zinc sulphate

Post by PolyEster »

Could anyone tell me, if zinc sulphate is a Poison ( 6.1) or NR
as I am organising my chemical store room and there seems to be conflicting information on this chemical.
Thanks Gayle

Zinc Sulfate

Post by Labbie »

I was always told we in NSW should go through Chemwatch. When the packaged CSIS first came out in 1998?

Today at 10.00 am est Zinc Sulfate was a N/C Non Classificated chemical.

taken from Chemwatch.
