8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION CONT’D
Specific Engineering Controls: Use general or local exhaust ventilation to keep dust levels below exposure limits. If
exceed the limits, use a properly fitted and NIOSH approved respirator.
Personal Protective Equipment:
• Gloves: Chemical resistant rubber or nitrile gloves
• Respirator: NIOSH approved with particulates filter or cartridge
• Eye: Safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
• Footwear: Waterproof
• Clothing: Long sleeve and long pants to avoid skin contact
• Other: Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical Stability: Stable
Conditions to Avoid (Stability): Unintended contact with water or moisture, which produces caustic solutions, pH 12-14.
Incompatibility with Other Substances: React with acids, ammonium salts, fluorine, lithium and aluminum, which may
liberate Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide or Hydrogen.
Hazardous Polymerization: Cannot occur
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: No additional remark
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Will not spontaneously occur. Adding water produces caustic calcium hydroxide.
Other Precautions: When mix with water, the mixture is caustic with pH12-14 and it can get hot.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Routes of Entry: Skin Contact, Eye Contact, Inhalation and Ingestion
Effects of Acute Exposure to Product:
• May cause eyes, skin and respiratory irritation, inflammation or severe chemical burns if direct contacted by large
amount of product.
• May cause skin thickening, cracking or fissuring if contacted to wet product or dry product with wet skin.
• May cause coughing, sneezing and shortness of breath if exposed in excess of occupational exposure limits.
Effects of Chronic Exposure to Product:
• Multiple skin exposure over weeks or months leading to eczema or dermatitis. Content of sensitizing Cr(VI) is
below 0.002% according to regulation.
• Exposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis and serious lung disease.
• Sensitivity reactions may occur from prolonged and repeated exposure
