Material Safety Data Sheet <br />HYDRATED LIME <br />SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION <br />Engineering Controls: Provide ventilation adequate to maintain PELs. <br />Rev. Date:5 /1 /2008 <br />Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH /MSHA approved respirators if airborne concentration exceeds PELs. <br />Skin Protection: Use appropriate gloves and footwear to prevent skin contact. Clothing should fully cover <br />arms and legs. Should lime get inside clothing or gloves, remove the clothing and the lime <br />promptly. <br />Eye Protection: Use safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles. Contact lenses should not be worn <br />when working with lime products. <br />Eye wash fountain /stations and emergency showers should be available. <br />SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES <br />Appearance: <br />Odor: <br />Physical State: <br />White or grayish -white <br />Odorless <br />Solid <br />powder <br />Boiling Point ( °C / °F): <br />Melting Point ( °C / °F): <br />Specific Gravity <br />2850/5162 <br />dec 580 / 1076 <br />(Apparent) g /cc: 0.4-0.55 <br />(True) g /cc: 2.2-2.4— <br />Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): <br />Vapor Density: <br />Evaporation Rate: <br />N.A. <br />N.A. <br />N.A. <br />Solubility in Water <br />pH (25 °C /77 0F): <br />Slightly soluble in water. <br />112.4 <br />SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY <br />bility: <br />Incompatibility/ <br />Conditions to Avoid: <br />Decomposition <br />Chemically stable, but slowly reacts with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate. <br />See also Incompatibility below. <br />Hydrate should not be mixed or stored with the following materials, due to the potential <br />for vigorous reaction and release of heat: <br />Acids unless in a controlled process) Organic Acid Anhydrides <br />Reactive Fluoridated Compounds Nitro-Organic Compounds <br />Reactive Brominated Compounds Reactive Phosphorous Compounds <br />Reactive Powdered Metals Interhalooenated Compounds <br />None <br />Polymerization: None <br />visit <br />www.chemicallime.com Chemical Lime <br />4 of 6 for latest MSDS versions <br />
