5. Fire-fighting measures

Recommended extinguishing media; alcohol resistant foam, CO2, powder, water spray.

Do not use - water jet.

Note; Fire will produce dense black smoke. Decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Avoid exposure and use
breathing apparatus as appropriate.

Cool closed containers exposed to fire by spraying them with water. Do not allow run off water and contaminants from fire
fighting to enter drains or water courses.

6. Accidental release measures

Remove sources of ignition, do not turn lights or unprotected electrical equipment on or off. In case of a major spill or spillage
in a confined space evacuate the area and check that solvent vapour levels are below the Lower Explosive Limit before re-
entering.
Ventilate the area and avoid breathing vapours. Take the personal protective measures listed in section 8.

Contain and absorb spillage with non-combustible materials e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite. Place in closed containers outside
buildings and dispose of according to relevant State and Federal regulations. (See section 13).

Clean, preferably with a detergent. Do not use solvents.

Do not allow spills to enter drains or watercourses.

If drains, sewers, streams or lakes are contaminated, inform the relevant Environment Protection Agency.

Empty containers may contain product residues, including flammable or explosive vapours. Do not cut, puncture or weld on or
near containers. All label warnings must be observed until the containers have been cleaned or reconditioned.

7. Handling and storage

Handling
This coating contains solvents. Solvent vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may form explosive
mixtures with air. Areas of storage, preparation and application should be ventilated to prevent the creation of flammable or
explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits.

In Storage
Handle containers carefully to prevent damage and spillage.
Naked flames and smoking should not be permitted in storage areas. It is recommended that fork lift trucks and electrical
equipment are protected to the appropriate standard.

In Use
Avoid skin and eye contact. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray mists. Observe label precautions. Use personal protection
as shown in section 8.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in all preparation and application areas.

Never use pressure to empty a container; containers are not pressure vessels.
All sources of ignition (hot surfaces, sparks, open flames etc) should be excluded from areas of preparation and application. All
electrical equipment (including torches) should be protected (Ex) to the appropriate standard.

The product may charge electrostatically. Always use earthing leads when pouring solvents and transferring product.
Operators should wear clothing which does not generate static (at least 60% natural fibre) and antistatic footwear; floors should
be of conducting type.

Storage
Store in a well ventilated, dry place away from sources of heat and direct sunlight.

Store on concrete or other impervious floor, preferably with bunding to contain any spillage. Do not stack more than 3 pallets
high.

Keep container tightly closed. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Keep in the original container or one of the same material.

Prevent unauthorised access.

The requirements of AS/NZS1940 (Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids) apply to all products with a
Flash Point less than 61C. Refer to this standard and to State Dangerous Goods Storage and Handling regulations.
All information concerning this product and/or suggestions for handling and use contained herein are offered in good faith and are
believed to be reliable. Akzo Nobel however makes no warranty as to the accuracy of and/or sufficiency of such information.

8. Exposure controls and personal protection

Engineering Measures
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and
good general extraction. If these are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates and any vapour below
occupational exposure limits suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

Exposure Limits
From the NOHSC "Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment". For detailed
information refer to the NOHSC web site (www.nohsc.gov.au).

Material Short term (15 min. ave) Long term (8hr time weighted average)
ppm mg/M3 ppm mg/M3
Formaldehyde 2.0 2.5 1.0 1.2 Sen/Cat2
n-Butanol - - 50 152 P/Sk
Talc - - - 2.5
Titanium dioxide - - - 10
Xylene 150 655 80 350
(P) Peak exposure limit
(R) Suppliers Recommended Limit
(Sk) There is a risk of absorption through unbroken skin
(Sen) Sensitiser
(Cat1) Category 1 - established human carcinogen
(Cat2) Category 2 - probable human carcinogen
(Cat3) Category 3 - substances suspected of having carcinogenic potential

Personal Protection

Respiratory Protection
When concentrations exceed the exposure limits shown above workers must wear appropriate respirators approved in
accordance AS/NZS1716. Provision of other controls such as exhaust ventilation should be considered if practical.

Eye Protection
Wear safety eyewear, e.g. safety spectacles, goggles or visors to protect against the splash of liquids. Eyewear should comply
with AS/NZS1337.

Wear a full face shield if mixing or pouring operations pose a risk of splashes.

An eye wash station is suggested as a good work place practice.

Hand Protection
Gloves of an appropriate material should be worn during mixing and application.

Skin Protection
Overalls which cover the body, arms and legs should be worn. Skin should not be exposed. Barrier creams may help to protect
areas which are difficult to cover such as the face and neck. They should however not be applied once exposure has occurred.
Petroleum jelly based types such as Vaseline should not be used. All parts of the body should be washed after contact.
All information concerning this product and/or suggestions for handling and use contained herein are offered in good faith and are
believed to be reliable. Akzo Nobel however makes no warranty as to the accuracy of and/or sufficiency of such information.

10. Stability and reactivity

Stable under recommended storage and handling conditions (see section 7). When exposed to high temperatures may
produce hazardous decomposition products such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and smoke.

Keep away from oxidising agents, strongly alkaline and strongly acid materials in order to avoid possible exothermic reactions.

11. Toxicological information

There are no data available on the product itself.

Exposure to solvent vapour concentrations from the component solvents in excess of the stated occupational exposure limits
may result in adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the
kidneys, liver and central nervous system. Symptoms include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness,
drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.

Repeated or prolonged contact with the preparation may cause removal of natural fat from the skin resulting in dryness,
irritation and possible non-allergic contact dermatitis. Solvents may also be absorbed through the skin. Splashes of liquid in the
eyes may cause irritation and soreness with possible reversible damage.
Contains traces of Formaldehyde which is considered a probable human carcinogen.
