Personal protection Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in
discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment. This product may present a
chromate (VI) allergy risk. It contains a chromate reducing agent, but users should wear
appropriate personal protective equipment.

Eye/face protection The following protection should be worn: Chemical splash goggles. (conform EN 166)

Hand protection Use impervious, abrasion and alkali resistant gloves. Barrier cream applied before work may
make it easier to clean the skin after exposure, but does not prevent absorption through the
skin.

Other skin and body Use barrier creams to prevent skin contact. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or
protection prolonged skin contact.

Hygiene measures This product contains silica sands.

The grain size distribution of silica sand present means that it is not classified as hazardous.
However, any respirable crystalline dust generated by secondary processing may may cause
health effects.
Prolonged and /or massive inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust may cause lung
fibrosis, commonly referred to as silicosis. Principal symptoms of silicosis are cough and
breathlessness.
Occupational exposure to respirable crystalline silica dust should be monitored and controlled

Respiratory protection Wear a respirator fitted with the following cartridge: Particulate filter, type P2.

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

11.1. Information on toxicological effects

Skin sensitisation
Skin sensitisation Some individuals may exhibit eczema upon exposure to wet cement caused either by the high
pH which induces irritant contact dermatitis, or by an immunological reaction to soluble Cr (VI)
which elicits allergic contact dermatitis. The cement contains a soluble Cr (VI) reducing agent
and as long as the mentioned period of effectiveness is not exceeded, a sensitising effect is
not expected.
