SAFETY DATA SHEET

1 - IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION AND OF THE COMPANY
IDENTIFICATION OF THE PREPARATION

PASSIVATEUR N2 or FINISH AC (code 10033)

CADMIUM / ZINC PASSIVATING (code: DSF 8010)
USE OF THE PREPARATION
This solution has been specially formulated to passivate electroplated cadmium or zinc (ZINGAGE N solution).
This treatment increases the corrosion resistance thanks to the growth of a layer of chromates at the surface.
It is applied at room temperature by soaking the part for 8 to 12 s or locally by damping the metal with a piece of cotton
wool for 25 to 30 s, just where it is necessary. The stored and used quantities of solution are therefore small.

2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
CHEMICAL NATURE
Aqueous acidic preparation containing in particular sodium dichromate.
PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TO 1999/45/EC and 67/548/EC
Symbols: T+, N, risks phrases: R 45-46-60-61-22-26-34-42/43-48/23-51/53
MAIN HAZARDS
Adverse physicochemical effects
- Fire or explosion: this product is not classified as flammable or explosive but it can favour the combustion of other
matters if it is present in large quantities especially in the dehydrated state.
Adverse effects on health
According to the available data, this preparation is:

corrosive (may cause burns),

allergenic by inhalation and by contact with skin,

very toxic by inhalation and toxic by prolonged exposure,

harmful if swallowed.
nd
It contains a carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for reproduction agent of the 2 category (unproved effects on man but
there is sufficient evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure to it may result in such effects): if
protective measures are not taken, the risk of a cancer development can thus be increased as well as the risk of
hereditary genetic changes. Loss of fertility and development retardations of the child may be also possible both before
and after birth.
Effects on the environment
This preparation is classified as TOXIC to the aquatic environment.
Refer also to the paragraphs 11, 13 and 15.

9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
-

Appearance: orange-coloured liquid.

Odour: odourless.
pH: < 1.
Relative density: 1.13.
Solubility: miscible in water in all proportions.
Boiling point: approximately 100C.
Crystallisation / melting point: - 4C.
Flammability: nil.
Oxidising properties, risk of explosion or fire: risk in case of thermal decomposition or by contact with easily
oxidizable materials.
Other properties: not applicable.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY
Good at room temperature with water evaporation for only risk.
Good in humidity and light.
CONDITIONS TO AVOID
High temperatures: sodium dichromate decomposition begins at about 400C, the one of sulphuric acid is practically
complete at 450C.
MATERIALS TO AVOID
The basic products, the reducers and combustible matters, the organic products, oils and greases. Incompatible with
hydroxylamine, hydrazine
HAZARDOUS THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
Toxic and pungent fumes: emission notably of oxygen, chromium oxides, chromate, sodium oxide and sulfur oxides.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No data are available regarding the preparation. The evaluation of health hazards has been realised thanks to
directives 67/548/EC, 1999/45/EC and bibliographical data.
METABOLISM
Chromium VI derivatives are absorbed by the alimentary tract. Chromium VI is reduced in Chromium III in the intestine.
The penetration by pulmonary way is also important. Chromium VI can pass the skin.
The accumulation occurs in all organs, in particular in the lungs. Chromium is essentially eliminated via the kidneys (80%
of the dose).
An urinary elimination of chromium from 40 to 50 g / L of urine or of 30 g/g of creatinine in a sample collected at the
3
end of day seems to correspond to a middle exposure of 0.05 mg of chromium / m during the day.
SKIN
May cause caustic damage in case of contact, necroses and digestive and renal problems. May also cause on some
sensitive people recurring ulcerations which can persist several months in case of repeated contacts.
EYE MUCOSA
May cause severe burns in case of contact.

4/6

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Very toxic by inhalation. Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure. May also cause sensitisation by
inhalation (asthma, rhinitis).
IN CASE OF INGESTION
Harmful. May cause caustic damage, liver and kidney attacks and cardiovascular problems.
According to studies on animals, this preparation is suspected to cause on man cancer, hereditary genetic changes, loss
of fertility and undesirable effects upon the unborn child (agent of the 2nd class).
OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES: tables n10, 10a (in FRANCE).
________________________________________________________________________________________________
12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There are no ecological data on the preparation.
Prevent any material from entering drains or waterways or earth.
In general, a pH lower than 5 is fatal.
The toxicity tends to increase with the decrease of water hardness and the increase of temperature.
ECOTOXICITY
Bibliographic data concerning sodium dichromate:
LC50: 96 h, 69 mg Cr /L (trout, salmo gairdneri)
EC50 : 24 h, 1.4 mg Cr /L (Daphnia magna)
Bibliographic data concerning sulphuric acid (at 94-98 %):
FISH-LC50 (24 h) = 82 mg/L, DAPHNIA-EC50 (24 h) = 29 mg/L.
DEGRADABILITY: Chromium VI in water can be reduced in Chromium III by organic matters in water; Chromium III will
settle in the sediments.
BIOACCUMULATIVE POTENTIAL: the bioaccumulation of chromium in soil and on the plants in surface is unlikely.
Chromium is found in many organisms living in soft water and accumulates moderately. There is no indication of the
biologic increase of the chromium concentration along the food chain (earth, plant and animal). Sulphuric acid has a low
potential of bioaccumulation.
According to directive 67/548/EC, the concentration of chromate ions is sufficient to classify this preparation with the N
symbol Dangerous for the environment and the R51-53 phrase.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
This product and water used for rinsing must not be thrown away notably because of their acidity and content in
chromium. They must be processed within the firm or destroyed by an approved organization.
Contaminated packaging if not re-used with the same product is also special waste to be sent to an approved
organization for recycling or disposal.
Classification according to the commission directive 2000/532/EC of 3 May 2000 and its modifications (in particular
2001/118/EC, OJ L47). Use the mandatory documents to follow-up the waste products.
