Section 5 – Fire-fighting Measures


5(a) Suitable (and Unsuitable) Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishers appropriate for surrounding materials.
5(b) Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Not applicable for solid product.
5(c) Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-fighters: Self-contained NIOSH approved respiratory protection and full
protective clothing should be worn when fumes and/or smoke from fire are present. Heat and flames cause emittance of acrid smoke and fumes.
Do not release runoff from fire control methods to sewers or waterways. Firefighters should wear full face-piece self-contained breathing
apparatus and chemical protective clothing with thermal protection. Direct water stream will scatter and spread flames and, therefore, should not
be used.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures


6(a) Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Not applicable in solid state. For spills involving finely
divided particles, clean-up personnel should be protected against contact with eyes and skin. If material is in a dry state, avoid inhalation of dust.
Fine, dry material should be removed by vacuuming or wet sweeping methods to prevent spreading of dust. Avoid using compressed air. Do not
release into sewers or waterways. Collect material in appropriate, labeled containers for recovery or disposal in accordance with Federal,
Provincial/State, and Local regulations.
6(b) Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up: Collect material in appropriate, labeled containers for recovery or disposal in

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection


8(a) Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs):.The following exposure limits are offered as reference, for an experience industrial hygienist to
review.
Ingredients OSHA PEL 1 ACGIH TLV 2 NIOSH REL 3 MOL 4
Zinc 5.0 mg/m³ (as zinc oxide fume) 2.0 mg/m³ (as zinc oxide) 10 mg/m³ (as total dust) 2.0 mg/m³ (as zinc oxide,
15 mg/m³ (as total dust) 5.0 mg/m³ (as respirable dust) respirable fraction)
5.0 mg/m³ (as respirable fraction) “STEL” 10mg/m3 (as
respirable fraction)
Aluminum 15 mg/m³ (as total dust, PNOR 5) 1.0 mg/m³ (as respirable 10 mg/m³ (as total dust) 1.0 mg/m³ (as respirable
5.0 mg/m³ (as respirable fraction, PNOR) fraction) 5.0 mg/m³ (as respirable dust) fraction)
NE - None Established
1. OSHA PELs (Permissible Exposure Limits) are 8-hour TWA (time-weighted average) concentrations unless otherwise noted. A (“C”) designation denotes a ceiling limit, which should
not be exceeded during any part of the working exposure unless otherwise noted. An Action level (AL) is used by OSHA and NIOSH to express a health or physical hazard. They
indicate the level of a harmful or toxic substance/activity, which requires medical surveillance, increased industrial hygiene monitoring, or biological monitoring. Action Levels are
generally set at one half of the PEL but the actual level may vary from standard to standard. The intent is to identify a level at which the vast majority of randomly sampled exposures
will be below the PEL.
2. Threshold Limit Values (TLV) established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) are 8-hour TWA concentrations unless otherwise noted.
ACGIH TLVs are for guideline purposes only and as such are not legal, regulatory limits for compliance purposes. A Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is defined as the maximum
concentration to which workers can be exposed for a short period of time (15 minutes) for only four times throughout the day with at least one hour between exposures.
3. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Recommended Exposure Limits (NIOSH-REL) - Compendium of Policy and Statements. NIOSH, Cincinnati, OH (1992).
NIOSH is the federal agency designated to conduct research relative to occupational safety and health. As is the case with ACGIH TLVs, NIOSH RELs are for guideline purposes only
and as such are not legal, regulatory limits for compliance purposes.
4. Ontario Ministry of Labour. Employers are required under section 4 of Regulation 833, Control of Exposure to Biological or Chemical Agents (the “Regulation”), to limit the exposure
of workers to specified hazardous biological or chemical agents in accordance with the values set out in the “Ontario Table” (which is Table 1 in the Regulation) or, if the agent is not
listed in the Ontario Table, the ACGIH Table that is incorporated by reference in the Regulation.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection (continued)


8(a) Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) (continued):
5. PNOR (Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated). All inert or nuisance dusts, whether mineral, inorganic, or organic, not listed specifically by substance name are covered by a limit
which is the same as the inert or nuisance dust limit of 15 mg/m3 for total dust and 5 mg/m3 for the respirable fraction.
6. Inhalable fraction. The concentration of inhalable particulate for the application of this TLV is to be determined from the fraction passing a size-selector with the characteristics defined
in the ACGIH 2015 TLVs ® and BEIs ® (Biological Exposure Indices) Appendix D, paragraph A.
7. PNOS (Particulates Not Otherwise Specified). Particulates identified under the PNOS heading are “nuisance dusts” containing no asbestos and <1% crystalline silica.
8. Respirable fraction. The concentration of respirable dust for the application of this limit is to be determined from the fraction passing a size-selector with the characteristics defined in
ACGIH 2015 TLVs ® and BEIs ® Appendix D, paragraph C.

8(b) Appropriate Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation should be used to control the emission of air contaminants. General dilution
ventilation may assist with the reduction of air contaminant concentrations. Emergency eye wash stations and deluge safety showers should be
available in the work area.
8(c) Individual Protection Measures:
 Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations
(29 CFR 1910.134) and, if necessary, use only a NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitability to provide adequate
worker protection for given working conditions, level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient oxygen. Concentration in air of
the various contaminants determines the extent of respiratory protection needed. Half-face, negative-pressure, air-purifying respirator
equipped with P100 filter is acceptable for concentrations up to 10 times the exposure limit. Full-face, negative-pressure, air-purifying
respirator equipped with P100 filter is acceptable for concentrations up to 50 times the exposure limit. Protection by air-purifying negative-
pressure and powered air respirators is limited. Use a positive-pressure-demand, full-face, supplied air respirator or self contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) for concentrations above 50 times the exposure limit. If exposure is above the IDLH (immediately dangerous to life or
health) for any of the constituents, or there is a possibility of an uncontrolled release or exposure levels are unknown, then use a positive-
demand, full-face, supplied air respirator with escape bottle or SCBA.
Warning! Air-purifying respirators both negative-pressure, and powered-air do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
 Eyes: Wear appropriate eye protection to prevent eye contact. For operations, which result in elevating the temperature of the product to or
above its melting point or result in the generation of airborne particulates, use safety glasses to prevent eye contact. Contact lenses should not

be worn where industrial exposures to this material are likely. 
 Skin: Wear appropriate personal protective clothing to prevent skin contact. For operations, which result in elevating the temperature of the
product to or above its melting point or result in the generation of airborne particulates, use protective clothing, and gloves to prevent skin
 contact. Protective gloves should be worn as required for burning or handling operations.
 Other protective equipment: An eyewash fountain and deluge shower should be readily available in the work area. 
