Tris (1,3-dichloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TDCPP) 13674-87-8
Tris (2-chloro-1-propyl) phosphate 6145-73-9
The notice is directed to all persons who have manufactured or imported trisphosphates or
imported products/mixtures containing trisphosphates in the calendar years 2006 and 2007.
Importers and manufacturers of trisphosphates and importers of mixtures containing
trisphosphates are required to provide the information below. Formulators and endusers of
trisphosphates are encouraged to provide the information. The information provided will
assist in determining further assessment activity.
The information required on these chemicals is:
a) quantities of each trisphosphate imported in the calendar years 2006 and 2007;
b) quantities of each trisphosphate in products/mixtures imported in the calendar years
2006 and 2007;
c) use patterns of each commercial grade trisphosphate/trisphosphate-containing
products;
d) atmospheric monitoring data during use of trisphosphates at workplaces;
e) information on release of chlorinated trisphosphates from articles containing them,
such as furniture, officeware products and interior of automobiles where components
are known to contain trisphosphates;
f) If substitution of trisphosphates has occurred by other chemicals or substitution of one
trisphosphate with another, names of substitutes or the trisphosphate in use.
Importers, manufacturers, formulators and end users of the chemicals listed above play an
important role by providing information. The closing date for provision of information is 4
September 2007. There is a penalty under the Act for non-compliance.
In accordance with section 50 of the Act, the information may be accompanied by an
application that some or all of the information provided be treated as exempt information.
The form for Application for Exempt Information is available on the NICNAS website at
http://www.nicnas.gov.au/Forms/Existing_Chemicals/Form3_Exemption_Information_Word.

A preliminary assessment of trisphosphates was conducted by NICNAS and a report
published in June 2001. The assessment focused on the uses of and potential exposure to
chlorinated trisphosphates in Australia. A copy of the assessment report is available on the
NINCAS website http://www.nicnas.gov.au. Trade names of the chemicals are available in
the report.

The assessment, at that time, found that trisphosphates were mainly used in Australia in the
production of polyurethane flexible and rigid foams. Flexible foams are incorporated into
finished products such as bedding and other soft-furnishing applications. The semi-rigid
foams are used in automobile accessories like sun visors, office furniture and stationary
products. A recommendation in the report was that a full (risk) assessment of chlorinated
trisphosphates be carried out to address public and occupational exposures.

Polymer in Micronal PCM Product
Summary Report
Reference No: PLC/707
BASF Australia Ltd (ABN 62 008 437 867) of Kororoit Creek Road, Altona VIC 3018 has
submitted a polymer of low concern (PLC) notification statement in support of their
application for an assessment certificate for Polymer in Micronal PCM Product. The notified
polymer functions as an external shell making up a microscopic polymer encapsulating a wax
core. The products which use the notified polymer can be employed in conventional building
materials such as plaster, plasterboard, flooring compounds and agricultural paints to boost
their thermal capacity and smooth out temperature fluctuations. Up to 25 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 toxicology data have been provided for the notified polymer, but as it is notified under the
PLC criteria, it can be considered to be of low hazard. The notified polymer is likely to be not
bioavailable and non-toxic, due to its probable very high molecular weight, cross-linking and
water insolubility. The main risk of adverse health effects presented by the notified polymer
is from its small particle size.
Most of the notified polymer in powder from will be in the respirable range (<10 祄). The
health effects of inhalation exposure to the notified polymer are unknown. The notified
polymer is unlikely to be absorbed from the lung, so deposition in the deep lung is probable,
combined with an inability of the lungs to dislodge the particles. Inhaled particulates are
known to interfere with cell function in the airways, causing inflammatory-like reactions.
Therefore, bronchial or pulmonary irritation is possible following inhalation exposure to
particles containing the notified polymer, arising from deposition of water-insoluble particles
in the lung. The US EPA have similarly expressed concern regarding high molecular weight
(70,000 Da or greater) insoluble polymer particles of respirable size, as they can potentially
result in irreversible lung damage.
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
While an environmental endpoint indicates that the notified polymer may be harmful to
aquatic organisms, given the lack of release to the aquatic environment, the notified polymer
is not considered to pose a risk to the environment based on its reported use pattern.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Control Measures
Occupational Health and Safety
? Employers should implement the following engineering controls to minimise
occupational exposure to the notified polymer during the application process where
dust may be generated:
- Use of LEV when handing the notified polymer in powder form
- Application processes should be carried out in spray booths designed to include
the use of LEV
- Avoid the formation of airborne dusts
? Employers should ensure that the following personal protective equipment is used by
workers to minimise occupational exposure to the notified polymer during the
application where dust may be generated:
- Use of a dust mask or respirator (adequate for respirable particle sizes) when
handing notified polymer in powder form
- Use of a mask or respirator (adequate for respirable particle sizes) while cleaning
up dust residues with an industrial vacuum cleaner and emptying and cleaning
of the industrial vacuum cleaner
- Use of gloves, safety goggles and overalls
? In the interest of occupational health and safety, the following guidelines and
precautions should be observed for use of the notified polymer as introduced in
powder form
- The level of atmospheric nuisance dust should be maintained as low as possible.
The ASCC exposure standard for atmospheric dust is 10 mg/m3 (REF).
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.

ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Hazard Assessment
Due to the limited toxicological data for the notified polymer, only eye irritation can be
classified as hazardous in accordance with the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous
Substances [NOHSC:1008(2004)]. The classification and labelling details are:
- R36 Irritating to eyes
Based on the assumption that analogue data are acceptable and indicative of toxicity of the
notified polymer, the following additional classification and labelling should apply:
- R43 May cause sensitisation by skin contact
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
On the basis of the PEC/PNEC ratio, the chemical is not considered to pose a risk to the
environment based on its reported use pattern.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Regulatory Controls
Hazard Classification and Labelling
? The Australian Safety and Compensation Council Chemicals Standards Sub-
committee should consider the following health hazard classification for the notified
polymer:
- R36 Irritating to eyes
? Based on analogue data, the notifier should give the notified polymer the following
additional health hazard classification:
- R43 May cause sensitisation by skin contact
? Use the following risk phrases for products/mixtures containing the notified polymer:
- Conc> 20%: R36, R43
- 1%< conc< 20%: R43
Health Surveillance
As the notified polymer is a potential skin sensitiser, employers should carry out health
surveillance for any worker who has been identified in the workplace risk assessment as
having a significant risk of sensitisation.
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, the dye
solution containing the notified polymer and wet textiles treated with the notified
polymer:
- Avoid skin and eye contact
? Employers should ensure that the following personal protective equipment is used by
workers to minimise occupational exposure during handling of, the notified polymer
as introduced, the dye solution containing the notified polymer and wet textiles
treated with the notified polymer:
- Protective eyewear, chemical resistant industrial clothing and impermeable
gloves;
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 Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous
Substances [NOHSC:1008(2004)], workplace practices and control procedures
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 08, 7 August 2007
65
consistent with provisions of State and Territory hazardous substances legislation
must be in operation.
Disposal
? The notified polymer and chemical waste should be disposed of by incineration.
Emergency procedures
? Spills/release of the notified polymer should be handled by containing the spill and
absorbing the spilled material in absorbent material (eg. sand, earth). Scoop into
labelled containers and seal for appropriate disposal as chemical waste.
Secondary Notification
The Director of NICNAS must be notified in writing within 28 days by the notifier, other
importer or manufacturer:
Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if
- the function or use of the chemical has changed from a processing aid used in the
textile dyeing industry, or is likely to change significantly;
- the amount of chemical being introduced has increased from 30 tonnes per annum,
or is likely to increase, significantly;
- if the chemical has begun to be manufactured in Australia;
- additional information has become available to the person as to an adverse effect
of the chemical on occupational health and safety, public health, or the
environment.
The Director will then decide whether a reassessment (i.e. a secondary notification and
assessment) is required.
No additional secondary notification conditions are stipulated.
