Admix 2000庐
TRADE NAME:
USE:
Admix 2000庐 is a modern polymer resin latex modifier, acrylic based, dispersible liquid for cement and plaster based
compounds. It may be considered for use after due trials as an admixture for concrete, mortar, and all products,
preparations and building materials based on hydraulic binders such as Portland cement, as well as possibly Gypsum
plaster, high alumina and magnesium oxychloride cements, etc. 鈥楢dmix 2000庐鈥? Powder can considerably increase
bond strength to the substrate and of the cementitious binder to aggregates/fillers, as well as flexural, tensile, impact
and compressive strengths, proportional to the dose rate to reduce or eliminate cracking, increase load bearing
potential in thinner sections, increase durability and extend the uses and performances of these historical building
materials.

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
ACUTE EFFECT:
Eyes: The material and its monomer vapours when heated, can irritate the eyes.
Skin: May irritate the skin upon prolonged or repeated contact.
Inhalation: Inhalation of monomer vapours from heated product can cause irritation, nausea,
headache and dizziness and may irritate the nose, throat, and upper respiratory tract.
Swallowed: No data available.
Chronic Effects: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause sensitisation.
FIRST AID:
Eye & Skin contact: Flush eyes with continuous amounts of clean tap water for at least 15 minutes. See a
doctor/physician if irritation persists. Wash affected skin areas with soap and water.
Inhalation: Move subject to fresh air.
Ingestion: If swallowed, dilute by giving two (2) glasses of water to drink. See a
doctor/physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Other First Aid: Cover any wound with clean dressing.
Advice to Doctors: No data available.
Toxicity Data: Listed for a similar modified resin 鈥? Acute oral LD50 (rat): >5g/mg; Acute dermal
LD50 (rabbit): >5g/kg; Acute inhalation one (1) hour (rat): dust generated at medium
concentration of 1.84 mg/litre was not fatal to any of the 10 test animals; Skin
(rabbit): slightly irritating; Eye (rabbit): slightly irritating.
Reactivity Data: Stability: Stable.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Conditions to Avoid: Decomposition is dependent on temperature and time. Onset of polymer
decomposition is 177oC. Hazardous decomposition products: None known.
(See Miscellaneous Information).
Exposure Standards: Although no Threshold Limit Value TLV has been assigned for this product we
recommend the following for nuisance dusts; TLV (Particulates Not Otherwise
Classified): 10 mg/m鲁.
Engineering Controls: Ensure workplace is well ventilated. Adequate ventilation should be maintained
when handling heated products. Hot vapours should not be inhaled.
Personal Protection: The following personal protective equipment is recommended: 鈥?/3.
3
Suitable protective overauls
Safety Goggles
Suitable Protective Gloves
Flammability: Non-flammable.
Environment: If introduced in concentrations up to 100 mg/litre, this chemical substance should
not affect the decomposing activity of the activated sludge in an operating
biological water treatment plant.
Other Precautions: The precautionary measures normally applied when handling chemicals are to be
observed.
PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY 鈥? MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
All thermoplastic materials release some vapours at high temperatures. Low levels of monomer vapours can develop
when this material is heated during processing.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Storage & Transport: Store at ambient temperature in a dry area. Prolonged exposure of polymer to
hot surfaces presents a potential fire hazard. Storage temperature range: 1oC
to 49oC. Decomposition is dependent on time and temperature. Onset of
polymer decomposition is 177oC. Avoid contact with ignition sources.
Packaging & Labelling: No special requirements.
Spills & Disposals: Keep spectators away. Soak up with sawdust, dry sand or suitable proprietary
Absorbent. Scoop or shovel solid material into a suitable container for
recovery or disposal in an approved land fill area.
Fire/Explosion Hazard: Fire extinguishing method: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and
full protective wear. Use water sprays to cool containers. CO2 and Dry
Chemical extinguishers may be used. May burn with intense heat if water
content has evaporated. See also Miscellaneous Information 鈥? above.
Flash Point: Not Applicable.
Other Safe Handing: Wash hands before work breaks and at the end of the working day.
Employees of Ability Building Chemicals Co, have not experienced any harmful effects during normal handling and
production.
