ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Treat symptomatically
5. Fire-fighting measures
Special protective precautions and equipment for fire fighters:
Wear full protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus.
Keep storage tanks cool with water spray as they may explode from heat of fire.
Fire / Explosion hazards: Product is highly flammable. Isolate from sources of heat, naked
flames, sparks and strong oxidising materials. Take precautions against static electricity
discharges. Earth and bond all process equipment including tanks or drums. Ensure adequate
ventilation to prevent an explosive vapour-air mixture. Vapours will travel considerable
distances to sources of ignition and flash back. Remove sources of re-ignition.
Suitable extinguishing media:
Use foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers. Do NOT use water jets.
Hazards from combustion products:
Oxides of carbon and magnesium.
6. Accidental release measures
Emergency procedures:
Evacuate area of all unnecessary people. Extinguish or remove all sources of ignition and shut
off source of leak if safe to do so. Increase ventilation. Wear full protective equipment and
clothing to minimise exposure.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up:
Contain the spill with inert, non combustible, absorbent material. Do NOT use combustible
materials such as sawdust. Using non-sparking tools and equipment; collect the material and
place into a suitable labelled and sealed container.
Conform to all local, state or federal regulations and guidelines for waste disposal. Do not
flush or allow spillage to enter into drains; sewers or watercourses- inform the local authority
and the Environmental Protection Authority if this occurs.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Use only in a well ventilated area. Open containers cautiously as contents may be under
pressure.
Build up of mists or vapours in the atmosphere must be prevented. Avoid inhalation of
vapours.

Version 0
DO NOT store or use in confined spaces. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. Do not
enter these areas until atmosphere has been checked. Do not use near ignition sources.
Repeated or prolonged exposure with no personal protection should be avoided in order to
lessen the possibility of disorders.
It is essential that all who come into contact with this material maintain high standards of
personal hygiene
i.e. washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or going to the toilet.
Misuse of empty containers can be hazardous. Do not pressurise, cut, weld, heat or drill empty
containers
as they may contain dangerous residues. Residue may ignite with explosive violence if heated
sufficiently.
Keep empty containers closed with bung in place.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in a dry, cool, well ventilated area, away from ignition sources, heat, strong oxidising
agents, foodstuffs and clothing. Keep containers closed when not in use and protected against
physical damage.
Inspect regularly for damage or leaks.
Take precautions against static electricity discharges. Use proper grounding procedures. Have
appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near areas of storage and handling.
Reference should be made to all local, state and federal regulations as well as Australian
Standards AS1940- The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids.
8. Exposure controls and personal protection
No National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) exposure standards are
assigned for this product. However exposure standards for constituents are listed below. As
with all chemicals, exposure should be maintained to the least possible levels.
NOHSC exposure standards:
Toluene: *TWA 50ppm (191mg/m?; *STEL 150ppm (574mg/m?
Hexane other isomers: *TWA 500ppm (1760mg/m?; *STEL 1000ppm (3500mg/m?
n-Hexane: *TWA 20ppm (72mg/m?; STEL None allocated
* As listed on the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission's: National Exposure
Standards Database.
Biological limit values:
No biological limit values are available for this product.
Engineering controls:
The working environment must be adequately ventilated to maintain air concentrations to a
minimum and below exposure limits especially where vapours or mists are generated;
particularly in enclosed areas where natural ventilation is inadequate. A flame proof exhaust
ventilation system or an approved respirator is recommended depending on assessment of
local working environment.

Product vapour is heavier than air and will collect at low levels. Hence, ventilate by extraction
at low levels.
For further information concerning ventilation, refer to:
AS 1940 ?The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids &
AS 2430 ?Explosive gas atmospheres.
Personal protective equipment:
Respiratory type: Approved respirators may be necessary to prevent over
exposure by inhalation. Available information suggests that an
approved respirator with organic vapour filter may be suitable
however will vary according to individual circumstances i.e.
actual airborne concentrations in local working environment.
Hence the user should make the final assessment. Expert
advice may be required to make this decision.
Refer to AS/NZS 1715 - Selection, use & maintenance of
respiratory protective devices and AS/NZS 1716- Respiratory
Protective Devices.
Glove type: Impervious gloves recommended. Due to variations in glove
construction and individual circumstances, the user should
make a final assessment. Expert advice should be sought.
Refer to AS/NZS 2161 Occupational protective gloves-
Selection, use and maintenance.
Eye protection: To prevent eye contact, wear safety glasses, chemical goggles
or face shield
as appropriate. Refer to AS/NZS 1337-Eye protectors for
industrial applications.
Clothing: Wear impervious protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
Discard or wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Other: Subsequent to handling product, do not eat or drink until after
washing hands thoroughly.

11. Toxicological information
Health effects from the likely routes of exposure:
Acute
Ingestion:
Ingestion may result in gastrointestinal irritation, in particular nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting
and diarrhoea. Ingestion may also lead to aspiration of material into the lungs and central
nervous system (CNS) depression. CNS effects include dizziness, drowsiness, confusion,
headache, muscular weakness and loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposure to a large
quantity can ultimately lead to coma and possibly death.
Eye:
Eye contact and solvent vapour may cause moderate eye irritation. Symptoms may include
redness, pain, stinging, tearing or swelling.
Skin:
Skin contact or solvent vapour will cause irritation including itching, redness or rash.
Prolonged and repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking resulting in dermatitis.
Inhalation:

MJS 102 Super Contact Adhesive
Version 0
Harmful by inhalation. Product vapour may also cause respiratory irritation. Symptoms of
overexposure may include fatigue, headache, dizziness, shortness of breath and possible
nausea. Very high concentrations of product vapour may cause central nervous system
depression which can lead to loss of coordination, impaired judgement, and if exposure is
prolonged, unconsciousness and death.
Chronic
Prolonged and repeated exposure through inhalation, ingestion or skin contact may result in
harmful effects including central nervous system depression. Systemic effects of chronic
exposure may also include damage to kidneys and liver especially where exposure is
repeated and prolonged with no personal protection. Excessive skin exposure may also result
in irritation leading to dermatitis.
Other toxicological information:
Repeated inhalation of n-hexane may have effects on the central nervous system and especially the
peripheral nervous system, resulting in polyneuropathy. Cessation of exposure is not immediately
followed by improvement
and symptoms may progress. Final recovery will depend on the severity of the intoxication and may
not necessarily be complete. Animal tests have also shown that this substance possibly causes toxic
effects upon human reproduction. The n hexane contained in this product is below health hazard
concentration cut-offs; however exposure should be reduced to the least possible levels.
Studies on pregnant animals have shown that Toluene has caused developmental toxicity to
their unborn.
Although there has been no official link, it is advised that as a precaution, pregnant women be
prohibited
from the use of this product.
