Safety Data Sheet
Eye Contact:
If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by
a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Ingestion:
Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Seek immediate medical
assistance.
Medical attention and special treatment:
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion products:
Combustible liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon and oxides of nitrogen .
Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment:
Keep containers cool with water spray. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Fire fighters to wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Fine water spray, normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures:
If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up:
SMALL SPILLS: Slippery when wet. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wipe up with absorbent (clean rag or paper
towels). Allow absorbent to dry before disposing with normal household garbage.
LARGE SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin
and eye contact. Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material).
Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. Wash area down with excess water.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Classified as a C1 (COMBUSTIBLE LIQUID) for the purpose of storage and handling, in accordance with the
requirements of AS 1940. Refer to State Regulations for storage and transport requirements.
This material is a Scheduled Poison S6 and must be stored, maintained and used in accordance with the relevant
regulations.
Conditions for safe storage:
Store in a well ventilated area away from foodstuffs, oxidising agents and sources of heat or ignition. Keep containers
closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.
Precautions for safe handling:
Keep out of reach of children. Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour.

Safety Data Sheet
Occupational Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and
Safety Commission. However, Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):
1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone: 8hr TWA = 103 mg/m3 (25 ppm), 15 min STEL = 309 mg/m3 (75 ppm), Sk
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission.
TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week
over an entire working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not be
exceeded at any time during a normal eight hour work day. According to current knowledge this concentration should
neither impair the health of, nor cause undue discomfort to, nearly all workers.
`Sk' Notice - absorption through the skin may be a significant source of exposure. The exposure standard is invalidated if
such contact should occur.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering controls:
Use in well ventilated areas. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. DO NOT enter
confined spaces where vapour may have collected. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
The selection of PPE is dependant on a detailed risk assessment. The risk assessment should consider the work
situation, the physical form of the chemical, the handling methods, and environmental factors.
Selleys Factory Safe Handling Code: Blue
MANUFACTURE, PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT: Blue - Wear overalls (or 'issued' long pants and long sleeve tops),
safety boots, gloves and face shield or chemical goggles. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using
the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use.
If risk of inhalation exists, wear organic vapour respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.
FOR CONSUMER USE: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands after use.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the product
label. Symptoms or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
Ingestion: Swallowing can result in nausea, vomiting and central nervous system depression. If
the victim is showing signs of central system depression (like those of drunkeness)
there is greater likelihood of the patient breathing in vomit and causing damage to
the lungs. Breathing in vomit may lead to aspiration pneumonia (inflammation of the
lung).
Eye contact: An eye irritant.
Skin contact: Contact with skin will result in irritation. Will have a degreasing action on the skin.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to irritant contact dermatitis.
Component/s of this material can be absorbed through the skin with resultant toxic
effects.
Inhalation: Material may be irritant to the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract (airways).
Breathing in vapour can result in headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and possible
nausea.
