Eye Protection- Use chemical splash goggles
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment- Wear body covering clothing, rubber boots.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Wash hands and exposed skin after use. Remove contaminated or wetted clothing and launder.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) - reasonable foreseeable use or misuse (e.g.-emergency

Full fire fighting universally requires full respiratory protection (SCBA) and full fire
fighting turnout gear (Bunker gear) to protect the wearer from a variety of hazards.

Crystal Lok® is applied onto concrete structures which may contain surface equipment, machinery or other materials including engines, fuels, rubber, plastics, etc. requiring hazard protection.

Eye/face protection:
Eye protection Use chemical splash goggles in enclosed area and where blast-back can occur, or where wind can cause exposure or where working overhead.

Skin protection: Wear chemical resistant clothing including rubber gloves, boots, nonabsorbent whole body suits appropriate to coatings applications, as indicated by the sites exposure potential of associated equipment, used in applying Crystal-lok® and weather.

Respiratory Protection: Use a NIOSH approved dust and mist respirator where spray mist occurs. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 C.F.R. §1910.134)

General hygiene considerations:
There are no known hazards associated with this material when used as recommended. The

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Crysal-Lok® page 4 of 6
American National Standard ANSI Z400-1-2004; Date Prepared: December 15, 2006

following general hygiene considerations are recognized as common good industrial practices.

While Crystal Lok® may present no obvious hazard to health or environment, there are some
general hygiene considerations that are practiced by industry and are generally applicable to
industrial situations. such considerations may include;
Avoid breathing vapor or dust.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating and drinking.

Preparation of concrete surfaces may cause hazardous conditions. If you scrape, sand, or
remove rust or old paint, you may release lead dust. Lead is toxic. Exposure to lead dust can
cause serious illness, such as brain damage,especially in children. Pregnant women should also
avoid exposure. Wear a NIOSH approved respirator to control lead exposure. Clean up carefully
with a HEPA vacuum and a wet mop. Before you start, find out how to protect yourself and your
family by contacting the National Lead Information Hotline at 1-800-424-LEAD or log on to
www.epa.gov/lead.

These general hygiene considerations are not material specific. They are placed here to avoid
diminishing the importance of the material specific recommendations.

Section 12: Ecological Information
Sinks and mixes with water. High pH is harmful to aquatic life. This material is not persistent
in aquatic systems. Diluted material rapidly depolymerizes to yield dissolved silica that is
indistinguishable from natural dissolved silica. Does not bioaccumulate except in species that
use silica as a structural material such as diatoms and siliceous sponges. Where abnormally
low natural silica concentrations exist (less than 0.1 ppm), dissolved silica may be a limiting
nutrient for diatoms and a few other aquatic algal species. However, the addition of excess
dissolved silica over the limiting concentration will not stimulate the growth of diatom
populations; their growth rate is independent of silica concentration once the limiting
concentration is exceeded. Neither silica nor sodium will appreciably bioconcentrate up the
food chain. See Section 2 - Hazards Identification and Section 6: Accidental Release Measures.

Crystal Lok® container label text:
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SURFACE PREPARATION: Crystal-Lok should be applied to concrete that is free of paint, wax,
oil, dirt and dust. If previous sealer has been applied, it must be removed before Crystal-Lok
can be used.
APPLICATION: Crystal-Lok must be mixed thoroughly before using and kept agitated. It is best
applied with airless spray, but a brush or roller can also be used. Ideal application is in two
light coats applied at 300-400 square feet per gallon. One coat coverage should be about 200
300 square feet per gallon or less depending upon the porosity of the concrete. If liquid remains
behind the spray nozzle, move the nozzle faster. Broom or trowel finish determines application
rate. Good concrete should have a pH of 12-13, if it is below pH 10 future problems will occur
with rusting of reinforcement steel. Can be applied when temperature is 38°F. and rising or
100°F. and falling. Moisten hot surfaces with water to break surface tension before applying.
CAUTION: Do not thin. Do not allow Crystal-Lok to puddle or allow water to stand on the
surface immediately after application. Puddles can cause a residue, a white powder, that is
extremely difficult to remove. Rinse the surface thoroughly after application whenever possible.
Intended for use on surface in which Portland cement is used; concrete, stucco, blocks, beams,
etc. Crystal-Lok is effective on weeping concrete walls and basements if there is no paint on the
concrete. One application is normally enough and results are evident within 24 hours. Do not
spray on glass or aluminum as it will etch the surface. Rinse immediately if glass or aluminum
is sprayed. Do not apply to Clay Brick.
WARRANTY: Manufacturer’s liability is limited to the replacement or refund of purchase price.
Shelf life is indefinite and is not affected by freezing or extremes of heat or humidity. If frozen,
Crystal-Lok must be thawed completely and mixed before use. Does not repair structural cracks.
CAUTION: pH 11.5 alkaline. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, flush
immediately with plenty of water. If irritation continues, call a physician.
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting and call a physician.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
MADE IN U.S.A.
