--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWALLOWED
---------
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down
position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced
awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as
casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.
EYE
---
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
Immediately hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running
water.
Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
----
If solids or aerosol mists are deposited upon the skin:
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Remove any adhering solids with industrial skin cleansing cream.
DO NOT use solvents.
Seek medical attention in the event of irritation.
INHALED
-------
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed,
where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve
resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if
necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
------------------
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related
hydrocarbons:
Page 2
Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or
inhalation, is respiratory failure.
Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g.
cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen.
Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm
Hg) should be intubated.
Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and
electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported;
intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously
symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that
hyperventilation improves clearance.
A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and
circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm
because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled
cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred
agents, with aminophylline a second choice.
Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of
cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical
Toxicology].

INGREDIENT DATA
ALKYD RESIN - UNREGULATED:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
N-HEXANE:
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
Odour Threshold Value: 65 ppm
NOTE: Detector tubes for n-hexane, measuring in excess of 100 ppm, are
available commercially.
Occupational polyneuropathy may result from exposures as low as 500 ppm
(as hexane), whilst nearly continuous exposures of 250 ppm have caused
neurotoxic effects in animals. Many literature reports have failed to
distinguish hexane from n-hexane and on the assumption that the
commercial hexane contains 30% n-hexane, a worst case recommendation for
TLV is assumed to reduce the risk of peripheral neuropathies (due to the
metabolites 2,5-heptanedione and 3,6-octanedione) and other adverse
neuropathic effects.
Concurrent exposure to chemicals (including MEK) and drugs which induce
hepatic liver oxidative metabolism can reduce the time for neuropathy
to appear.
ACETONE:
Odour Threshold Value: 3.6 ppm (detection), 699 ppm (recognition)
Saturation vapour concentration: 237000 ppm @ 20 C
NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 40 ppm, are available.
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to protect the
worker against mild irritation associated with brief exposures and the
bioaccumulation, chronic irritation of the respiratory tract and headaches
associated with long-term acetone exposures. The NIOSH REL-TWA is
substantially lower and has taken into account slight irritation
experienced by volunteer subjects at 300 ppm. Mild irritation to
acclimatised workers begins at about 750 ppm - unacclimatised subjects
will experience irritation at about 350-500 ppm but acclimatisation can
occur rapidly. Disagreement between the peak bodies is based largely on
the view by ACGIH that widespread use of acetone, without evidence of
significant adverse health effects at higher concentrations, allows
acceptance of a higher limit.
Half-life of acetone in blood is 3 hours which means that no adjustment
for shift-length has to be made with reference to the standard 8 hour/day,
40 hours per week because body clearance occurs within any shift with low
potential for accumulation.
A STEL has been established to prevent excursions of acetone vapours that
could cause depression of the central nervous system.
WHITE SPIRIT:
Low and high odour thresholds of 5.25 and 157.5 mg/m? respectively, were
considered to provide a rather useful index of odour as a warning property.
The TLV-TWA is calculated from data on the toxicities of the major ingredients
and is intended to minimise the potential for irritative and narcotic effects,
polyneuropathy and kidney damage produced by vapours.
The NIOSH (USA) REL-TWA of 60 ppm is the same for all refined petroleum
solvents. NIOSH published an occupational "action level" of 350 mg/m?for
exposure to Stoddard solvent, assuming a 10-hour work shift and a 40-hour
work-week. The NIOSH-REL ceiling of 1800 mg/m?was established to protect
workers from short-term effects that might produce vertigo or other adverse
effects which might increase the risk of occupational accidents. Combined
(gross) percutaneous absorption and inhalation exposure (at concentrations
associated with nausea) are thought, by some, to be responsible for the
development of frank hepatic toxicity and jaundice.
NAPHTHA PETROLEUM, LIGHT AROMATIC SOLVENT:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.
REL TWA: 25-100 ppm*, 125 mg/m? [Various Manufacturers]
CEL TWA: 50 ppm, 125 mg/m?br>
TOLUENE:
Exposure limits with "skin" notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be
absorbed through intact skin. Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour
inhalation exposure. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for
Page 6
inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to
overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard.
Odour Threshold Value: 0.16-6.7 (detection), 1.9-69 (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 5 ppm, are available.
High concentrations of toluene in the air produce depression of the
central nervous system (CNS) in humans. Intentional toluene exposure
(glue-sniffing) at maternally-intoxicating concentration has also produced
birth defects. Foetotoxicity appears at levels associated with CNS
narcosis and probably occurs only in those with chronic toluene-induced
kidney failure. Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought
to prevent transient headache and irritation, to provide a measure of
safety for possible disturbances to human reproduction, the prevention of
reductions in cognitive responses reported amongst humans inhaling
greater than 40 ppm, and the significant risks of hepatotoxic, behavioural
and nervous system effects (including impaired reaction time and
incoordination). Although toluene/ethanol interactions are well
recognised, the degree of protection afforded by the TLV-TWA among
drinkers is not known.
HYDROCARBON PROPELLANT:
PERSONAL PROTECTION
-------------------
EYE
Safety glasses with side shields; or as required,
Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and
concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens
or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This
should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of
chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be
readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation
immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be
removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed
in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC
NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
HANDS/FEET
Wear general protective gloves, eg. light weight rubber gloves.
OTHER
Overalls.

* Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent basis,
factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may dictate a choice
of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following long-term or frequent
use. A qualified practitioner should be consulted.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of
breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant.
Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the
mask) may also be important.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS
--------------------
Use in a well-ventilated area.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear SAA approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to
obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed
storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying
"escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture velocities" of fresh
circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., 0.25-0.5 m/s (50-100 f/min)
evaporating from tank (in still air)
aerosols, fumes from pouring 0.5-1 m/s (100-200 f/min.)
operations, intermittent container
filling, low speed conveyer transfers,
welding, spray drift, plating acid
fumes, pickling (released at low
velocity into zone of active
generation)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow 1-2.5 m/s (200-500 f/min)
booths, drum filling, conveyer loading,
crusher dusts, gas discharge (active
generation into zone of rapid air
motion)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, 2.5-10 m/s (500-2000 f/min.)
high speed wheel generated dusts
(released at high initial velocity into
zone of very high rapid air motion).
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range
1: Room air currents minimal or 1: Disturbing room air currents
favourable to capture
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
nuisance value only
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in 4: Small hood - local control only
motion
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the
opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases with the
square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the
air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted, accordingly, after
Page 8
reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the
extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of 1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min.) for
extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction
point. Other mechanical considerations, producing performance deficits within
the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are
multiplied by factors of 10 or more when extraction systems are installed or
used.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
------------------------
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
--------------------
SWALLOWED
Overexposure is unlikely in this form.
The liquid is highly discomforting and harmful if swallowed Ingestion may result
in nausea, pain, vomiting. Vomit entering the lungs by aspiration may cause
potentially lethal chemical pneumonitis.
EYE
The liquid produces a high level of eye discomfort and is capable of causing
pain and severe conjunctivitis. Corneal injury may develop, with possible
permanent impairment of vision, if not promptly and adequately treated.
The vapour is discomforting to the eyes.
The vapour when concentrated has pronounced eye irritation effects and this
gives some warning of high vapour concentrations. If eye irritation occurs seek
to reduce exposure with available control measures, or evacuate area.
Page 9
The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced
inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce
conjunctivitis.
SKIN
The liquid is highly discomforting to the skin.
if exposure is prolonged and is capable of causing skin reactions which may lead
to dermatitis.
Toxic effects may result from skin absorption.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and
may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the production of vesicles,
scaling and thickening of the skin.
INHALED
The vapour is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract and lungs.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures.
Inhalation of high concentrations of gas/vapour causes lung irritation with
coughing and nausea, central nervous depression with headache and dizziness,
slowing of reflexes, fatigue and inco-ordination.
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead
to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.
Inhalation of vapour may aggravate a pre-existing respiratory condition such as
asthma, bronchitis, emphysema.
WARNING:Intentional misuse by concentrating/inhaling contents may be lethal.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact. with the material and
inhalation of vapour/spray mist. Chronic solvent inhalation exposures may result
in nervous system impairment and liver and blood changes. [PATTYS]. Prolonged or
continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying,
cracking, irritation and dermatitis following. WARNING: Aerosol containers may
present pressure related hazards. As with any chemical product, contact with
unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust in work place
atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good
occupational work practice.

The lower molecular weight hydrocarbons are expected to form a "slick" on the
surface of waters after release in calm sea conditions. This is expected to
evaporate and enter the atmosphere where it will be degraded through reaction
with hydroxy radicals.
Some of the material will become associated with benthic sediments, and it is
likely to be spread over a fairly wide area of sea floor. Marine sediments may
be either aerobic or anaerobic. The material, in probability, is biodegradable,
under aerobic conditions (isomerised olefins and alkenes show variable results).
Evidence also suggests that the hydrocarbons may be degradable under anaerobic
conditions although such degradation in benthic sediments may be a relatively
slow process.
Under aerobic conditions the material will degrade to water and carbon dioxide,
while under anaerobic processes it will produce water, methane and carbon
dioxide.
Based on test results, as well as theoretical considerations, the potential for
bioaccumulation may be high. Toxic effects are often observed in species such as
blue mussel, daphnia, freshwater green algae, marine copepods and amphipods.

In air, acetone is lost by photolysis and reaction with photochemically
produced hydroxyl radicals; the estimated half-life of these combined
processes is about 22 days. The relatively long half-life allows acetone
to be transported long distances from its emission source.
Acetone is highly soluble and slightly persistent in water, with a
half-life of about 20 hours; it is minimally toxic to aquatic life.
Acetone released to soil volatilises although some may leach into the
ground where it rapidly biodegrades.
Acetone does not concentrate in the food chain.
