White Portland cement Type I-II

Remove exposed person to fresh air and support breathing as needed. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician immediately if irritation persists. Inhalation of large amounts of Portland cement requires immediate medical attention.

Symptoms: Irritation to the moist mucous, membranes of the nose, throat and upper respiratory system, and may cause certain lung disease.

Immediately wash affected areas with neutral soap and clean, cool water for at least 15 minutes. For reddened or blistered skin, consult a physician immediately.

Symptoms: When in contact with moisture on skin, Portland cement becomes highly caustic and will damage or burn the skin.

Immediately thoroughly flush eyes with clean water. Continue flushing eyes for at least 15 minutes, including under lids to remove all particles. Consult a physician immediately. Remove contact lenses.

Symptoms: When in contact with moisture in eyes, Portland cement becomes highly caustic and will damage or burn the eyes.

If the material is ingested, have the conscious person drink plenty of water or milk. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Consult a physician immediately.

Symptoms: May cause burns to mouth, throat and stomach. Adverse symptoms may include the following: stomach pains

Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.

Do not use water jet or water-based fire extinguishers.

No specific fire or explosion hazard.

Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

Use dry clean-up methods that do not disperse dust into the air or entry into surface water. Place in an appropriate container for disposal or use. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Scrape up wet material and place in an appropriate container. Allow the material to “dry” before disposal.

do not disperse dust into the air or entry into surface water.

Use dry clean-up methods that do not disperse dust into the air. Scrape up wet material and place in an appropriate container.

Keep dry until used. Handle and store in a manner so that airborne dust does not exceed applicable exposure limits. Use exposure control and personal protection methods as described in Section 8. Keep out of reach of children.

Use adequate ventilation to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust, fume, vapor, etc.) below recommended exposure limits.

Wear suitable gloves

Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles to avoid contact with the eyes. In extremely dusty environments and unpredictable environments, wear tight-fitting unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye irritation or injury. Contact lenses should not be worn when handling cement or cement containing products.

A NIOSH approved dust mas or filtering face piece is recommended in poorly ventilated areas or when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded. Respirators should be selected 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 impervious abrasion- and alkali-resistant gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt, long pants or other protective clothing to prevent skin contact. Promptly remove clothing dusty with dry Portland cement or clothing dampened with moisture mixed with Portland cement, and launder before re-use. If contact occurs, wash areas contacted by material with pH neutral soap and water.

Maintain levels below Community environmental protection thresholds.

Product is stable.

No dangerous reactions known under normal use. Reacts slowly with water forming hydrate compounds, releasing heat and producing a strong alkali solution until the reactions is substantially complete.

No dangerous reactions known under normal use. Do not mix with or expose to other chemicals.
