EC number: 266-045-5 | CAS number: 65997-16-2 High-Alumina cement is a mixture of chemical substances produced by burning or sintering at high temperature (greater than 1200°C (2192°F)) raw materials which are predominantly calcium carbonate, aluminium oxide, silica, and iron oxide. The chemical substances which are manufactured are confined in a crystalline mass. This category includes all of the chemical substances specified below when they are intentionally manufactured in the production of high-alumina cement. The primary members of this category are CaAl2O4, Ca4Al2Fe2O10, Ca12Al14O33, and Ca2SiO4. Other compounds listed below may also be included in the combination with these primary substances.@CaAl4O7@Ca2Al2SiO7@CaAl12O19@Ca4Al6SO16@Ca3Al2O6.@Ca12Al14Cl@CaO@Ca12Al14F2@Ca3SiO5@Ca6Al4Fe2.@Ca2Fe2O5.

Administrative data
First-aid measures
General information:
First aider: pay attention to self- protection!
After inhalation: In case of dust inhalation remove person to ventilated area and keep calm. In case of ongoing discomfort consult a physician
After skin contact: In case of large exposures wash with soap and water.
After eye contact. If particles comes into contact with eyes treatment for mechanical irritation or injury may be required; flush thoroughly with water, in case of ongoing discomfort consult a physician
After swallowing: Wash mouth with water
Notes to physician: none
Fire-fighting measures
Not flammable.
Suitable extinguishing agents:Use extinguishing agents appropriate for surrounding materials.
For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: NoneSpecial hazards caused by the substance, its products of combustion or resulting gases: None.
Protective equipment: Fire fighters should wear approved personal protective equipment for the surrounding fired material
Accidental release measures
Environmental protection measures: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff. Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal. Collect material for recycling if possible.
Measures for cleaning: Use vacuum cleaner if possible.
Handling and storage
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Storage: Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles: Store in dry ventilated area. Additional hints: none

7.5*/2.5** mg/m³ (*inhalable dust; ** respirable dust)
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Ensure good ventilation / local exhaust at the workplace in the case of operations generating dust. Avoid work practises which generate dust. Avoid inhalation and skin and eye contact
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Respiratory equipment: not required under recommended conditions of use. In case dust is generated, use personal protective equipment, dust filter P2 or if fine particles P3.
Use protective goggles and gloves when handling the substance and appropriate work clothes
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROL
Avoid creating dusty conditions and prevent wind dispersal
Stability and reactivity
Stable under normal conditions of use, storage, and transport
Conditions to be avoided:
None
Materials to be avoided: none
Dangerous decomposition products: none
Disposal considerations
Packaging: Packaging that cannot be cleaned should be disposed of as product.
