FIRST AID MEASURES Eye If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Page 1 of 5

2 Inhalation Skin Ingestion Advice to doctor Due to product form / nature of use, an inhalation hazard is not anticipated. If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor. For advice, contact a Poison Information Centre on (Australia Wide) or a doctor (at once). If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammability Fire and explosion Extinguishing Hazchem code Non flammable. May evolve toxic gases if strongly heated. No fire or explosion hazard exists. Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods of cleaning up References Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as detailed in Section 8 of this SDS. Prevent product from entering drains and waterways. Contain spillage, then cover/absorb spill with non-combustible absorbent material (vermiculite, sand, or similar), collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. See Sections 8 and 13 for exposure controls and disposal. 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING Storage Handling Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from moisture, incompatible substances and foodstuffs. Ensure packages are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure standards Ingredient Reference TWA STEL ppm mg/m³ ppm mg/m³ Portland Cement SWA (AUS) Quartz (respirable dust) SWA (AUS) Vinyl acetate SWA (AUS) Biological limits Engineering controls No biological limit allocated. Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. Maintain dust levels below the recommended exposure standard. PPE Eye / Face Hands Body Respiratory Wear safety glasses. Wear PVC or rubber gloves. When using large quantities or where heavy contamination is likely, wear coveralls and rubber boots. Not required under normal conditions of use. Page 2 of 5

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical stability Conditions to avoid Material to avoid Hazardous Decomposition Products Hazardous Reactions Stable under recommended conditions of storage. Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. Incompatible with oxidising agents (eg. hypochlorites), ethanol, interhalogens (eg. chlorine trifluoride) and acids. May evolve toxic gases if heated to decomposition. Polymerization is not expected to occur. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Health Hazard Summary Eye Inhalation Skin Ingestion Slightly corrosive - irritant. This product has the potential to cause adverse health effects with over exposure. Use safe work practices to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. In the wet state, this product does not present an inhalation hazard. Crystalline silica may result in silicosis (lung disease) with chronic over exposure. Crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium compounds are classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). Corrosive. Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain, redness, corneal burns and possible permanent damage. Slightly corrosive - irritant. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, coughing and bronchitis. Hexavalent chromium is reported to cause respiratory sensitisation, however due to the trace amount present, a hazard is not anticipated under normal conditions of use. Chronic exposure to respirable silica may result in pulmonary fibrosis (silicosis). Crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium compounds are classified as carcinogenic to humans (IARC Group 1). Slightly corrosive. Contact with powder or wetted form may result in rash and dermatitis. Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to cement, possibly due to trace amounts of chromium. Slightly corrosive. Ingestion may result in burns to the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. Ingestion is considered unlikely due to product form. Toxicity data QUARTZ (SILICA CRYSTALLINE) ( ) LCLo (inhalation) 300 ug/m³/10 years (human) TCLo (inhalation) particles/ft3/8 hours/17.9 years (human-fibrosis) 12.

DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Waste disposal Legislation No special precautions are required for the disposal of this product. Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation. 14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION NOT CLASSIFIED AS A DANGEROUS GOOD BY THE CRITERIA OF THE ADG CODE, IMDG OR IATA LAND TRANSPORT (ADG) SEA TRANSPORT (IMDG / IMO) AIR TRANSPORT (IATA / ICAO) UN Number Proper Shipping Name Transport Hazard Class Packing Group Environmental hazards Special precautions for user No information provided Hazchem code 15. REGULATORY INFORMATION Poison schedule Inventory Listing(s) A poison schedule number has not been allocated to this product using the criteria in the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP). AUSTRALIA: AICS (Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances) All components are listed on AICS, or are exempt. 16. OTHER INFORMATION Additional information 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. CEMENT CONTACT DERMATITIS 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 blistering skin with the potential for sensitisation. The dermatitis is due to the presence of soluble (hexavalent) chromium. 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.
