Self-protection of the first aider. Following inhalation Provide fresh air. In all cases of doubt, or when symptoms persist, seek medical advice. Following skin contact After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of water. Immediate medical treatment re- quired because corrosive injuries that are not treated are hard to cure. Following eye contact In case of contact with eyes flush immediately with plenty of flowing water for 10 to 15 minutes hold- ing eyelids apart and consult an ophthalmologist. Protect uninjured eye. Following ingestion Rinse mouth immediately and drink plenty of water. If swallowed danger of perforation of the eso- phagus and the stomach (strong corrosive effects). Call a physician immediately. 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Corrosion, Vomiting, Risk of blindness, Gastric perforation, Cough, Dyspnoea 4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed none Ireland (en) Page 3 / 17 Safety data sheet according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), amended by 2015/830/EU Zinc chloride ≥ 97%, crystalline article number: 3533 SECTION 5: Firefighting measures 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Co-ordinate fire-fighting measures to the fire surroundings water spray, foam, dry extinguishing powder, carbon dioxide (CO₂) Unsuitable extinguishing media water jet 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Non-combustible. Hazardous combustion products In case of fire may be liberated: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂) 5.3 Advice for firefighters Do not allow firefighting water to enter drains or water courses. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full chemical protective clothing. SECTION 6: Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures For non-emergency personnel Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Do not breathe dust. Provide adequate ventilation. 6.2 Environmental precautions Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it. 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Advice on how to contain a spill Covering of drains. Advice on how to clean up a spill Take up mechanically. Control of dust. Other information relating to spills and releases Place in appropriate containers for disposal. 6.4 Reference to other sections Hazardous combustion products: see section 5.

Provision of sufficient ventilation. Clear contaminated areas thoroughly. • Measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation Removal of dust deposits. Advice on general occupational hygiene Wash hands before breaks and after work. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in a dry place. Keep container tightly closed. Incompatible substances or mixtures Observe hints for combined storage. Consideration of other advice • Ventilation requirements Use local and general ventilation. • Specific designs for storage rooms or vessels Recommended storage temperature: 15 – 25 °C. 7.3 Specific end use(s) No information available.

Wear face protection. Skin protection • hand protection Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves. The times are approximate values from measurements at 22 ° C and permanent con- tact. Increased temperatures due to heated substances, body heat etc. and a reduction of the effect- ive layer thickness by stretching can lead to a considerable reduction of the breakthrough time.
