13 PUBLICATION SUMMARY REPORT
Solsperse HPA-4
Summary Report
Reference No: EX/38
Orica Australia Pty Ltd of 1 Nicholson Street Melbourne VIC 3000 has submitted a limited
notification statement in support of their application for an assessment certificate for
Solsperse HPA-4. The notified polymer is a polymeric dispersant in automotive and
industrial paints, and packaging gravure inks. Less than 10.6 tonnes of the notified chemical
will be imported per annum for the first five years. The polymer was assessed as NA/726,
assessment certificate number: 000906 (date, 31 August 1999).
Since granting of the abovementioned Assessment Certificate, Sericol Australia Pty Ltd
(ABN No. 66 075 733 069) of 4 Coronation Avenue, Kings Park, NSW 2148 has submitted a
notification statement in support of their application for an extension of the original
Assessment Certificate for Solsperse HPA-4/Solsperse 32000. Orica Australia Pty Ltd has
agreed to this extension.
Information submitted by Sericol Australia Pty Ltd pertains to the introduction of the notified
polymer for use as a component in packaging gravure inks. The end use products will be
distributed nation wide. Sericol Australia Pty Ltd will be importing 0.6 tonne per year.
ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Hazard Assessment
Solsperse HPA-4 showed low acute oral toxicity in rats, was a slight eye and skin irritant in
rabbits, but was not a skin sensitiser in guinea pigs. In a bacterial reverse mutation assay, the
notified polymer was not mutagenic. The acute dermal toxicity of the notified polymer is not
known, but expected to be low considering the high molecular weight and low acute oral
toxicity. Solsperse HPA-4 would not be classified as a hazardous substance according to
NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances.
Solsperse HPA-4 will be imported into Australia in a variety of preparations. Considering
the known solvents, Solvesso 100 and methoxy propyl acetate are on the NOHSC List of
Designated Hazardous Substances. Solsperse 32600 contains 60% Solvesso 100. Solvesso
100 (solvent naphtha [petroleum] light aromatic, CAS no. 64742-95-6) has a cut-off
concentration of 0.1% for toxic effects. It contains R45(2) (May cause cancer, carcinogen
category 2) and R65 (Harmful: May cause lung damage if swallowed). Methoxy propyl
acetate (2-methoxy-1-methylethyl acetate, CAS no. 108-65-6) has the risk phrases R10
(Flammable) and R36 (Irritating to eyes), and a cut-off concentration of 20% for irritation
effects. The MSDS for all the preparations were provided for assessment and list a number
of potential health effects, namely skin, eye and respiratory irritation, headache, dizziness,
nausea, central nervous system depression, loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement, and
even unconsciousness. Health effects relate mainly to solvents and additives, rather than the
notified polymer, and are considered to outweigh any health effects associated with the
notified chemical.

Occupational Health and Safety
Transport and storage
There should be no occupational exposure to the notified polymer during transport and
storage of the preparations and products as long as the packaging remains intact. Therefore
the health risk due to the notified polymer to the transport and storage workers is low.
Preparations containing Solsperse HPA-4 and formulated paint and ink products are Class 3
dangerous goods and regulated under the ADG Code.
Paint and ink formulation
Workers at paint and ink formulation sites may handle mixtures containing up to 50% of the
notified chemical. However, as the mixing and filling process are enclosed, exposure will be
controlled and therefore the risk of adverse effects is low. Personal protective equipment
such as overalls, gloves and goggles or spectacles should be worn to protect against solvent
contamination.
Paint application
The final paint mix, including the paint products containing the notified polymer, could
contain a wide variety of additional ingredients once fully mixed. This is likely to introduce
human health hazards arising from ingredients such as potentially toxic solvents. The
spraying procedure also produces a dense aerosol of paint particles which would adversely
affect human health even in the absence of additional hazardous components. Although no
aerosol of paint particles will be generated in the cases of roller coating and dipping,
inhalation exposure is possible if volatile solvents are used.
For these reasons, the notified polymer is assessed for the contribution it makes to the hazards
associated with use of the paints. The presence of many potential and actual hazardous
substances in the formulations requires the use of stringent engineering controls, such as a
correctly constructed and maintained spray booth, and a high level of personal protective
equipment, such as impermeable overalls, gloves and a full face shield and respirator. The
level of protection from exposure afforded by the standard protective measures will provide
adequate protection from the notified polymer, which is likely to be less intrinsically toxic
than most of the solvents, pigments and other paint resins.
The use of spray paint containing the notified polymer should be in accordance with the
NOHSC Draft National Code of Practice for Spray Painting.
Once the applied final paint mix has hardened, the polymer will not be separately available
for exposure or absorption.
There are NOHSC exposure standards for ethyl acetate and butyl acetate, identified as
ingredients in the preparations of the notified polymer. The employer is responsible for
ensuring that these exposure standards, and exposure standards pertaining to other final paint
mix additives, are not exceeded in the workplace.
Paint containing the notified polymer are flammable due to their solvent content. Precautions
must be taken to avoid sources of ignition, e.g. use of earthing leads. Operators should wear
antistatic overalls and footwear.
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 12,3 December 2002
35
Similar considerations apply in the disposal of the polymer. The wastes containing the
notified polymer may be hazardous substances on the basis of the solvent and other resin
content, and the precautions used on the basis of these additional materials should be
adequate for protection from the notified polymer. In addition, much of the polymer will be
crosslinked, hardened and immobilised by the time of disposal.
Ink application
Ink application involves the use of flexographic printing units which are automatically
operated. However, workers may be exposed to the notified polymer daily during transfer of
ink products from drums to the ink trough, especially if transfer is manual. Equipment
cleaners will have frequent exposure to the polymer, however, given the low concentration
and low toxicity, the risk of adverse health effects arising from exposure is low. Once fixed
to the paint matrix, the notified chemical will not be separately available for exposure or
absorption.
Solvent emissions at ink application sites must be controlled by local exhaust ventilation and
workers should wear overalls, safety glasses and protective gloves. The selection of gloves
should be those most resistant to the solvent used in ink printing.
Public Health
As the notified polymer is used within the paint and ink industry and public exposure is
expected to be very low, it is considered that the notified chemical will not pose a significant
hazard to public health when used in the proposed manner.
Environmental Effects
The polymer will be used as a pigment dispersant in the manufacture of paints, up to a
concentration of 10 %, to be used in automotive repairs and industrial applications and in
packaging gravure inks.
Once the coating (paint or ink) is applied, the polymer will be incorporated in an inert film
and consequently should not present a hazard. Any chips, flakes or fragments formed by
mistreatment or general wear and tear will be inert. The paint will slowly deteriorate due to
exposure to UV light and the other elements, but this will be insignificant.
The solid waste generated in the manufacturing (approximately 200 kg/year) and application
of the coating (approximately 2 tonnes/year) will be disposed to landfill. The polymer is
unlikely to leach from landfill due to its low water solubility, its potential affinity for soil and
due to the fact that the majority of the polymer will be present within a cured inert coating
matrix.
The final fate of the applied polymer will be the same as the coated article, ie either recycled
or landfilled. During the recycling process the coating (incorporating the polymer) will either
be removed and become part of a solid/sludge waste that will go to landfill or incineration, or
it will be destroyed in a process such smelting.

RECOMMENDATIONS
To minimise occupational exposure to Solsperse HPA-4 the following guidelines and
precautions should be observed:
For spray painting workers:
Handling the paint containing the notified chemical should be in accordance with the
?br>
NOHSC Draft National Code of Practice for Spray Painting including the use of
safety goggles, respirators, industrial clothing, impermeable gloves or mittens and
occupational footwear;
For other workers:
Safety goggles should be selected and fitted in accordance with Australian Standard
?br>
(AS) 1336 to comply with Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 1337;
Respirator should be selected and fitted in accordance with AS/NZS 1716 and 1715;
?br>
Industrial clothing should conform to the specifications detailed in AS 2919 and AS
?br>
3765.1;
Impermeable gloves should conform to AS/NZS 2161.2;
?br>
All occupational footwear should conform to AS/NZS 2210;
?br>
Spillage of the notified chemical should be avoided. Spillages should be cleaned up
?br>
promptly with absorbents which should be put into containers for disposal;
Good personal hygiene should be practised to minimise the potential for ingestion;
?br>
A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees;
?br>
Employers should ensure the NOHSC exposure standards for ethyl acetate and butyl
?br>
acetate will not be exceeded in the workplace.
If the conditions of use are varied from the notified use, greater exposure of the public may
occur. In such circumstances, further information may be required to assess the hazards to
public health.

14 PUBLICATION SUMMARY REPORT
MLT-8723
Summary Report
Reference No: EX/39
Lexmark International (Australia) Pty Limited of 12A Rodborough Road, Frenchs Forest,
NSW 2086 has submitted a notification statement in support of their application for an
extension of the Assessment Certificate for MLT-8723. The notified chemical will be used as
a component of colour toner products ready for use in electrostatic photocopying systems. It
will be imported at a rate of less than 10 tonnes per year by the fifth year.
The original assessment certificate is held by Minolta Business Equipment Australia Pty Ltd
of Unit 9, 372 Eastern Valley Way Chatswood NSW 2067 and Kyocera Mita Australia Pty
Ltd of Level 3, 6-10 Talavera Road North Ryde NSW 2113 (formerly Mita Copiers Australia
Pty Ltd of 25 Sirius Road Lane Cove NSW 2066) respectively. Minolta Business Equipment
Australia Pty Ltd and Kyocera Mita Australia Pty Ltd have both agreed to this extension.
Some new information on the new chemical has been submitted by Innovative Office
Technologies Pty Ltd (Invatech) and Pitney Bowes Australia Pty Ltd since the original
notification statement submitted by Minolta Business Equipment Australia Pty Ltd and
Kyocera Mita Australia Pty Ltd in matters affecting volume, concentration and packaging.
These have led to slight modifications to the occupational exposure and occupational health
and safety effects sections. The original summary report is republished below with
amendments for public record.
ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC, OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS
Minolta Business Equipment Australia Pty Ltd and Mita Copiers Australia Pty Ltd
Toxicological studies suggest that the notified polymer would not be acutely toxic via the oral
or inhalation routes, would not be irritating to skin or eyes, would not be a skin sensitiser and
would not be genotoxic. As the toners containing the notified chemical at greater than 90%
were used in these studies, the other components of the toners also are unlikely to present a
hazard in terms of these endpoints. The notified polymer would not be classified as hazardous
according to the Approved Criteria in terms of the toxicological data provided.
Exposure to toner containing the notified polymer during transport and handling of containers
should not result in exposure except in the event of an accident.
Exposure of office workers will potentially occur when toner is recharged. Spillage is
possible when the bottle in which the toner is imported is screwed into a hopper after it is
removed from the photocopier. It is possible that some dermal and inhalation exposure may
occur. As photocopiers are expected to be installed in well-ventilated areas dust build up in
the atmosphere from machine operation or toner spillage should be low.
Dermal exposure of workers to toner residues is possible during routine maintenance but is
expected to be low unless spillage occurs.
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 12,3 December 2002
38
It is concluded that the risk of adverse health effects to workers involved in transport, storage,
use or disposal of the notified polymer is minimal. Similarly, the risk of public health effects
is also considered to be minimal.
Lexmark International (Australia) Pty Limited
The toner imported by the applicants for Extension will be contained within photocopier
cartridges and will contain approximately 35% notified chemical. Due to containment in a
cartridge and the lower percentage content, exposure and therefore risk to workers handling
the notified chemical introduced by the applicants for Extensions is likely to be less than that
by the original applicants.
RECOMMENDATIONS
To minimise occupational exposure to the notified polymer the following guidelines and
precautions should be observed:
Spillage of the notified chemical should be avoided; spillage should be cleaned up
?br>
promptly using a vacuum cleaner and disposed of;
The NOHSC exposure standard for nuisance dusts of 10 mg.m-3 should be adhered to;
?br>
Good personal hygiene should be practised to minimise the potential for secondary
?br>
ingestion;
A copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet should be easily accessible to employees.
?br>
REQUIREMENTS FOR SECONDARY NOTIFICATION
Under the Act, secondary notification of the notified chemical shall be required if any of the
circumstances stipulated under subsection 64(2) of the Act arise. No other specific
conditions are prescribed.

20 THE FIFTEENTH OECD SIDS INITIAL ASSESSMENT MEETING (SIAM)
The fifteenth OECD SIDS Initial Assessment Meeting (SIAM) was sponsored by the US
EPA and held at Boston from the 22 to 25 October 2002. Approximately 85 representatives
from member countries, WHO, an Environmental Organisation and industry attended the
meeting. The health and environmental hazards of a number of industrial chemicals were
discussed at the meeting. NICNAS participation at these meetings allows access to hazard
assessment reports conducted by other countries. Availability to NICNAS of these reports
enables a NICNAS assessment to focus on exposure to the chemical in Australia without the
need to review original toxicity studies for hazard evaluation.
Thirty-nine chemicals and testing plans for 4 groups of chemicals were listed for discussion
at SIAM 15. Of the 39 chemicals on the agenda 33 had SIDS Initial Assessment Profiles
(SIAPs) agreed at the meeting. The recommendations in the SIAPs relate to whether the
SIDS data set is complete and whether the chemical is a candidate for further work. The
assessments of 6 chemicals could not be finalised at the meeting.
The chemicals discussed and their status at the conclusion of the meeting are listed in the
