Perfluoroamphiphile in Dynax DX 5011
Summary Report
Reference No: LTD/1285
Kidde Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 68 006 252 428) of 314 Boundary Road, Dingley, VIC, 3172
has submitted a limited notification statement in support of their application for an
assessment certificate for Perfluoroamphiphile in Dynax DX 5011. The notified polymer is
intended to be used as an additive for improving foam stability in aqueous fire fighting foam
concentrates for hydrocarbon fuels. Typical end-users are fire brigades, industrial fire
services and foam fire extinguisher manufacturers. Fire extinguishers will not be used in
home or office environments. Up to one tonne of the notified polymer will be imported per
annum for each of the first five years.
ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Hazard Assessment
Based on the available data, the notified polymer is not classified as a hazardous substance in
accordance with the NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances
(NOHSC 2004).
Once released to the environment the notified polymer will be subject to biotic and abiotic
mechanisms which will overtime, breakdown the polymer. No degradation products or
pathways of the notified polymer have been identified. Perfluorocarboxylic acids and
fluorotelomer sulfonates are potential breakdown products.
In the absence of data on the potential perfluorocarboxylic acid breakdown products, it is
considered that these breakdown products could have a number of systemic toxic effects
including developmental effects. Based on the limited data available the potential breakdown
product 6:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate is not classified as a hazardous substance in accordance
with the NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances (NOHSC 2004).
However, it is noted that the full toxicological profile of this breakdown product has not been
investigated e.g. carcinogenicity.
Occupational Health and Safety
There is Low Concern to occupational health and safety under the conditions of the
occupational settings described.
Public Health
There is Negligible Concern to public health due to direct exposure to the notified polymer.
Although indirect exposure of the general population to the polymer's degradation products is
expected to be low, long-term potential adverse health effects cannot be ruled out.
Environmental Effects
On the basis of the PEC/PNEC ratio the notified polymer may pose an unacceptable risk to
the environment. However, it is acknowledged this would be a rare event and in most cases
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 06, 5 June 2007
14
the relevant authorities would erect bunding to prevent releases in this situation. Breakdown
products of the notified polymer are persistent and may build-up and be distributed widely in
the environment.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Regulatory Controls
AICS
?When the notified polymer is added to the Australian Inventory of Chemical
Substances (AICS), it should be annotated with the following condition of use:
- For use only as a class B fire fighting foam for which no suitable and less
hazardous alternatives are available.
Control Measures
Occupational Health and Safety
? Employers should implement the following safe work practices to minimise
occupational exposure during handling of the notified polymer as introduced:
- Avoid contact with skin and eyes
? Employers should ensure that the following personal protective equipment is used by
workers to minimise occupational exposure to the notified polymer as introduced:
- Impervious gloves
- Eye protection
? Employers should ensure that the following personal protective equipment is used by
workers to minimise occupational exposure to the notified polymer/thermal
decomposition products during fire fighting activities.
- Breathing apparatus
Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian,
Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards.
? A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees.
? If products and mixtures containing the notified polymer are classified as hazardous to
health in accordance with the NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous
Substances, workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of
State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation.
Public Health
? The following measures should be taken to minimise public exposure to the notified
polymer and its potential breakdown products:
- Use of the fire fighting foam concentrate containing the notified polymer should
be restricted to only essential uses, for which no suitable and less hazardous
alternatives are available.
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 06, 5 June 2007
15
- Fire fighting foam concentrate containing the notified polymer should not be used
for fire training purposes to limit environmental release.
Environment
The following control measures should be implemented to minimise environmental exposure
during fire fighting activities with foam concentrate containing the notified polymer:
? Minimise run-off by containment (e.g. bunding) and removal
? If any polymer does reach natural waters, ensure sufficient dilution with water occurs
(up to 100 fold the volume of the lost foam may be needed if this occurs in a country
sewer).
Disposal
? The notified polymer should be disposed of in accordance with the relevant local,
state and federal government regulations and undertaken by a registered chemical
disposal company. Disposal to landfill is acceptable.
Emergency procedures
? Spills/release of the notified polymer should be handled by containing the spill /
stopping the leak if possible (for example, turn the leaking containers leak-side up) or
by bunding for a large spill.
? Place inert absorbent material such as vermiculite, sand or dirt onto spilled material
and recover by vacuuming, shovelling or sweeping and place into a suitable labelled
container for disposal.
? Wash the floor with plenty of water and recover the cleaning water for disposal.
? If large quantities of the polymer enter waterways, contact the Environmental
Protection Authority and the local waste management authority
Secondary Notification

Lexan XHT8141
Summary Report
Reference No: PLC/678
General Electric Plastics (Australia) Pty Ltd (ABN 92 005 837 454) of 175 Hammond Rd
Dandenong VIC 3175 has submitted a polymer of low concern (PLC) notification statement
in support of their application for an assessment certificate for Lexan XHT8141. The notified
polymer is intended to be used to produce injection-moulded or extruded articles. Up to 200
tonnes of the notified polymer will be imported per annum for each of the first five years.
ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Hazard Assessment
No toxicity data was submitted. The notified polymer meets the PLC criteria and is therefore
expected to be of low hazard.
The notified polymer is a water insoluble polymer with a molecular weight greater than
10,000 daltons. However, the US EPA concern regarding lung overloading for this class of
polymers (high MW, insoluble) is primarily for polymers with a MW greater than 70,000
daltons (although a data gap for polymers with MW 10,000-70,000 is acknowledged). In
addition, the particle size distribution of the powder indicates that the mass median diameter
is 107 祄, with only 1.5% of the particles having a diameter less than 10 祄 (respirable
range). Significant respiration of the polymer powder into the lungs resulting in lung
overloading is therefore unlikely.
Occupational Health and Safety
There is low concern to occupational health and safety under the conditions of the
occupational settings described.
Public Health
There is negligible concern to public health when used in the proposed manner.
Environmental Effects
The polymer is not considered to pose a risk to the environment based on its reported use
pattern.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Control Measures
Occupational Health and Safety
?No specific engineering controls, work practices or personal protective equipment are
required for the safe use of the notified polymer itself, however, these should be
selected on the basis of all ingredients in the formulation.
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 06, 5 June 2007
44
Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from
Australian, Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards.
? The level of atmospheric nuisance dust should be maintained as low as possible. The
NOHSC exposure standard for atmospheric dust is 10 mg/m3.
? A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees.
? If products and mixtures containing the notified polymer are classified as hazardous to
health in accordance with the NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous
Substances, workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of
State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation.
Disposal
? The notified polymer should be reused or recycled, if possible, but otherwise can be
disposed of to landfill or by incineration, if available.
Emergency procedures
? Spills and/or accidental release of the notified polymer should be handled by
containment, collection by sweeping (but do not create a powder cloud) and then
placed in a sealable container ready for washing and reuse, if possible, other wise
disposed of to landfill.
Secondary Notification
The Director of Chemicals Notification and Assessment must be notified in writing within 28
days by the notifier, other importer or manufacturer:
(1) Under subsection 64(1) of the Act; if
- the notified polymer is introduced in a chemical form that does not meet the PLC
criteria.
or
(2) Under subsection 64(2) of the Act:
- if any of the circumstances listed in the subsection arise.
The Director will then decide whether secondary notification is required.
