Material Safety Data Sheet
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, 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, give a glass of water to drink. Seek medical advice.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Specific Hazards: Non-combustible material.
Fire-fighting advice: Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the
material, the residual material can burn if ignited. Fire fighters to wear self-contained
breathing apparatus and suitable protective 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
SMALL SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Collect in a container for disposal via special
chemical waste collection.
LARGE SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. 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
Handling advice: Keep out of reach of children. Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact.
Storage advice: Store in cool place and out of direct sunlight. Keep containers closed when not in use - check
regularly for leaks.
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 = 121 mg/m3 (25 ppm), Sk
Triethylamine: 8hr TWA = 12 mg/m3 (3 ppm), 15 min STEL = 20 mg/m3 (5 ppm)
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission.

Material Safety Data Sheet
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 or, not 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.
Engineering Control Measures:
Provide adequate ventilation. If using indoors, keep windows and doors open during use. Keep containers closed
when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Orica Personal Protection Guide No.1,1998: NOT IN USE
If there is a risk of eye contact, repeated or prolonged skin contact or inhalation wear gloves, safety glasses and a
respirator. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other
protective equipment before storage or re-use.

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:
Ingestion: No adverse effects expected, however, large amounts may cause nausea and vomiting.
Eye contact: May be an eye irritant.
Skin contact: Contact with skin may result in irritation. Component/s of this material can be absorbed through the skin
with resultant toxic effects.
Inhalation: Where this material is used in a poorly ventilated area, at elevated temperatures or in confined spaces,
vapour may cause irritation to mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, headache and nausea.
Long Term Effects:
No information available for the product.
Toxicological Data:
No LD50 data available for the product.
The components in the proportions present are not considered to present a hazard under conditions of good occupational
work practice.
12. Ecotoxicological information
Avoid contaminating waterways.
13. Disposal considerations
For large quantities: Refer to Waste Management Authority. Dispose of material through a licensed waste contractor.
Normally suitable for disposal at approved land waste site. For small quantities: Do not pour leftover paint down the drain.
Unwanted paint should be brushed out on newspaper, allowed to dry and then disposed of via domestic waste collection.
Empty paint containers should be left open in a well ventilated area to dry out. When dry recycle the container via steel
can recycling programs. Disposal of empty paint containers via domestic recycling programs may differ between local
authorities. Check with your local council first.
