Ingestion For advice, contact a Poison Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia Wide) or a doctor (at once). If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. First aid facilities Eye wash facilities and safety shower should be available 4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed Irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Chronic over exposure to silica quartz dust may result in silicosis (lung disease). Principal symptoms of silicosis are coughing and breathlessness. Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to this product, possibly due to the trace amounts of chromium present. Crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium compounds are classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). 4.3 Immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Treat symptomatically. 5.1 Extinguishing media Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Non-flammable. May evolve toxic gases if strongly heated. 5.3 Advice for firefighters No fire or explosion hazard exists. 5.4 Hazchem code None allocated. 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as detailed in section 8 of the SDS.

Further information

Density 1700 kg/m3 to 1900 kg/m3 10.1 Reactivity Carefully review all information provided in sections 10.2 to 10.6 10.2: Chemical stability Stable under recommended storage conditions 10.3: Possibility of hazardous reactions Hazardous polymerisation is not expected to occur. 10.4: Conditions to avoid Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources 10.5: Incompatible materials Incompatible with oxidising agents (e.g. hypochlorites), ethanol, acids (e.g. hydrofluoric acid) and interhalogens (e.g. chlorine trifluoride). Water contact may increase product temperature by 2oC to 3oC 10.6: Hazardous decomposition products May evolve toxic gases if heated to decomposition 11.1 Information on toxicological effects Acute toxicity Information available on this product: No known toxicity data is available for this product. Based on the available data, the classification criteria are not met Information available on the ingredients: Ingredient Oral Toxicity Dermal Toxicity Inhalation (LD50) Toxicity (LC50) CALCIUM HYDROXIDE 7300 mg/kg (mouse) - Skin Irritating to the skin. Contact with powder or wetted form may result in irritation, rash and dermatitis. Eye Irritating to the eyes. Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain, redness, corneal burns, and possible permanent damage. Sensitization This product is not classified as a skin or respiratory sensitiser. However, some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to cement, possibly due to trace amounts of chromium. Mutagenicity Insufficient data available to classify as a mutagen. Carcinogenicity This product contains crystalline silica and trace amounts of hexavalent chromium compounds which are classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). However, there is sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer from exposure to crystalline silica is increased in persons with silicosis. Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer risk. Reproductive Insufficient data to classify as a reproductive toxin. STOT – single Irritating to the respiratory system. Over exposure may result in exposure irritation of the nose and throat, with coughing. High level exposure may result in breathing difficulties. STOT – repeated Repeated exposure to respirable silica may result in pulmonary exposure fibrosis (silicosis). Silicosis is a fibronodular lung disease caused by disposition in the lungs of fine respirable particles of crystalline silica. Principle symptoms of silicosis are coughing and breathlessness. In the wet state, the likelihood of an inhalation hazard is reduced. Aspiration This product is a solid and aspiration hazards are not expected to occur. 12.1 Toxicity May be harmful to the aquatic environment due to the alkaline nature of the product. This product is non-toxic to aquatic organisms when present in the cured solid. 12.2 Persistence and degradability Product is persistent and would have low degradability. 12.3 Bioaccumulative potential No data were identified for this substance 12.4 Mobility in soil A low mobility would be expected in a landfill situation 12.5 Other adverse effects Avoid release to drains and waterways 12.1 Waste treatment methods Waste Disposal Reuse or recycle where possible. Alternatively, ensure product is covered with moist soil to prevent dust generation and dispose of to an approved landfill site.

The classifications and phrases listed below are based on the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC:1008(2004)]. Hazard codes Xi Irritant Xn Harmful Risk phrases R36/37/38 Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin R48/20 Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by exposure through inhalation Safety phrases S22 Do not breathe dust S24/25 Avoid contact with skn and eyes S36/37 Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves Inventory listing(s) AUSTRALIA: AICS (Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances) All components are listed on AICS, or are exempt. Additional Information CEMENT CONTACT DERMITITIS: Individuals using wet cement, mortar, grout or concrete could be at risk of developing cement dermatitis. Symptoms of exposure include itchy, tender, swollen, hot, cracked or blistered skin with the potential for sensitisation. The dermatitis is due to the presence of soluble (hexavalent) chromium. RESPIRATORS: In general, the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn, ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES: The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made. HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE: It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a ChemAlert report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
