FAQ

Thermal hazards
None.
General hygiene
considerations
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment separately from regular wash. Observe any medical surveillance requirements.

10. Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
The product is stable and non-reactive under normal conditions of use, storage and transport.
Chemical stability
Material is stable under normal conditions.
Possibility of hazardous
reactions
Hazardous polymerization does not occur.
Conditions to avoid
When mixed with water this product can become very hot. Encasing or making moulds of any body
part can cause serious burns that may require surgical removal of affected tissue and even
amputation of encased body part.
Incompatible materials
Acids. Exposure to water and acids must be supervised because the reactions are vigorous and
produce large amounts of heat. Crystalline silica in contact with powerful oxidizing agents, such as
fluorine, chlorine trifluoride and oxygen difluoride, may cause fires. Crystalline silica will dissolve in
hydrofluoric acid and produce a corrosive gas, silicon tetrafluoride.
Hazardous decomposition
products
Calcium oxides. Sulfur oxides. Above 1472°F (800°C) limestone (CaCO3) can decompose to lime
(CaO) and release carbon dioxide (CO2).
