3. COMPOSITION INFORMATION
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: Effects may be delayed. If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove contaminated clothing
and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons
Information Centre or a Doctor; or for 15 minutes and transport to Doctor or Hospital.

until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a Doctor; or for at least 15 minutes and transport to
Doctor or Hospital.
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 safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses. 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.
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use alcohol resistant foam or dry agent (carbon
dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Fire fighting further advice: On burning or decomposing 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 or decomposition.
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS
Clear area of all unprotected personnel. 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 crops,
sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Handling: Avoid eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.
