Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
• For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor at once.
• Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed.
• If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
• If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and
prevent aspiration.
EYE
■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
• Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water.
• Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting
the upper and lower lids.
• Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
• Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
SKIN
■ If skin or hair contact occurs:
• Immediately flush body and clothes with large amounts of water, using safety shower if available.
• Quickly remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
• Wash skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre.
• Transport to hospital, or doctor.
INHALED
• If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
• Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
• Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid
procedures.
• Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket
mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
• Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes) may cause lung oedema.
• Corrosive substances may cause lung damage (e.g. lung oedema, fluid in the lungs).
• As this reaction may be delayed up to 24 hours after exposure, affected individuals need complete rest (preferably in semirecumbent posture) and must be kept under medical observation even if no symptoms are (yet) manifested.
• Before any such manifestation, the administration of a spray containing a dexamethasone derivative or beclomethasone derivative
may be considered.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
For acute or short-term repeated exposures to highly alkaline materials:
• Respiratory stress is uncommon but present occasionally because of soft tissue edema.
• Unless endotracheal intubation can be accomplished under direct vision, cricothyroidotomy or tracheotomy may be necessary.
• Oxygen is given as indicated.
• The presence of shock suggests perforation and mandates an intravenous line and fluid administration.

MATERIAL DATA
CALCIUM HYDROXIDE:
COHARO COATINGS – MARBLE FINISH - MF:
For calcium hydroxide:
In the absence of reports of adverse effects from exposure and the recognised lesser alkalinity of the alkaline earths
compared with the the alkali hydroxides the relatively high value of TLV-TWA is recommended. This value corresponds in total
alkalinity to 5 mg/m3 of sodium hydroxide or 2.5 times the TLV-TWA of sodium hydroxide.
CALCIUM CARBONATE:
COHARO COATINGS – MARBLE FINISH - MF:
For calcium carbonate:
The TLV-TWA is thought to be protective against the significant risk of physical irritation associated with exposure.

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
• Chemical goggles.
• Full face shield may be required for supplementary but never for primary protection of eyes
• Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a
review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and
first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of
chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at
the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed
hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent].
HANDS/FEET
• Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.
• Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber.
• When handling corrosive liquids, wear trousers or overalls outside of boots, to avoid spills entering boots.
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can
not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and
has to be observed when making a final choice.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include:
OTHER
• Overalls.
• PVC Apron.
• PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
• Eyewash unit.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to
provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation
that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
■ The material can produce chemical burns within the oral cavity and gastrointestinal tract following ingestion.
EYE
■ The material can produce chemical burns to the eye following direct contact. Vapours or mists may be extremely irritating.
If applied to the eyes, this material causes severe eye damage.
Eye contact with calcium hydroxide may result in severe irritation and pain. The material may induce ulcerations of the eyeball
surface.
SKIN
■ The material can produce chemical burns following direct contactwith the skin.
In the presence of moisture calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) is a caustic irritant and can be damaging to human tissue. Skin
contact may result in severe burns and blistering, depending on duration of contact.
Reactions may not occur on exposure but response may be delayed with symptoms only appearing many hours later.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects.
Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
■ Inhaling corrosive bases may irritate the respiratory tract. Symptoms include cough, choking, pain and damage to the mucous
membrane. In severe cases, lung swelling may develop, sometimes after a delay of hours to days. There may be low blood pressure,
a weak and rapid pulse, and crackling sounds.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
■ Repeated or prolonged exposure to corrosives may result in the erosion of teeth, inflammatory and ulcerative changes in the
mouth and necrosis (rarely) of the jaw. Bronchial irritation, with cough, and frequent attacks of bronchial pneumonia may ensue.
Gastrointestinal disturbances may also occur. Chronic exposures may result in dermatitis and/or conjunctivitis.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational
exposure.
Long term exposure to calcium hydroxide may result in narrowing of the gullet, with difficulty in swallowing. This may happen
after weeks, months or years of exposure.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
■ Not available. Refer to individual constituents.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
■ Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to
laws operating in their area.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
• Reduction.
• DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
• It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
• In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first.
• Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.
• Recycle wherever possible.
• Consult manufacturer for recycling options or consult local or regional waste management authority for disposal if no suitable
treatment or disposal facility can be identified.
• Treat and neutralise at an approved treatment plant.
• Treatment should involve: Neutralisation with suitable dilute acid followed by: burial in a land-fill specifically licenced to
accept chemical and / or pharmaceutical wastes or Incineration in a licenced apparatus (after admixture with suitable
combustible material).
