Safety Data Sheet
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, wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible precaution to seek medical
advice.
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:
Flammable liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon .
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:
Alcohol resistant foam is the preferred firefighting medium but, if it is not available, normal protein foam can be used.
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 containment and clean up:
Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Slippery 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
This material is a Scheduled Poison S5 and must be stored, maintained and used in accordance with the relevant
regulations.
Product Name: 920-33788 DULUX MINERAL TURPENTINE Issued: 22/04/2010
Substance No: 000011746563 Version: 5

Safety Data Sheet
Conditions for safe storage:
Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Keep
containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour. 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.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
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):
Cumene: 8hr TWA = 125 mg/m3 (25 ppm), 15 min STEL = 375 mg/m3 (75 ppm), Sk
Ethyl benzene: 8hr TWA = 434 mg/m3 (100 ppm), 15 min STEL = 543 mg/m3 (125 ppm)
Mineral turpentine: 8hr TWA = 480 mg/m3
Naphthalene: 8hr TWA = 52 mg/m3 (10 ppm), 15 min STEL = 79 mg/m3 (15 ppm)
Trimethyl benzene: 8hr TWA = 123 mg/m3 (25 ppm)
Xylene (o-, m-, p- isomers): 8hr TWA = 350 mg/m3 (80 ppm), 15 min STEL = 655 mg/m3 (150 ppm)
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission.
No Exposure Standards assigned to other constituents.
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:
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.

Safety Data Sheet
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.
Personal Protection: G - OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES, RESPIRATOR.
Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic
vapour respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Always wash hands before smoking,
eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-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: May be 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.
Inhalation: Material is 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. For ethyl benzene and naphthalene (1) : This material has been classified by the
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Group 2B. Group 2B - The agent is possibly carcinogenic to
humans.
Toxicological Data: No LD50 data available for the product.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Ecotoxicity Avoid contaminating waterways.
Aquatic toxicity: Toxic to aquatic organisms. May cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic
environment.
