4. FIRST AID MEASURES
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand
03 474 7000).
Inhalation: Remove victim from 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

Material Safety Data Sheet
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 to drink.
Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water. Seek
medical advice.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards: Non-combustible material.
Fire fighting further advice: If involved in a fire may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-contained
breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
Hazchem Code: Not applicable.
Suitable extinguishing media: Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if
unavailable fine water spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wipe up with
absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for
disposal.
LARGE SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and the inhalation of dust. Work up wind
or increase ventilation. Cover with damp absorbent (inert material, sand or soil). Sweep or vacuum up, but
avoid generating dust. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.
Dangerous Goods ?Initial Emergency Response Guide No: Not applicable.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of dust.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible
materials described in Section 10. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for spills.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
National occupational exposure limits:
No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission
(NOHSC Australia).

However for:
TWA STEL CARCINOGEN NOTICES
ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 CATEGORY
1-Methoxy-2-propanol - 360 - - - -
Inspirable dust - 10 - - - -
As published by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC Australia).
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 workday.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All
atmospheric contamination should be kept too 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.
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should
not exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially
exposed during product manufacture.
Biological Limit Values: As per the "National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous
Substances [NOHSC: 1005 (1994)]" the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limits
Allocated.
Engineering measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use
conditions.
Personal protection equipment: OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES, DUST
MASK.
When handling individual retail packs no personal protection equipment is required. Wear overalls, safety
glasses and impervious gloves. Avoid generating and inhaling dusts. If dust exists, wear dust
mask/respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Available information
suggests that gloves made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) should be suitable for intermittent contact.
However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user should make a final
assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated
clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
