THE ZRC DIFFERENCE Re-galvanizing of worn hot-dip
Metal fabrication
The ZRC difference is made possible by ZRC’s high zinc content (95% by weight in the
dried film) of “ultra pure” (ASTM D 520 Type III) zinc dust, ensuring that more metallic zinc Construction
is available for superior galvanic protection against corrosion. This high purity zinc dust is Manufacturing/OEM
compounded with a tenacious non-encapsulating binder using a highly controlled trade Antenna Towers
secret process in our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility.

Skin contact Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. If skin irritation
occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if
present and easy to do. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Ingestion Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Most important Narcosis. Behavioral changes. Decrease in motor functions. Direct contact with eyes may cause

themselves. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Dry sand. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
media
Specific hazards arising from Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
the chemical of ignition and flash back. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Special protective equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
and precautions for firefighters
Fire fighting In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
equipment/instructions so without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.
Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
General fire hazards Flammable liquid and vapor.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Eliminate all
protective equipment and ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate
emergency procedures protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist/vapors. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate
closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

Methods and materials for Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep
containment and cleaning up combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Take precautionary measures
against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools.

Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product
and place into a container for later disposal. Following product recovery, flush area with water.

Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual
contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all
environmental releases. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into
drains, water courses or onto the ground.

7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of
ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use non-sparking tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Do not breathe mist/vapors. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Should be handled in
closed systems, if possible. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands
thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices.
Conditions for safe storage, Store locked up. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Prevent electrostatic charge
including any incompatibilities build-up by using common bonding and grounding techniques. Store in a cool, dry place out of
direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in an
area equipped with sprinklers. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the
SDS).
