eGrout MC50 contains cement powders that when mixed or
become damp, release alkalis that can be harmful to the
skin. During use, avoid inhalation of dust and contact with
skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves,
eye protection and a dust mask. The use of a barrier cream
provides additional skin protection. In case of contact with
eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek
medical advice. In case of contact with skin, rinse with
plenty of clean water, then cleanse with soap and water. If
swallowed, seek medical attention immediately – do not
induce vomiting.
