Portland Cement Based Concrete Products

Remove person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. In case of unconsciousness, place patient stably in side position for transportation.

Symptoms: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated inhalation. This product contains crystalline silica. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of respirable silica from this product can cause silicosis.

Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or a mild detergent. If significant skin irritation or rash occurs: get medical attention.

Symptoms: Skin burns and irritation may be caused by brief exposure, though often are caused by extended exposure of 15 minutes, an hour, or longer.

Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing.

Symptoms: Causes serious eye damage. Symptoms may include discomfort or pain, excess blinking and tear production, with marked redness and swelling of the conjunctiva.

Do not induce vomiting. If conscious, have the victim drink plenty of water and call a physician immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.

Symptoms: May be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may cause discomfort and/or distress, nausea or vomiting.

Treat for surrounding material

Wear personal protective equipment (See section VIII). Keep unprotected persons away.

Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.

Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace. DO NOT BREATHE DUST. In dusty environments, the use of an OSHA, MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator and tight fitting goggles is recommended. Wear appropriate PPE (See section 8). Do not mix with other chemical products, except as indicated by the manufacturer. Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing. Good housekeeping is important to prevent accumulation of dust.

Keep out of the reach of children. Keep container tightly closed and prevent exposure to humidity. Do not allow water to contact the product until time of use to preserve product utility.

Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.

Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures below recommended exposure limits.

Wear gloves of adequate length to offer appropriate skin protection from splashes. Nitrile, Butyl and PVC gloves have been found to offer adequate protection for incidental contact.

Wear approved eye protection (properly fitted dust- or splash-proof chemical safety glasses.

Wear a NIOSH approved respirator (mask) such as N95 in poorly ventilated areas, when used for extended periods, when use is frequent, or when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded. Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety professional, following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2).

Wear rubber boots when stepping in concrete. You cannot rely on pain to alert you to cement burns. Portland cement can cause dermatitis or sensitization.

Stable under normal storage conditions. Keep in dry storage.

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

No decomposition if used according to specifications.

Contact of silica with powerful oxidizing agents such as fluorine, chlorine trifluoride, manganese trioxide, or oxygen difluoride may cause fires

Silica will dissolve in Hydrofluoric Acid and produce a corrosive gas – silicon tetrafluoride.

The packaging and material may be land filled; however, material should be covered to minimize generation of airborne dust.
