Methods and materials used for containment Cleanup procedures and Storage:
| Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures | Ventilate area of leak or spill. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Restrict unprotected personnel from the area. Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. Do not approach facing the wind. Do not touch the spilled material. |
| Environmental precautions | Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources. |
| Small Spill | Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. |
| If necessary | Neutralize the residue with a dilute solution of acetic acid. |
| Large Spill | Corrosive solid. Stop leak if without risk. Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Vacuum or sweep-up and remove to an approved disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate as per law. Residues can be neutralized with a dilute solution of acetic acid. |
| Precautions for safe handling | Never add water to this product. Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.). Prevent any contact with hot surfaces. |
| Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities | Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vap7or. Do not store with incompatible materials like organic materials, acids, moisture. |
| Engineering Controls | Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume, or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. |
| Personal Protection | Splash goggles. Synthetic apron. Vapor and dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves. |
| Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill | Splash goggles. Full suit. Vapor and dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self-contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product. |

| Special Remarks on Reactivity: | Absorbs CO2 from air. Reacts with fluorine to evolve much heat and some light. Reacts with water. Addition of water to Quicklime has generated temperatures as high as 800 C. Some reports describe the reaction as violent. In water, calcium oxide forms calcium hydroxide generating a large quantity of heat. Ignition of sulfur, gunpowder, wood, and straw by heat of Quicklime-water reaction has been reported. Liquid hydrofluoric acid and calcium oxide react very violently. Calcium reacts with phosphorous pentoxide extremely violently when initiated by local heating. It becomes incandescent when heated to near its melting point (2500 C). Quick Lime when stored against brick wall is known to push off the wall. |
