4. FIRST AID MEASURES
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand
0800 764 766).
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
until fully recovered. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have a
qualified person give oxygen through a facemask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at
once. In the event of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage. Seek immediate medical advice.
Skin contact: For gross contamination, immediately drench with water and remove clothing. Continue to
flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and soap if material is insoluble). For skin burns, cover with a clean,
dry dressing until medical help is available. If blistering occurs, do NOT break blisters. If swelling, redness,
blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.
Eye contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eyes continuously with running water. Continue
flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a Doctor; or for at least 15 minutes and
transport to Doctor or Hospital.
Ingestion: Immediately 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 immediate medical advice.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically. Delayed pulmonary oedema may result.

Toluene 100 377 150 565 - Sk
n-Hexane 50 176 - - - -
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.
`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 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 Limit Allocated.
Engineering measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing
appropriate respirator. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal protection equipment: OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES, GLOVES,
RESPIRATOR.
Wear overalls, chemical goggles and impervious gloves. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk
exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS
1716. Available information suggests that gloves made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 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.

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:
Acute Effects
Inhalation: Material is irritant to mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Inhalation of vapour can result in
headaches, dizziness and possible nausea. Inhalation of high concentrations can produce central nervous
system depression, which can lead to loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement and if exposure is
prolonged, unconsciousness.
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.
Eye contact: An eye irritant.
Ingestion: Swallowing can result in nausea, vomiting and central nervous system depression. If the victim
is uncoordinated there is greater likelihood of vomit entering the lungs and causing subsequent
complications.
Long Term Effects: No information available for product.
Acute toxicity / Chronic toxicity
No LD50 data available for the product. However, for the constituent:
Toluene
Oral LD50 (rat): 636 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 (rabbit): 14,100 uL/kg
Product name: Aftek Spraygrip
Issued: 1 August 2008 Page: 5 of 9
Material Safety Data Sheet
SKIN: (Draize): Mild to moderate irritant
EYES: (Draize): Mild to moderate irritant
The major effects in humans following acute exposure to high concentrations (such as in deliberate
sniffing or industrial accidents) are central nervous system dysfunction and narcosis.
Under controlled conditions, inhalation of 50, 75 or 100 ppm of toluene for 4 to 6 hours was associated
with headache and irritation. There are also numerous reports of altered central nervous system
performance among humans inhaling 40 ppm to more than 100 ppm.
Both bioassay tests and other available data (including two human studies) indicate that toluene is not
carcinogenic.
Based on available in-vivo data, studies of humans are inconclusive with regard to genotoxicity, while
most in-vitro studies indicate negative results for toluene.
While there have been some reported developmental effects in experimental animal testing involving
toluene, studies do not provide evidence that toluene is teratogenic following inhalation.
Acetone
Oral LD50 (rat): 5,800-8,393 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 (rabbit): >15,688 (no deaths recorded)
Inhalation LC50 (rat): 50.1 mg/l/8 hr
Inhalation LC50 (rat): 76.0 mg/l/4 hr
EYES (rabbit): Redness of conjunctiva - 2.3
100uL of acetone was applied to six New Zealand white albino rabbits according to a modified draize
test. Overall the results show that acetone is a mild eye irritant.
Subjects exposed to vapour concentrations of 500-1000 ppm experienced irritation to the eyes.
Vapour concentrations above 500 ppm are irritating to the nose and throat. Higher concentrations above
1000 ppm have resulted in narcotic effects.
n-Hexane
Oral LD50 (rat): 15-30 mg/kg
Toxicological data suggest that methyl ethyl ketone interacts with and enhances the neurotoxicity of n-
hexane in the body. n-Hexane is metabolised to the neurotoxic metabolites 2,5-hexanedione and 2,5-
hexanediol.
Exposure to n-hexane air concentrations varying from as little as 30 up to 2,500 ppm has been reported
to result in clinically overt neuropathy. A rapid onset may occur particularly if exposure has been to high
air concentrations for periods in excess of eight hours per day, in most cases a gradual onset has been
noted.
Cases of peripheral neuropathy have been reported amongst Japanese sandal workers and Taiwanese
press proofers exposed to n-hexane levels of approximately 50 and 100 ppm respectively for periods in
excess of 8 hours per day.
Several cross sectional studies have independently reported mild sub-clinical effects in workers exposed
to 20-100 ppm n-hexane. No clear cases of clinically overt peripheral neuropathy were identified in any
of these studies at exposures of less than 100ppm n-hexane.
