4. FIRST AID MEASURES

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand
0800 764 766).
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest
until fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Skin contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with
running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.

Safety Data Sheet

Eye contact: If in eyes wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to drink.
Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water. Seek
medical advice.
PPE for First Aiders: Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves. Available information suggests
that gloves made from nitrile rubber should be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations
in glove construction and local conditions, the user should make a final assessment. Always wash hands
before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective
equipment before storing or re-using. If risk of inhalation of exists, wear organic vapour/particulate
respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazchem Code: Not applicable.
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water
spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Specific hazards: Combustible material.
Fire fighting further advice: On burning may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-contained
breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for
disposal.
LARGE SPILLS
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up
immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and the inhalation of
vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use
absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for
disposal. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Dangerous Goods Initial Emergency Response Guide No: Not applicable.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible
materials described in Section 10. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

National occupational exposure limits:

CATEGORY

NOTICES

As published by the Safe Work Australia.

TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day
working week over an entire working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a 15-minute period, which
should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All
atmospheric contamination should be kept too as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards
should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They
are not a measure of relative toxicity.
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should
not exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially
exposed during product manufacture.
Biological Limit Values: As per the National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous
Substances (Safe Work Australia) the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit Allocated.
Engineering measures: Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use conditions. Keep
containers closed when not in use.
Personal protection equipment: OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES.
When handling individual retail packs no personal protection equipment is required. Wear overalls, safety
glasses and impervious gloves. Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile rubber should
be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions,
the user should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the
toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid eye contact
and repeated or prolonged skin contact. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the
workstation location.
