Safety Data Sheet
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone eg. Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0 800 764766) or a doctor.
Inhalation: Remove victim from area of exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing
and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm.
Keep at rest until fully recovered. If patient finds breathing difficult and develops a bluish
discolouration of the skin (which suggests a lack of oxygen in the blood - cyanosis), ensure airways
are clear of any obstruction and have a qualified person give oxygen through a face mask. Apply
artificial respiration if patient is not breathing. Seek immediate medical advice.
Skin Contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin and
hair thoroughly with running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical
assistance.
Eye Contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing
until advised to stop by the 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 Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion Flammable liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon
products: and oxides of nitrogen .
Precautions for fire fighters and Keep containers cool with water spray. If safe to do so, remove containers from path
special protective equipment: 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: Normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Hazchem Code: 3Y
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures: If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Methods and materials for Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery
containment and clean up: when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent
skin and eye contact and breathing in vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation.
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.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Product Name: 976-63049 FERREKO NO.3 PART B
Substance No: 000013604101 Issued: 14/12/2006 Version: 3
Page 2 of 7
Safety Data Sheet
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour, mists and aerosols. May form
flammable vapour mixtures with air. All potential sources of ignition (open flames, pilot
lights, furnaces, spark producing switches and electrical equipment etc) must be
eliminated both in and near the work area. Do NOT smoke. Flameproof equipment is
necessary in all areas where this chemical is being used. Nearby equipment must be
earthed. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back.
Conditions for safe storage: Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store away from incompatible materials
described in Section 10. Store away from foodstuffs. Keep containers closed when not
in use - check regularly for leaks.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational Exposure Limits:
No value assigned for this specific material by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH).
However, Workplace Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):
Xylene (o-, m-, p-isomers): WES-TWA 50 ppm, 217 mg/m3
As published by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH).
No Exposure Standards assigned to other constituents.
WES - TWA (Workplace Exposure Standard - Time Weighted Average) - The eight-hour, time-weighted average
exposure standard is designed to protect the worker from the effects of long-term exposure.
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:
Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below quoted Exposure
Standards. 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.
Orica Personal Protection Guide No. 1, 1998: H - OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES, GLOVES,
RESPIRATOR.
Wear overalls, chemical goggles and impervious gloves. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear

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).

Safety Data Sheet
Eye contact: An eye irritant.
Skin contact: Contact with skin will result in irritation. A skin sensitiser. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to
allergic contact dermatitis.
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. Breathing in high concentrations
can produce central nervous system depression, which can lead to loss of co-ordination, impaired
judgement and if exposure is prolonged, unconsciousness.
Long Term Effects:
No information available for the product.
