Product Exposure Limits
TLV TWA triethylamine TWA 3 ppm STEL 5 ppm
No values have been assigned for other ingredients
Toxicity and Irritation Data
LD(50) for ingestion (rat) ?N-methyl ?- pyrrolidone 3.6 gm per kgm
LD(50) for ingestion (rat) ?Aziridine 3.04 gm per kgm
LD50 dermal (rabbit) ?N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone 8 gm per kgm
Inhalation No effects
Negative in AMES test for mutagenicity.
AZIRIDINE. There is evidence of genotoxicity and therefore is a possible animal carcinogen.
POLYURETHANE. EMULSION. A study on pregnant female rats on day 6-15 of gestation via dermal
administration has shown that high doses produce embryo/foetotoxic effects in the presence of maternal
toxicity (dermal dose 750 mgm/kgm body weight)
These particular data are not considered relevant to normal industrial use but emphasise the need for
care in handling.
SECTION 4. HEALTH HAZARD
Symptoms of Exposure: Acute and Chronic Effects
No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet
and the product label. Synptoms that may arise if the product is mishandled are:
ACUTE EFFECTS
Ingestion:
Can result in irritation of the gastrointestinal tract, nausea, vomiting, and pain. Considered as an unlikely
route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Eye contact:
A severe eye irritant. Contamination of the eyes can result in permanent injury.
Skin contact:
Liquid may be irritating to the skin and may be capable of causing allergic skin reactions. Repeated or
prolonged contact may lead to dermatitic effects and may cause sensitisation in some individuals.
Inhalation:
The vapour is mildly irritating to the mucous membranes and respiratory tract. The vapour pressure from
these products is very low at ambient temperatures and is unlikely to cause exposure from normal
handling. Frequent or prolonged exposure can cause respiratory irritation and may cause sensitisation in
some individuals. Overexposure symptoms include headache, swelling and congestion of the eyes and
sinuses
CHRONIC EFFECTS
No information available for the products. Not classified as sensitisers or carcinogens by Worksafe
Australia.

Emergency & First Aid Procedures
Ingestion:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. If conscious give water to rinse out mouth and drink. Provide liquid slowly
but as much as casualty will drink. Transport to hospital or doctor without delay.
Eye contact:
Immediately hold the eyes open and irrigate eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Ensure
irrigation under eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Transport to doctor or hospital
without delay. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled
personnel.
Skin contact:
Immediately remove all contaminated clothing including footwear. Wash affected areas thoroughly with
detergent hand cleaner and rinse with plenty of water. Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air, lie patient down, keep warm and rested. If breathing is shallow or has stopped,
ensure clear airway and apply resuscitation. Administer oxygen. Transport to hospital or doctor.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
SECTION 5. PERSONAL PROTECTION & HANDLING
Protective Equipment
Eyes: Goggles or face shield
Hands/feet: Rubber gloves, full overalls, safety shoes
Respiratory: Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear organic vapour respirator or self
contained breathing apparatus in enclosed areas.
Remove and wash all contaminated clothing and equipment.
Handling Procedures
Handle in well ventilated area. Always observe conditions of good industrial hygiene and safe working
practice.
If spraying the product avoid contact with overspray mists. Wear full personal coveralls, a mask or
respirator, and ensure good extractive ventilation to maintain air concentrations of components below
quoted exposure standards.
SECTION 6. FIRE & EXPLOSION
Stability
Stable for minimum 2 years at room temperature. Excess heating over long periods will degrade
ingredients.
Flammability
Liquid products will not support combustion. Dry residues can burn if ignited

Hazardous Decomposition Products
On burning will emit toxic fumes of oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
Hazardous Polymerisation
Will not occur in absence of contact with reactive elements or unless the separately packed components
are mixed in large quantities. This may cause irreversible polymerization.
Incompatibility
Avoid contact with strong acids, alkalis, oxidising materials.
Fire Fighting
Toxic fumes will be evolved when this material is involved in a fire. Fire fighters must wear full protective
clothing and self contained breathing apparatus.
Extinguishing Media
Water, foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder.
SECTION 7. STORAGE & TRANSPORT
DG Class Non hazardous
Packaging Group & Label N/A
Suitable Containers Pre-packaged
Storage Procedures Containers will develop pressure at high
temperatures. Store at room temperature under
cover in accordance with AS1940 and State Poisons
Acts.
Transport Not defined as a dangerous good, not regulated for transport
under UN and local regulations.
SECTION 8. SPILLS & DISPOSAL
Minor spill Absorb into waste cloth or other suitable absorbent. Avoid
contact with skin or eyes.
Major spill Contain with sand or earth, absorb with suitable absorbent, collect
and seal in properly labelled drums for disposal. Prevent run-off
into drains or waterways.
