(Contains crystalline silica) Use proper engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment to prevent exposure to wet or dry product. Read MSDS 'or details. Emergency Unhardened concrete is an odorless semi-fluid,flowable, granular paste of varying color Overview: and texture. It is not combustible or explosive. Exposure of sufficient duration to wet concrete can cause serious, potentially irreversible tissue(skin, eye, respiratory tract) damage due to chemical(caustic)bums, including third degree bums. Potential Health Effects: Eye Contact Concrete may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Eye contact with (acute): wet concrete can cause moderate eye irritation, chemical bums and blindness. Eye exposures require immediate first ad and medical attention to prevent significant damage to the eye. Direct contact can cause irritation before mechanical abrasion. Skin contact Wet unhardened concrete and concrete dust may cause dry skin, discomfort, irritation, (acute): severe bums, and dermatitis. Burns: Exposure of sufficient duration to wet unhardened concrete can cause serious, potential irreversible damage to skin, eye, respiratory and digestive tracts due to chemical (caustic)bums, including third degree bums. A skin exposure may be hazardous even if there is no pain or discomfort. Dermatitis: Wet unhardened concrete is capable of causing dermatitis by irritation and allergy. Skin affected by dermatitis may include symptoms such as redness, itching, rash, scaling, and cracking. Sensitization: Allergic contact dermatitis is caused by sensitization to hexavalent chromium(chromate) present in concrete. The reaction can range from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Persons already sensitized may react to the first contact with wet unhardened concrete. Others may develop allergic dermatitis after years of repeated contact with wet concrete. Ingestion: Expected to be practically non-toxic. Ingestion of large amounts may cause gastrointestinal irritation and blockage. Inhalation May result, depending on the degree of the exposure, from exposure to dust generated (general): from cutting, grinding, crushing, or driving hardened concrete. Inhalation (acute): Breathing dust may cause nose, throat lung or mucous membrane irritation, including choking. Inhalation of high levels of dist can cause chemical burns to the nose, throat and lungs. Inhalation Risk of injury depends on duration and level of exposure. (chronic): Silicosis: This product contains crystalline silica. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica from this product can cause silicosis, and other seriously disabling and fatal diseases. Carcinogenicity: Concrete is not listed as a carcinogen by IARC or NTP; however, concrete contains trace amounts of crystalline silica and hexavalent chromium which are classified by IARC and NTP as known human carcinogens. Autoimmune Some studies show that exposure to respirable crystalline silica(without silicosis)or that Disease: the disease silicosis may be associated with the increased incidence of several autoimmune disorders such as scleroderma(thickening of skin), systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and diseases affecting the kidneys. Medical conditions Individuals with lung disease(e.g. bronchitis, emphysema, COPD, pulmonary disease) Aggravated by can be aggravated by exposure to concrete dust. Exposure: Concrete MSDS-Chandler-0608.doc 2 of 5 Revision 6/10/08 Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, including under lids, to remove all particles.

For example,these products may contain up to 25%of insoluble residue, some of which may be crystalline silica. Other trace components may include potassium and sodium sulfate compounds, chromium compounds, and nickel compounds. SECTION III-HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION 10. Emergency Overview Type-K Cement is a light gray powder that poses little immediate hazard. A single short-term exposure to the dry powder is not likely to cause serious harm. However, exposure of sufficient duration to wet Type-K Cement can cause serious, potentially irreversible,tissue (skin or eye) destruction in the form of chemical (caustic) burns, including third-degree burns. The same type of tissue destruction can occur if wet or moist areas of the body are exposed for sufficient:duration to dry Type-K Cement. 11. Potential Health Effects Relevant Routes of Exposure — Eye contact,skin contact, inhalation,and ingestion. . Effects Resulting from Eye Contact: Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Eye contact by larger amounts of dry powder or splashes of wet Type-K Cement may cause effects ranging from moderate eye irritation to chemical burns and blindness. Such exposures required immediate first-aid and medical attention to prevent significant damage to the eye. . Effects Resulting from Skin Contact: Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to alert a person to a hazardous skin exposure. Consequently,the only effective means of avoiding skin injury or illness involves minimizing skin contact, particularly contact with wet cement. . Exposed persons may not feel discomfort until hours after the exposure has ended and significant exposure to dry Type-K Cement may cause drying of the skin with consequent mild irritation or more significant effects attributable to aggravation of other conditions. Dry Type-K Cement contacting wet skin or exposure to moist or wet Type-K Cement may cause more severe skin effects including thickening, cracking or fissuring of the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause severe skin damage in the form of(caustic)chemical burns. . Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to Type-K Cement, possibly due to trace amounts of chromium. The response may appear in a variety of forms, ranging from mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Persons already sensitized may react to their first contact with the product. Other persons may first experience this effect after years of contact with Type-K Cement products. . Effects Resulting from Inhalation: Type-K Cement may contain trace amounts of free crystalline silica. Prolonged exposure to respirable-free crystalline silica may aggravate other lung conditions. It also may cause delayed lung injury, including silicosis, a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease, and/or other diseases. (Also see"Carcinogenic Potential"below.) . Exposure to Type-K Cement may cause irritation tc the moist membranes of the nose,throat, and upper respiratory system. It may also leave unpleasant deposits in the nose. . Effects Resulting from Ingestion: Although small quantities of dust are not known to be harmful, ill effects are possible if larger quantities are consumed.Type-K Cement should not be eaten.Type-K Cement is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. It may however, contain trace amounts of substances listed as carcinogens by these organizations. Crystalline silica,a potential trace level contaminant in Type-K Cement, is not listed as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research for Cancer(IARC), the National Toxicology Program (NTP), or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). IARC has designated crystalline silica as carcinogenic to humans(Group 1).The NTP indicates that crystalline silica is reasonably anticipated to be a carcinogen (Group 2). 12. Medical conditions which may be aggravated by inhalation or dermal exposure: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases. Unusual (hyper) sensitivity to hexavalent chromium (chromium +6) salts. SECTION IV-FIRST-AID 13. Eyes: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water. Continue flushing eye for at least 15 minutes, including under lids,to remove all particles. Call physician immediately. 14. Skin: Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or a mild detergent intended for use on skin. Seek medical treatment in all cases of prolonged exposure to wet cement, cement mixtures, liquids from fresh cement products,or prolonged wet skin exposure to dry cement. 15. Inhalation of Airborne Dust: Remove to fresh air. See medical help if coughing and other symptoms Do NOT subside. ('Inhalation"of gross amounts of Type-K Cement requires immediate medical attention.) 16. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious, have the victim drink plenty of water and call a physician immediately. SECTION V-FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA 17. Flash Point{provide method used} None 18. Lower Explosive Limit .None 19. Upper Explosive Limit None 20. Auto Ignition Temperature Not Combustible 21. Extinguishing Media Not Combustible 22. Special Fire-Fighting Procedures None (although Type-K Cement poses no fire-related http://rapidset.com/TypeK MSDS.asp 2/6/2012 CTS Cement I Rapid Set®—Type-K MSDS Page 3 of 3 hazards, a self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended to limit exposure to combustion products when fighting any fires.) SECTION VI—ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 23. Collect dry material using a scoop.Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne.Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as described in Section 8. 24. Scrape up wet material and place in an appropriate container. Allow the material to"dry"before disposal. Do NOT attempt to wash Type-K Cement down drains. 25. Dispose of waste material according to local, state, and federal regulations. SECTION VII—HANDLING AND STORAGE 26. Keep Type-K Cement dry until used. Normal temperatures and pressures Do NOT affect the material. 27. Promptly remove dusty clothing or clothing which is wet with cement fluids and launder before reuse. 28. Wash thoroughly after exposure to dust or wet cement mixtures or fluids. SECTION VIII—EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION 29. Skin Protection Prevention is essential to avoiding potentially severe skin injury. Avoid contact with unhardened(wet) Type-K Cement products. If contact occurs, promptly wash affected area with soap and water. Where prolonged exposure to unhardened Type-K Cement products might occur,wear impervious clothing and gloves to eliminate skin contact. . Where required, wear boots that are impervious tc water to eliminate foot and ankle exposure. . Do NOT rely on barrier creams; barrier creams should not be used in place of gloves. . Periodically wash areas contacted by dry Type-K Cement or by wet cement or concrete fluids with a pH-neutral soap. Wash again at the end of the work. If irritation occurs, immediately wash the affected area and seek treatment. If clothing becomes saturated with wet concrete, it should be removed and replaced with clean dry clothing. 30. Respiratory Protection Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Use ocal or general ventilation to control exposures below applicable exposure limits. Use NIOSH/MSHA-approved (under 42 CFR 84) respirators in poorly ventilated areas, if an applicable exposure limit is exceeded, or when dust causes discomfort or irritation. (Advisory: Respirators and filters purchased after July 10, 1998, must be certified under 42 CFR 84.) http://rapidset.com/TypeK MSDS.asp 2/6/2012 Lehigh Cement Company MSDS Page 1 of 1 MSDS Thank you for your interest in the Lehigh Cement Company.Our customers with existing online accounts may access documents like our MSDS and mill reports by logging in to their accounts.To access our e-business site,please click"Customer Log In"from the left navigation menu.

Manufacturers' recommendations: Keep exposure to dust as low as practicable. If inspirable dust levels are kept below 5 mg/m3, health problems such as skin, eye and respiratory irritation will be minimised. Engineering controls: Avoid generating dust. All work with hydrated lime should be carried out in such a way as to minimise exposure to dust and repeated skin contact. Where dust could be generated whilst handling hydrated lime, use local mechanical ventilation or extraction in areas where dust could escape into the work environment. For bulk deliveries, closed pumping systems are recommended. For bagged deliveries follow personal protection instructions below if no local exhaust ventilation is available. Work areas should be cleaned regularly by vacuuming. If generating dust cannot be avoided, see personal protection recommendations below. Personal protection: Skin: Wear loose comfortable protective clothing and impervious boots. Apply barrier cream to hands or wear gloves(AS 2161). Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash work clothes regularly. Eyes: Tight fitting dust goggles are advised to be worn. Respiratory: If dust is generated wear a class P1 or P2 particulate respirator (AS/NZS 1715 & 1716). Use only respirators that bear the Australian Standards mark and are fitted correctly. Note that persons with facial hair will have difficulty in obtaining a satisfactory face seal. For alternatives see AS/NZS 1715: Selection and use of respiratory protective devices. Flammability: Hydrated Lime is not flammable. Page: 3 of 4 pages Date of Issue: 04/04/05 SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION Storage and transport: Hydrated Lime should be stored in a cool protected place, away from strong oxidants or acids.Transportation is usually in bulk rail or road tankers or in 500 and 1000 kg bulker bags or in paper sacks. Spills and disposal: Spills may be cleaned up by any dry method such as broom and shovel or vacuum device, by suitably attired personnel. Residual material may be washed into a drain with sufficient water, preferably recycled. Fire/explosion hazard: Non-combustible. Other Information: Hydrated Lime is non-combustible.

Condition to Avoid: Keep dry until used to preserve product utility. SECTION VI-HEALTH HAZARD DATA Route(s)of Entry: Inhalation? Yes Skin? Yes Ingestion? Yes Acute Exposure: Product becomes alkaline when exposed to moisture. Exposure can dry the skin, cause alkali burns and effect the mucous membranes. Dust can irritate the eyes and upper respiratory system. Toxic effects noted in animals include,for acute exposures, alveolar damage with pulmonary edema. Chronic Exposure: Dust can cause inflammation of the lining tissue of the interior of the nose and inflammation of the cornea. Hypersensitive individuals may develop an allergic dermatitis. Respirable crystalline silica (quartz) can cause silicosis, a fibrosis(scarring)of the lungs and possibly cancer. There is evidence that exposure to respirable silica or the disease silicosis is associated with an increased incidence of Scleroderma,tuberculosis and kidney disorders. Carcinogenicity Listings: NTP: Known carcinogen OSHA: Not listed as a carcinogen IARC Monographs: Group 1 Carcinogen California Proposition 65: Known carcinogen NTP: The National Toxicology Program, in its"Ninth Report on Carcinogens" (released May 15, 2000) concluded that "Respirable crystalline silica(RCS),primarily quartz dusts occurring in industrial and occupational settings, is known to be a human carcinogen, based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity from studies in humans indicating a causal relationship between exposure to RCS and increased lung cancer rates in workers exposed to crystalline silica dust (reviewed in IAC, 1997; Brown et al., 1997; Hind et al., 1997) QUIKRETE®MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET page#3 QUIKRETE®DRY PACKAGED PORTLAND CEMENT BASED PRODUCTS (SERIES 1) MSDS J IARC: The International Agency for Research on Cancer ("IARC") concluded that there was "sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of crystalline silica in the forms of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources", and that there is "sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of quartz or cristobalite." The overall IARC evaluation was that "crystalline silica inhaled in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group 1)." The IARC evaluation noted that"carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstances or studies. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs." For further information on the IARC evaluation, see IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of carcinogenic Risks to Humans, Volume 68, "Silica, Some Silicates..." (1997) Signs and Symptoms of Exposure: Symptoms of excessive exposure to the dust include shortness of breath and reduced pulmonary function. Excessive exposure to skin and eyes especially when mixed with water can cause caustic burns as severe as third degree. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: Individuals with sensitive skin and with pulmonary and/or respiratory disease, including, but not limited to, asthma and bronchitis, or subject to eye irritation, should be precluded from exposure. Emergency First Aid Procedures: Eyes: Immediately flush eye thoroughly with water. Continue flushing eye for at least 15 minutes, including under lids, to remove all particles. Call physician immediately. Skin:Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or a mild detergent. Seek medical treatment if irritation or inflammation develops or persists. Seek immediate medical treatment in the event of burns. Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. If breathing is difficult,administer oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Seek medical help if coughing and other symptoms do not subside. Inhalation of large amounts of portland cement require immediate medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If conscious,have the victim drink plenty of water and call a physician immediately. SECTION VII-PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE Spills: If spilled, use dustless methods (vacuum) and place into covered container for disposal or use if not contaminated or wet. Use adequate ventilation. Waste Disposal Method: The packaging and material may be land filled; however, material should be covered to minimize generation of airborne dust. This product is not classified as a hazardous waste under RCRA or CERCLA. SECTION VIII-CONTROL MEASURES Inhalation: DO NOT BREATHE DUST. In dusty environments, the use of an OSHA, MSHA or NIOSH approved respirator is recommended. Local exhaust can be used, if necessary,to control airborne dust levels. Eyes: Wear tight fitting goggles. Skin: The use of barrier creams or impervious gloves, boots and clothing to protect the skin from contact is recommended. Following work, workers should shower with soap and water. Precautions must be observed because burns occur with little warning--little heat is sensed.

Trace constituents may include up to 0.75% insoluble residue, some of which may be free crystalline silica, calcium oxide (Also known as lime or quick lime), magnesium oxide,potassium sulfate,sodium sulfate,chromium compounds,and nickel compounds. Section 3-HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview Portland cement is a light gray powder that poses little immediate hazard. A single short-term exposure to the dry powder is not likely to cause serious harm. However,exposure of sufficient duration to wet portland cement can cause serious,potentially irreversible tissue(skin or eye)destruction in the form of chemical(caustic)bums. The same type of tissue destruction can occur if wet or moist areas of the body are exposed for sufficient duration to dry portland cement. Potential Health Effects Relevant Routes of Exposure: Eye contact,skin contact,inhalation,and ingestion. Effects Resulting from Eve Contact: Exposure to airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Eye contact by large amounts of dry powder or splashes of wet portland cement may cause effects ranging from moderate eye irritation to chemical burns or blindness. Such exposures require immediate first aid(see Section 4)end medical attention to prevent significant damage to the eye. Effects Resulting from Skin Contact: Discomfort or pain cannot be relied upon to alert a person to hazardous skin exposure. Consequently,the only effective means of avoiding skin injury or illness involves minimizing skin contact,particularly with wet cement. Exposed persons may not feel discomfort until hours after the exposure has ended and significant injury has occurred. Dry portland cement contacting wet skin or exposure to moist or wet portland cement may cause more severe skin effects including thickening,cracking or fissuring of the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause severe skin damage in the form of(alkali) chemical burns. Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to portland cement,possibly due to trace elements of chromium. The response may appear in a variety of forms ranging from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Persons already sensitized may react to their first contact with the product. Other persons may first experience this effect after years of contact with portland cement products. Effects Resulting from Inhalation: Portland cement may contain trace amounts of free crystalline silica. Prolonged exposure to respirable free silica can aggravate other lung conditions and cause silicosis,a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease. Exposure to portland cement may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose,throat, and upper respiratory system. It may also leave unpleasant deposits in the nose. Effects Resulting from Ingestion: Although small quantities of dust are not known to be harmful,ill effects are possible if larger quantities are consumed. Portland cement should not be eaten. Carcinogenic potential: Portland cement is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP,OSHA,or IARC. It may however,contain trace amounts of substances listed as carcinogens by these organizations. Crystalline silica,a potential trace level contaminate in Portland cement,is now classified by IARC as known human carcinogen (Group I). NTP has characterized respirable silica as"reasonably anticipated to be[a]carcinogen". Medical conditions which may be aggravated be,inhalation or dermal exposure: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases. Unusual(hyper)sensitivity to hexavalent chromium(chromium)salts. Section 4-FIRST AID Eves Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water. Continue flushing eye for at least 15 minutes,including under lids,to remove all particles. Call physician immediately. Skin Wash skin with cool water and pH-neutral soap or a mild detergent. Seek medical treatment in all cases of prolonged exposure to wet cement,cement mixtures,liquids from fresh cement products,or prolonged wet skin exposure to dry cement. Inhalation of Airborne Dust Remove to fresh air. Seek medical help if coughing and other symptoms do not subside. Ingestion Do not induce vomiting. If conscious,have the victim drink plenty of water and call a physician immediately. Section 5-FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA Flash point None Lower Explosive Limit None Upper Explosive Limit None Auto ignition temperature Not Combustible Extinguishing media Not Combustible Speciz.l fire fighting Procedures None Hazardous combustion products None Unusual fire and explosion hazards...None Section 6-ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Collect dry material using a scoop.Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as described in Section 8. Scrape up wet material and place in an appropriate container. Allow the material to"dry"before disposal. Do not attempt to wash portland cement down drains. Dispose of waste material according to local,state and federal regulations. Section 7-HANDLING AND STORAGE Keep portland cement dry until used. Normal temperatures and pressures do not affect the material. Promptly remove dusty clothing or clothing which is wet with cement fluids and launder before reuse. Wash thoroughly after exposure to dust or wet cement mixtures or fluids. Section 8-EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Skin Protection Prevention is essential to avoiding potentially severe skin injury. Avoid contact with unhardened portland cement. If contact occurs,promptly wash affected area with soap and water. Where prolonged exposure to unhardened portland cement products might occur,wear impervious clothing and gloves to eliminate skin contact. Wear sturdy boots that are impervious to water to eliminate foot and ankle exposure. Do not rely on barrier creams:barrier creams should not be used in place of gloves. Periodically wash areas contacted by dry portland cement or by wet cement or concrete fluids with a pH neutral soap. Wash again at the end of work. If irritation occurs, immediately wash the affected area and seek treatment. If clothing becomes saturated with wet concrete,it should be removed and replaced with clean dry clothing. Respiratory Protection _ Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Use local or general exhaust ventilation to control exposures below applicable exposure limits. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved(under 30 CFR 11)or NIOSH approved(under 42 CFR 84)respirators in poorly ventilated areas,if an applicable exposure limit is exceeded,or when dust causes discomfort or irritation.(Advisory:Respirators and filters purchased after June 10, 1998 must be certified under 42 CFR 84.) Ventilation Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control exposure within applicable limits. Eye Protection Where potentially subject to splashes or puffs of cement,wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles. In extremely dusty environments and unpredictable environments wear unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye irritation or injury. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with portland cement or fresh cement products. Section 9-PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL,PROPERTIES Appearance Gray Powder Odor.
