Zinc Shot carries a recognized safety classification for professional environments. It is identified as Zinc powder (pyrophoric) and falls under the substance group of Metals. Its molecular formula is Zn, with a molecular weight of 65.4. It has a Boiling Point of 907 °C and a Melting Point of 419 °C. A Warning label is required due to its pyrophoric nature, which means it catches fire spontaneously when exposed to air. Additionally, it may cause eye irritation and pose a serious threat to aquatic life, both acutely and with long-lasting effects. Safety precautions include the prohibition of open flames, no admittance for unauthorized persons, the use of safety goggles, and the avoidance of extinguishing fires with water. Further supplementary data is available.
