible, but can contribute to the intensity of the fire. Use appropriate extinguishing agent for the surrounding material. Use water, chemical foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. Water spray may be used to cool unopened containers. If allowed to evaporate to dryness, zinc nitrate acts as an oxidizer. Contact with oxidizable substances may result in ignition, violent combustion or explosion. Poisonous gases are produced in fire including nitrogen oxides and zinc oxide vapors. wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fire fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment, full turn-out gear, and utilize a SCBA (self contained breathing apparatus). Keep upwind. Fight fire from a protected location.
