Additional information

Skin contact with wet cement, concrete or mortar may cause irritation, dermatitis or burns. It can cause damage to products made of aluminum or other base metals 2.3 Other dangers The cement, when used together with water, for example in concrete or mortar fabrication, or when wet , produces a highly alkaline solution ( a very high pH due to the formation of calcium, sodium and potassium hydroxide). Frequent inhalation of the cement for a long period of time increases the risk of pulmonary diseases. The repeated and prolonged contact of the cement with the damp skin, due to perspiration or humidity, can cause irritation and/or dermatitis (Bibliography [4]). In case of significant ingestion, the cement can cause ulceration in the digestive apparatus Both the cement and its mixtures, in the case of prolonged contact with the skin , can cause a sensitization of the skin ( due to the presence of VI chrome salt traces . When necessary , this effect can be reduced by adding a specific reducing agent in order to keep the water-soluble VI chrome percentage at concentration levels lower than 0,0002 % (2 ppm ) of the cement total dry weight, in compliance with the regulation mentioned in point 15 The PBT or vPvB criteria do not apply to cement, according to ATTACHMENT XIII of REACH (Regulation 1907/2006/CE). 3.
