SECTION V - Reactivity Data
Stability	Unstable: Yes Conditions to Avoid: Coming into contact with water, humid air or acids.
Stable: Yes If no moisture or acids are present.
Incompatibility: Materials to Avoid	Should not be mixed or stored in contact with chemicals that are moist or have water of hydration.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts	None
Hazardous Polymerization	Will Not Occur: X
May Occur: conditions to Avoid:
SECTION VI - Health Hazard Data
Route(s) of Entry	Inhalation? X
Skin? X
Ingestion?
Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic)	Under hot humid conditions quicklime can cause skin burns to a perspiring work or skin irritation. Can be irritating if inhaled, causing sneezing.

Signs and Symptoms of Exposure	Redness of skin, sneezing.
Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure	N/A
Emergency and First Aid Procedures	In case of burns or skin irritation use boric acid salve or burn ointment. For eyes, flush out immediately with water and see physician.
Other Precautions
SECTION VII - Precautions for Safe Handling and Use
Steps to Be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled	Clean up by normal physical methods.
Waste Disposal Method	Salvage for use or remove to dump. Do not place where heat of hydration by contact with water could ignite adjacent materials such as wood or paper.
Precautions to Be Taken in Handling and Storing	Do not store near acids or chemicals which are moist or contain water of hydration. Store in a dry area.
SECTION VIII - Control Measures
Respiratory Protector (Specify Type)	Protective dust mask
Ventilation	Mechanical (General): Adequate to keep dust conc. below TLV.
Other: Vent dust to a collector.
Local Exhaust:
Special:
Proctective Gloves	Normal work gloves
Eye Protection	Tight fitting safety goggles
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment	Long sleeved shirt with buttoned collar. Long pants extending over work shoes. Protective cream may be used on exposed skin if needed.
