| 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. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have a qualified person give oxygen through a facemask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. In the event of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage. Seek immediate medical advice |
| Skin contact | If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with runningwater. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance. For gross contamination, immediately drench with water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and soap if material is insoluble). For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available. If blistering occurs, do NOT break blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical assistance |
| Ingestion | Do NOT induce vomiting without medical advice. Rinse mouth with water. Never administer anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Obtain medical aid immediately |
| Eye contact |
Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open.
Remove clothing if contaminated and wash skin. Urgently seek medical assistance.Transport to hospital or medical centre. 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. |
| Notes to physician | Treat symptomatically. |

| Hazchem Code | 2R |
| Suitable extinguishing media | If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), alcohol resistant foam, standard foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder). |
| Specific hazards | May intensify fire; oxidiser. |
| Fire fighting further advice | On burning or decomposing may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear selfcontained 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 | If safe to do so, shut off all possible sources of ignition. 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). Use a spark-free shovel. 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. Store locked up. Store in corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner. Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks. |

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 |
Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing appropriate
respirator.
|
| Personal Protection Equipment | RUBBER BOOTS, OVERALLS, GLOVES, APRON, FACE SHIELD, RESPIRATOR. |
|
Wear rubber boots, overalls, gloves, apron, face shield, respirator. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation
risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS
1716.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 skin
contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close
to the workstation location.
