4. FIRST AID MEASURES
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone eg. Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0 800 764766) or a doctor.
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. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Skin Contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin and
hair thoroughly with running water. A component of this material can be absorbed through the skin
with resultant toxic effects. Seek immediate medical assistance.
Eye Contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing
until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, give a glass of water to drink. Seek medical advice.
Medical attention Treat symptomatically.
and special
treatment:
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the
products: material, the residual material can burn if ignited. On burning will emit toxic fumes.
Precautions for fire fighters and Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective
special protective equipment: clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
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
Emergency procedures: If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.

Material Safety Data Sheet
Methods and materials for Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to
containment and clean up: prevent skin and eye contact. Avoid 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
Conditions for safe storage: Store in cool place and out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use -
check regularly for leaks.
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour.
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):
2-Butoxyethanol: 8hr TWA = 96.9 mg/m3 (20 ppm), 15 min STEL = 242 mg/m3 (50 ppm), Sk
1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone: 8hr TWA = 103 mg/m3 (25 ppm), 15 min STEL = 309 mg/m3 (75 ppm), Sk
Propane-1,2-diol: total (vapour & particulates): 8hr TWA = 474 mg/m3 (150 ppm)
Triethylamine: 8hr TWA = 8 mg/m3 (2 ppm), 15 min STEL = 17 mg/m3 (4 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.
