Not hazardous in normal industrial use.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Get medical advice if irritation develops or persists.
Skin:
Take off all contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated area with soapy warm water. Get medical advice if irritation develops or persists.
Wash contaminated clothing and clean shoes before reuse.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferable mouth to mouth. If
breathing is laboured, give oxygen and consult a physician immediately.
Ingestion:
Consult a physician immediately. If vomiting occurs, aspiration into the lungs may cause lung damage. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: Not Applicable
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not Applicable
Lower Explosive Limit: No data available

Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Use as appropriate for surrounding fire.
Protective Equipment for Fire Fighting:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
The product is not flammable.
Thermal decomposition of this product may produce toxic fumes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Provide sufficient ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment including gloves and safety glasses. Floor may be slippery. Do not breathe vapour. Contain
spill. Do not allow into drains or waterways. Take up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, vermiculite, or
commercially available inorganic absorbent). Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Fill into suitable
containers for disposal. Dispose of empty containers in accordance with federal, state and local laws.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Observe normal standards of industrial hygiene for handling chemicals. Eliminate all sources
of ignition. Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapour and contact with skin and eyes. Wear
gloves, long sleeved shirt, and eye protection. A sensitised person should not be exposed to the product.
Storage:
Store in tightly sealed containers to protect from atmospheric moisture. Store in a cool, dry
area. Keep away from ignition sources such as fire, flame and sparks.
Empty container warning:
Do not reuse empty drums or containers unless professionally cleaned. Do
not cut, drill, grind or weld on or near empty containers.
Other Precautions:
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product.

Respiratory Protection
If vapours and mists occur, a respiratory protection program meeting Australian Standards AS- 1716 and AS-1715 requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. None required if airborne concentrations are maintained below the exposure limit listed in "Exposure Limit Information"
Eye Protection
Use chemical splash goggles (Australian Standard AS-1337) or approved equivalent. Eye protection worn must be compatible with respiratory protection system employed. An eye wash station and safety shower should be available in the work area.
Hand Protection
Impermeable gloves as necessary to prevent skin contact. E.g. nitrile or neoprene gloves.
Protective Clothing
Clothing made of the following material has excellent resistance : Tyvec, butyl nitrile rubber or neoprene.
Engineering Controls (Ventilation)
Use local exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain exposure levels below exposure limit concentrations. Refer to Australian Standard AS-1668.
