MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) – Water-based Inorganic Zinc-Rich Primer KF-WS100

Material Safety Data Sheet · GB/T 16483-2008 · 16 chapters

Revision date: 2026-06-08 Version: 1.0 Series: waterborne inorganic zinc-rich primer KF-WS100

1 Identification of the substance / mixture and of the company / undertaking

Product Namewaterborne inorganic zinc-rich primer KF-WS100
Recommended useWaterborne inorganic zinc-rich primer is intended for industrial coating applications involving inorganic zinc silicate primer systems.
Use restrictionsFor industrial coating use only. The inorganic zinc silicate primer is a porous coating — a compatible sealer/intermediate coat (e.g. epoxy MIO) must be applied; do not apply alkyd or chlorinated rubber topcoats directly (saponification will occur).

4 First-aid measures

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention.

Skin contact

Wash with soap and water. Ethyl silicate vapour may irritate the skin.

Eye contact

Rinse for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Ethyl silicate may hydrolyse inside the eye and cause irritation.

Ingestion

Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek medical attention.

Most important symptoms and effects:Solvent vapour: dizziness and drowsiness. Zinc powder: see F01 zinc-rich epoxy.

Conditions requiring immediate medical attention:Treat symptomatically.

5 Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing mediaCO₂、Dry powder, alcohol-resistant foam(alcohol-type solvents require alcohol-resistant foam (AR-AFFF))
Inappropriate Extinguishing Media
Specific hazardsThe flame of burning alcohol solvent is almost invisible (pale blue). Combustion products: CO, CO₂. Zinc powder generates ZnO fume at high temperature.
Special protective equipment for firefightersSCBA

6 Spill release measures

Operator protection:PPE。remove ignition sources——Alcohol solvents are highly flammable.

Environmental precautions:Prevent entry into water bodies; zinc is highly toxic to aquatic life.

Containment and cleaning methods:Inert absorbent material. Explosion-proof tools and equipment.

7 Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Keep away from all ignition sources. Alcohol solvent vapour pressure is high — ensure adequate ventilation. Anti-static measures. Ethyl silicate hydrolyses slowly in humid air — keep containers tightly closed.

Storage Conditions

Cool storage at 5-30°C. Strictly waterproof and moisture-proof (ethyl silicate reacts with water). Store the zinc powder component separately from alcohol solvents. Shelf life: 12 months per component when stored separately.

8 Exposure controls / personal protection

substancePC-TWAPC-STELStandard
ethanol1,900 mg/m³ (PC-TWA, ref. ACGIH: 1,000 ppm)—GBZ 2.1-2019 (not listed, ref. ACGIH)
isopropanol350 mg/m³700 mg/m³GBZ 2.1-2019

Engineering controls

Explosion-proof ventilation equipment. Alcohol solvent vapour is heavier than air.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Respiratory systemCombination half-mask for organic vapour / particles(A/P2)
Hand protectionNitrile or PVA gloves (alcohol solvents)
Eye protectionSafety goggles
Skin and bodyAntistatic protective suit

9 Physical and chemical properties

AppearanceGrey liquid (zinc grey)
OdorCharacteristic alcohol odor
Flash PointApprox. 12-15°C (closed cup, contains ethanol/isopropanol) — highly flammable!
Relative Density1.5-2.1
Solubilitybinder reacts with moisture(Hydrolysis-condensation curing)
Solid content55-70%(zinc powder+silicate binder)

10 Stability and reactivity

Reactivityethyl silicate hydrolyzes and condenses with water/moisture——This is the curing mechanism. The reaction produces ethanol.
Chemical stability
Possibility of hazardous reactions
Conditions to avoidHumid air (causes premature curing of the product). High temperature. Open flame.
Incompatible materialsWater, moisture (curing reaction). Strong acids, strong bases.
Hazardous decomposition products

11 Toxicological information

Acute Toxicity

Routes of exposureindicatorTest species
oral ld50>2,000 mg/kg(Mixture)
inhalation lc50ethanol vapor: LC₅₀ > 20 mg/L/4h(低毒)

Other toxicological information

May cause allergy from inhalation or skin contactNot classified. Note: the curing agent (alcohol solution) has none of the sensitising properties of epoxy/isocyanate — a major safety advantage of this inorganic system.
CarcinogenicityNot classified
Aspiration hazardContains alcohol solvents — swallowing/inhalation risk relatively low compared with other solvents (alcohols have low viscosity but high volatility)

13 Disposal

Disposal method:HW12 (900-299-12). Zinc-containing waste requires special handling — do not mix with acids (hydrogen gas is generated).
