Section 10: Stability and Reactivity
Reactivity: Reacts with water forming heat and calcium hydroxide.
Chemical Stability: Stable at normal temperatures and pressure.
Possibility of Hazardous Reactions: None. Hazardous polymerization will not occur.
Conditions to Avoid: Moisture or wetting will cause exothermic heating as product
cures.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong acids, oxidizers, aluminum and
aluminum salts.
Hazardous Decomposition: Reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide which can
irritate/damage skin. Cement dissolves in hydrofluoric acid, producing corrosive silicon
tetrafluoride gas.
