Expando Safety Instructions

Following this list of Expando Safety Instructions will allow you to complete your job safely.

Assess and secure the site to ensure that no damage or harm is caused to persons or surrounding property during and after the process.
Wear long sleeved shirt and trousers. Use personal protective equipment if there is risk of exposure to powder, slurry or dust.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If accidental contact occurs, wash off powder immediately.
Avoid inhaling dust and wear a dust mask.
Use approved safety goggles and gloves when mixing and filling.
If working in a confined area ensure adequate ventilation, wear a dust mask and use appropriate safety equipment as required by relevant regulation.
Do not use hot water for mixing.
Do not put prepared slurry into bottles or cans: this could lead to a blow-out of glass or metal fragments.
Do not look into the filled holes. Cover holes with a cloth sheet until reaction is completed.

In addition to these Expando Safety Instructions, read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Temperature ranges

Which temperature range should I choose for my project?

You have four temperature range choices when purchasing Expando:

-5°C – 10°C (SCA-3)
10°C – 25°C (SCA-2)
20°C – 35°C (SCA-1)
35°C – 45°C (SCAH)

The temperature range you choose depends on the conditions on your work site. Such things as shade and time of day can affect this.

While the higher temperature range may suit some regions (QLD, NT, WA) the lower ranges may suit others (NSW, VIC, SA, TAS), always consider the unique conditions where you will be using Expando to ensure you choose the best mortar for your project.
