FLAMMABILITY PROPERTIES
SPILL MANAGEMENT Wear suitable protective equipment, especially goggles. Stop source of leak or spill
if you can do so without risk.
In the case of small spills, use inert absorbent material (eg. sand, sawdust or diatomaceous earth) to soak up
the spilled product. Dispose of absorbent material in accordance with state or local regulations. Wash spill
area with large amounts of water and detergent.
With larger spills, dike the spill area for containment and recovery if possible. Place inert absorbent material
onto the spillage. Prevent spill entering drains, waterways, sewers, rivers, basements etc. If large quantities
of this material enter the waterways contact the Environmental Protection Authority.
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in
accordance with all applicable local, state and national regulations.

HANDLING Do not take internally. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Upon contact with skin, wash
with sufficient amounts of water and soap. Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
Wash contaminated clothing or dispose appropriately.
Repeated or prolonged contact with this material should be avoided in order to reduce the possibility of skin
disorders. Observe good personal hygiene. Good ventilation is recommended and avoid build up of oil mist
in the working area.
Misuse of empty containers can be hazardous. Do not cut, weld, heat or drill containers. Residue in the
container may ignite if exposed to heat. Do not expose container to open flame or excess heat. Always keep
container closed and caps in place.
STORAGE This product is hydroscopic and storage under dry nitrogen is recommended. Keep container
tightly sealed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Keep away
from open flames and other ignition sources. For safe storage refer to Australian Standards AS1940.
EXPOSURE LIMITS No value assigned for this specific material by the NOHSC. However, the threshold
limit value (Exposure Standards) for oil mist is listed as 5mg/m
ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use in a well ventilated area. Where vapours or oil mists are generated and
exposure standards are exceeded, the use of personal respiratory protection equipment or an adequate
exhaust ventilation system is recommended.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION If engineering controls are still inadequate, the use of an approved
respirator with organic vapour / particulate filter complying with AS/NZS 1715 (Selection, Use and
Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devises) and AS/NZS 1716 (Respiratory Protective Devices) is
recommended. The selection of type of breathing protection should be based on expert advice. Reference
should be made to the relevant Australian Standards.
In the case of high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive
pressure mode.
HAND PROTECTION Protective gloves is normally not required, but impervious gloves such as nitrile, viton
or neoprene is recommended if required. Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove
selection. Inspect and replace worn or damaged gloves.
EYE PROTECTION Goggles or safety glasses with side shields are recommended.
BODY AND SKIN PROTECTION No skin protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use.
In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should be taken to avoid skin contact. If
required, use a chemical resistance apron to avoid contact of material with skin.
