Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical help, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person
Note to Doctor: Treat according to symptoms, monitor for delayed allergic response, consider effects of zinc and resin acid derivatives
Acute Symptoms: Nausea (if ingested), dermatitis (on skin), eye irritation, respiratory irritation (if dust inhaled)
Delayed Health Effects: Sensitization and possible allergic skin reaction with repeated skin contact
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide, avoid high-pressure water jet which may spread burning resin

Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical resistant suit
Fire Fighting Instructions: Prevent run-off to waterway, cool containers exposed to fire with water spray
Flammability: Moderate; dust or flakes may generate combustible airborne particles
Decomposition Products: Zinc fumes, organic acids, volatile organic compounds
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, goggles, dust mask; avoid creating dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent residue from entering storm drains, soil, or waterways
Cleaning Methods: Sweep up gently, use wet methods or vacuum with HEPA filter, avoid dry sweeping to prevent dust
Containment: Collect spilled material in appropriate labelled containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash area with water and detergent, ventilate area after cleanup
Disposal: Handle collected waste in accordance with product disposal guidelines
Safe Handling: Handle in well-ventilated space, avoid contact with eyes or skin, avoid inhaling dust
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly-sealed, labelled containers in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place away from strong acids and oxidizers
Incompatibles: Avoid contact with acids, bases, and strong oxidizing agents
Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after use, remove contaminated clothing, prevent dust buildup
Specific Use Notes: Avoid handling near food or beverages, maintain regular housekeeping to reduce risk
Empty Container Caution: Residual material may remain and pose risk
Exposure Limits: Zinc oxide dust ACGIH TLV 2 mg/m³ (TWA), colophony resin acids can cause sensitization
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure, dust collectors
