Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Highly flammable. May ignite spontaneously on contact with air. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with water or incompatible substances. See Chemical Dangers.
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use special powder, dry sand. NO water. NO foam, carbon dioxide. NO other agents. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. NO direct contact of the substance with water.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Remove all ignition sources. Consult an expert! Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Do NOT wash away into sewer. Sweep spilled substance into covered dry containers. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with oxidizing agents, acids, bases, water or incompatible substances. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Prevent deposition of dust. Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Fireproof. Well closed. Separated from incompatible materials and : see Chemical Dangers. Store in an area without drain or sewer access. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.

Possibility of hazardous reactions
Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air. If dry, it can be charged electrostatically by swirling, pneumatic transport, pouring, etc.On combustion forms zinc oxide fumes. See Notes. The substance is a strong reducing agent. It reacts violently with oxidants, acids and bases. Reacts with water. This produces flammable/explosive gas (hydrogen - see ICSC 0001). Reacts violently with sulfur, halogenated hydrocarbons and many other substances. This generates fire and explosion hazard.
