Replaces version dated: January 29, 2008 Page 1 of 9 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Revision: July 8, 2010 MSDS Nº: ANT/ZNTCR/US04 ZINC TETRAOXYCHROMATE SECTION 3 – HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (CONTINUED) Potential Health Effects 1. Skin: Short-term overexposure may cause irritation, redness and pain. Contact with broken skin may cause ulcers and absorption, which may cause poisoning. It may cause skin sensitization. 2. Eyes: May cause irritation and abrasion, corneal injury or blindness. 3. Inhalation: May cause ulceration and perforation of the nasal septum. It may produce pulmonary sensitization or allergic asthma. Lead can be absorbed through the respiratory system. 4. Ingestion: Overexposure may cause gastrointestinal upset, vomiting and possible diarrhea with abdominal cramps. 5. Chronic information: Repeated or prolonged exposure can lead to ulceration or perforation of the nasal septum, liver and kidney damage, respiratory irritation and ulceration of the skin. SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR ALL CASES OF OVEREXPOSURE Skin: Immediately wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and thoroughly clean before reuse. Seek medical attention. Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention. Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by a physician. Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills / Leaks: Take up and containerize any spills for reclamation or disposal. US CERCLA Regulations require reporting spills and releases to soil, water, and air in excess of reportable quantities. SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE PROCEDURES Handling: Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container tightly closed. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Storage: Store in cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Areas in which exposure to lead metal or lead compounds may occur should be identified by signs or other appropriate means, and access to the area should be limited to authorized persons. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residue (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep concentrations below Airborne Exposure Limits. Respiratory Protection: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements for European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use. Skin Protection: Wear appropriate protective clothing and gloves to prevent skin exposure. Eye Protection: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles to prevent eye exposure.
