Anchor Cement is a cementitious powder blend. When

may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose,

throat and upper respiratory system or may cause or may

aggravate certain lung diseases or conditions. Use exposure

controls or personal protection methods described in Section 12.

EYES:

Immediately flush eye thoroughly with water. Continue flushing

eye for at least 15 minutes, including under lids, to remove all

particles. Call physician immediately.

SKIN:

Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or a mild

detergent. Seek medical treatment if irritation or inflammation

develops or persists. Seek immediate medical treatment in the

event of burns.

INHALATION:

Remove person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer

oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Seek medical

help if coughing and other symptoms do not subside. Inhalation

of large amounts of Anchor Cement require immediate medical

attention.
