Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical fire extinguisher. Do not use water or halogenated compounds, except the large
amounts of water may be used to deluge small quantities of hydrate.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Hydrate is not combustible or flammable. However, hydrate reacts vigorously with acids,
and may release heat sufficient to ignite combustible materials in specific instances. Hydrate is not considered to be an explosion
hazard, although reaction with acids or other incompatible materials may rupture containers.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Keep personnel away from and upwind of fire. Avoid skin contact or inhalation of dust. Wear
full fire-fighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear), and respiratory protection (SCBA).

HMIS Rating:
HEALTH 1
FIRE 0
PHYSICAL HAZARD 0
PPE X
(0 = Minimal, 1 = Slight, 2 = Moderate, 3 = Serious, 4 = Severe, * = Chronic Health Hazard)
Signs and Symptoms of Exposure
Acute Overexposure:
Inhalation:
Can cause irritation to the respiratory system.
Eye Contact:
Can cause irritation to the eyes.
Skin Contact:
Can cause irritation to the skin.
Ingestion:
Can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract.
Chronic Overexposure:
Inhalation:
This product can cause severe irritation of the respiratory system. Long-term exposure may cause permanent damage. Hydrate is
not listed by MSHA, OSHA or IARC as a carcinogen. However, this product may contain trace amounts of crystalline silica in the
form of quartz or crystobalite, which has been classified by IARC as a Group I carcinogen to humans when inhaled. Inhalation of
silica over a long period of time can also cause a chronic lung disorder and silicosis.
Eye Contact:
Contact can cause severe irritation or burning of eyes, including permanent damage.
Skin Contact:
Can cause irritation of skin.
Ingestion:
This product can cause irritation to the gastrointestinal tract if swallowed.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure
Contact may aggravate disorders of the eyes, skin, gastrointestinal tract and respiratory system.
Chemical/Component Listed as Carcinogen

Quartz: NTP IARC OSHA
YES YES YES
Other Exposure Limits

None
Emergency & First Aid Procedures for Indicated Routes of Entry
Inhalation: Move victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration.
Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with generous amounts of water or eye wash solution if water is unavailable. Pull back eyelid while
flushing to ensure that all lime dust has been washed out. Seek medical attention promptly if the initial flushing of the eyes does not
remove the irritant. Do not rub eyes.
Skin: Brush off or remove as much dry lime as possible. Wash exposed area with large amounts of water. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention promptly.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately. Never give anything by mouth unless instructed to do so
by medical personnel.
SECTION 6 – REACTIVITY DATA

Stability: Chemically stable, but slowly reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate. See also incompatibility below.
Conditions to Avoid: See Incompatibility
Incompatibility: Hydrate should not be mixed or stored with the following materials due to the potential for vigorous reaction and
release of heat: Acids (unless in a controlled process); organic acid anhydrides; reactive fluoridated compounds; nitro-organic
compounds; reactive brominated compounds; reactive phosphorous compounds; reactive powdered metals; interhalogenated
compounds.
Hazardous Polymerization: None
Hazardous Decomposition or Combustion Products: None
SECTION 7 – SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES

Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Leaked or Spilled:
Residual amounts of material can be flushed with large amounts of water. Equipment can be washed with either a mild vinegar
and water solution, or a detergent and water.
Waste Disposal Method:

Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local environmental regulations. If this product is supplied, and unmixed,
becomes a waste, if will not meet the criteria of a hazardous waste as defined under the U.S. Resource Conversation and
Recovery Act (40CFT 261).
SECTION 8 – PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

Respiratory Protection
NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators if airborne concentration exceeds PELs.
Ventilation
General or local exhaust to maintain exposure below TLV/PEL.
Protective Gloves
Cloth/leather gloves when handling dry product. Rubber gloves if wet or damp. Should lime get inside gloves, remove the gloves
and the lime promptly.
Eye Protection
Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with lime products.
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment

Use appropriate footwear to prevent skin contact. Clothing should fully cover arms and legs. Should lime get inside clothing,
remove the clothing and the lime promptly.

SECTION 9 – SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be Taken in Handling & Storing
Keep in tightly closed plastic or non-aluminum metal containers. Do not store or ship in aluminum containers. Protect containers
from physical damage. Avoid direct skin contact with the material. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location. Do not store
near acids or other incompatible materials. Keep away from moisture.
Other Precautions
DO NOT use water on bulk material spills. Use proper protective equipment.
Small Spills: Use dry methods to collect spilled materials. Avoid generating dusts. Do not clean-up with compressed air. Store
collected materials in dry, sealed plastic or non-aluminum metal containers. Residue on surfaces may be water washed.
Large Spills: Use dry methods to collect spilled materials. Evacuate area downwind of clean-up operations to minimize dust
exposure. Store spilled materials in dry, sealed plastic or non-aluminum metal containers.
Containment: Minimize dust generation and prevent bulk release to sewers or waterways.
