Since the substance, which is dry or wetted with less than 20% water by mass, is defined as UN0236 and Division 1.3, it was classified into Division 1.3. (If the substance is wetted with not less than 20% water by mass, it is defined as UN1517 and a desensitized explosive. Based on this information it was classified into the "Not classified" category.
2 Flammable gases (including chemically unstable gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid
3 Aerosols Not applicable - - - - Not aerosol products.
4 Oxidizing gases Not applicable - - - - Solid
5 Gases under pressure Not applicable - - - - Solid
6 Flammable liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
7 Flammable solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Self-reactive substances and mixtures Not applicable - - - - Since the substance is classified as an explosive, classification as a self-reactive substance is not applicable.
9 Pyrophoric liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
10 Pyrophoric solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
11 Self-heating substances and mixtures Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
12 Substances and mixtures which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases Not classified - - - - Since the substance can be wetted with water, we determined that it is stable in contact with water and classified it into the "Not classified" category.
13 Oxidizing liquids Not applicable - - - - Solid
14 Oxidizing solids Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
15 Organic peroxides Not applicable - - - - Containing no bivalent -O-O- structure in the molecule
16 Corrosive to metals Classification not possible - - - - No data available.

HEALTH HAZARDS

1 Acute toxicity (Oral) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Dermal) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Gases) Not applicable - - - - Solid
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Vapours) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
1 Acute toxicity (Inhalation: Dusts and mists) Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
2 Skin corrosion/irritation Classification not possible - - - - It is reported that the substance is irritating to human skin (HSFS (2000)). Since the information is limited to this report, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category due to insufficient test results available.
3 Serious eye damage/eye irritation Classification not possible - - - - It is reported that the substance is irritating to human eyes (HSFS (2000)). Since the information is limited to this report, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category due to insufficient test results available.
4 Respiratory sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - It is reported that the substance is associated with the development of granulomas caused by allergic reaction (HSFS (2000), HSDB (2006)). However, necessary test details are not provided in the report, making it inadequate for the evaluation of the substance as a skin sensitizer. Thus, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
6 Carcinogenicity Classification not possible - - - - Zirconium and zirconium compounds are classified into "A4" (ACGIH (1992)). However, it is not clear if this classification involved evaluation of zirconium picramate. Thus, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
7 Reproductive toxicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
8 Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure Category 3 (Respiratory tract irritation) Warning H335: May cause respiratory irritation (respiratory tract irritation) P304+P340: IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing.
P403+P233: Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.
P261: Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray.
P271: Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
P312: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ...
Based on the description regarding the establishment of TLV-TWA to minimize respiratory irritation caused by zirconium and zirconium compounds (ACGIH (2001)), the substance was classified into Category 3 (respiratory tract irritation).
9 Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure Classification not possible - - - - Long-term exposure to this substance may have effects on the lung (HSFS (2000)). However, this is the only relevant information available. Due to insufficient test results available, the substance was classified into the "Classification not possible" category.
10 Aspiration hazard Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
