IDENTIFICATION OF THE SUBSTANCE AND COMPANY3. HAZARD CLASSIFICATION2. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTSIngredientCalcium Hydroxide% by Weight C.A.S. No.:SLD - 22 REV.2 Page 1 of 3 HYDRATED LIME IN SLURRY FORMProduct Name:» Skin: Remove contaminated clothes and rinse area with plenty of water.» Ingestion: Drink water followed by diluted vinegar) 1 part vinegar in 2 parts water) or fruit juice to neutralize. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention immediately. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES» Classified as a non-flammable product.» Once water is evolved off, remaining Calcium Hydroxide will decompose itself into Calcium Oxide at 580º C.Calcium Oxide is non-flammable, but will generate heat in presence of water or acids.» Safety measures in case of fire: avoid wetting if Calcium Oxide is formed, use appropriate extingushing media to put out a surronding fire.6. ACCIDENT PREVENTION MEASURESIndividual and collective precautions: Avoid contact with skin and eyes; wear waterproof shoes, gloves and safety goggles. Cover body with long sleeved shirt and long pants.Avoid inhalation of dust: Wear approved respirator if dried product is present.Cleaning methods (Leaks & Spills) Contain large quantities with suitable material and neutralize with acid. Precautions for the Protection of the The substance may not be spilled without control into surface watersEnvironment: (increases pH).Waste Disposal: Dispose in secure landfill or according to federal, provicial/state and local envirionmental regulations.7. HANDLING AND STORAGEHandling: Slurry will be extremely hot (~ 90º C) when first produced. Avoid splashing. Avoid skin and eye contact.Storage: In leakproof vessels. Keep away from acids and incompatible substance. Keep out of reach of children. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTIONTechnical Values: Occupational exposure standard = Not ApplicableRespiratory Protection: Not ApplicableEye Protection: Use safety goggles.Hand Protection: Use waterproof gloves.Skin Protection: Cover body with suitable clothes ( long sleeve shirts and trousers, waterproofcaustic resistent shoes).9.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITYSLD - 22 REV.2 Page 2 of 3 HYDRATED LIME IN SLURRY FORMProduct Name:» Stability: Will evolve water over time and become Calcium Hydroxide.» Decomposition temperature: 100º C.» Reactivity: Reacts with acids.» Conditions to avoid: Vicinity to incompatable materials» Incompatable materials: Acids; reactive fluoridated, brominated or phosphorous compounds;reactive powdered metals; organic acid anydrides; nitro-organic compounds; interhalogenated compounds.» Hazardous decomposition products; None11. TOXILOGICAL INFORMATIONToxicity: Non-toxic substance.Exposure Limits: TWAEV = 5 mg/ M3Other: No reported Carcinogenicity, Reproductive Effects, Teratogenicity or Mutagenicity12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION» Alkaline substance that increases pH to 12.5» Slurry will overtime evolve water to form Calcium Hydoxide which shall progressively be rendered soluable and shall recarbonate to form Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3).» Calcium Carbonate is ecologically neutral.» Uncontrolled spillage in surface waters should be avoided since the increase in pH could be detrimentalto fish.13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS» Dispose in secure landfill or according to federal, provincial /state and local environmental regulations.14.
