1 PROPOSAL TO REMOVE A CHEMICAL FROM THE AUSTRALIAN
INVENTORY OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
The Director of the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme
(NICNAS) has received information on the following chemical which indicates it was
wrongly included the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS):
Chemical Name: 2-Propenoic acid, polymer with [(hexyloxy)methyl]oxirane and
[(octyloxy)methyl]oxirane
CAS Number: 67874-32-2
Information provided to NICNAS demonstrates that this chemical was not correctly
identified at the time of its nomination and the correct identity of the chemical is:
Chemical Name: 2-Propenoic acid, 3-(C8-10-alkyloxy)-2-hydroxypropyl esters
CAS Number: 364059-77-8
The Director, NICNAS, therefore proposes to remove 2-Propenoic acid, polymer with
[(hexyloxy)methyl]oxirane and [(octyloxy)methyl]oxirane from the AICS under section
20AA of the Industrial Chemical (Notifications and Assessment) Act 1989.
This notice is directed to all persons who believe they are introducing or using 2-propenoic
acid, polymer with [(hexyloxy)methyl]oxirane and [(octyloxy)methyl]oxirane (including
products containing it). These persons may give a statement to the Director within three
months of the date of publication of this notice giving reasons as to why the chemical should
not be removed.
For further information contact Dr Venky Krishnamurthy, AICS Manager on 02 8577 8834
or via venky.krishnamurthy@nicnas.gov.au.

If there is a demand, the workshops may be repeated in other states.
Program for each venue:
9.00 - 12 noon ?Morning session: Workshop 1 - Introductory
Half-day ?for new notifiers or those who wish to receive an overview of the New
Chemicals program.
Topics: Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS) searching ?chemical
identity ?exemptions ?annual reporting ?overview of notification and assessment
categories, including new categories.
2.00 - 5.00pm ?Afternoon session: Workshop 2 - Advanced
Half-day ?for new or ongoing/regular notifiers.
Topics: explanation of the use of NICNAS's electronic templates (including a "work
through" demonstration of one permit and one certificate template) 璱nformation about
what happens to your notification when it arrives at NICNAS New Chemicals, new
categories.
Participants can attend either one or both of the Training Workshop sessions.
Per person cost of each session: $120.00 (including lunch) or $200.00 for the entire day
(includes both sessions and lunch).

? The notified chemical should be disposed of by the following: Drums containing
residual levels of the notified polymer should be forwarded to drum recyclers. The
drums should be rinsed with water and the rinsings treated to remove the organic
fraction which is incinerated. Isotanks containing residual levels of the notified
polymer should be cleaned offshore prior to reuse.
Storage
? The following precautions should be taken regarding storage of the notified polymer :
- It is recommended to store the notified polymer away from strong oxidising
agents as a safety precaution.
Emergency procedures
? Spills/release of the notified polymer should be handled as described in the MSDS
method of treatment: collect and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal.
Wash area down with excess water to remove residual material.
? The liquid form of the polymer may present a greater potential for irritant effects If
direct contact with the liquid polymer occurs flush eyes and skin with water and seek
medical attention..
