Flyash: 68131/74/8
Silica Fume: 7631/86/9
鈥榚-SPHERES鈥?: 68131-74-8 (strong, hollow ceramic microspheres of fused alumino
silicate)
Dangerous Goods/and
Subsidiary Risk: Non Applicable
Use: Cementitious (cement-based) 鈥榯he Paint鈥? is used as a long-life
insulative, stipple textured coating. It is typically applied with
tools/equipment used for normal painting such as brushes, brooms,
rollers as well as with suitable spray application equipment.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Personal Protection: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves (AS 2161), and eye
protection (AS/NZS 1337). When exposed to dust, also wear a
suitable respirator (AS/NZS 1715 and 1716).
Wash skin thoroughly after handling.
Wash work clothes regularly and separately from other clothes.
Threshed Limit Value (TLV): 2 mg/m鲁 for inspirable dust.
鈥榯he Paint鈥?, particularly in liquid slurry (unhardened) form, can dry the
skin and cause alkali burns. Continued exposure to individuals who
are allergic to chromium, may cause allergic dermatitis or eczema of
the skin.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE (Continued):
Ventilation: Where practical, suitable means of dust collection/suppression
should be applied as necessary to maintain acceptable air borne dust
levels.
Persons with a history or respiratory illness or reduced pulmonary
function should avoid work places with high dust levels.
Flammability: The product is non-combustible. Do not use the product in confined
areas with limited air space. Avoid the possibility of fire caused by
fine dust near naked flames, static electricity, electrical sparks or in an
explosive atmosphere 鈥? especially where gas may be leaking.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Handling and Storage: 鈥榯he Paint鈥? should be stored in containers that prevent ingress of
moisture as this will cause it to set and harden in storage. The
container in which it is supplied is the best form of storage otherwise
store in a suitable size containers so that each is full with no air space
and that have tight fitting lids.
Spills and Disposals: Spills may be cleaned up carefully without producing dust by any dry
method with personal protection equipment being used by clean-up
personnel. Collect in containers for disposal as trade waste in
accordance with your local authority laws and guidelines.
