effects.
Contains Zinc Oxide: May be harmful if inhaled in high concentrations; can cause metal fume
fever.
Dust may cause respiratory irritation. Use personal protective equipment.
3. Composition/Information on Ingredients
Main components: Frit, Silica, Kaolin, Feldspar, Zircon, Barium Carbonate, Zinc Oxide,
Colorants (oxides).
Hazardous components:
- Crystalline Silica (0-25&) (CAS: 14808-60-7): Carcinogenic via inhalation.
- Barium Carbonate (0-4%) (CAS: 513-77-9): Toxic if ingested.
- Zinc Oxide (0-2%) (CAS: 1314-13-2): Can cause respiratory irritation; high-temperature
exposure may produce fumes.
4. First-Aid Measures
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin contact: Wash with water.
Eye contact: Rinse with water.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth and seek immediate medical advice if barium is suspected.
