HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
HAZARD CATEGORY
Xi Irritant
F Flammable
RISK PHASES
R11 Highly flammable
R36 Irritating to eyes
R37 Irritating to respiratory system
R38 Irritating to skin
R65 Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.
HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE
SWALLOWED Moderately toxic when ingested. Ingestion may cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract.
EYE Direct contact may cause moderate to severe eye irritation. Contact with liquefied gas will
cause severe damage.
SKIN Prolonged contact with skin may lead to irritation and in some cases irritant contact
dermatitis. Contact with liquefied gas can result in cold contact burns.
INHALED Inhalation of solvent vapour may result in nervous system effects such as dizziness,
nausea, headache and sleepiness. Excessive exposure to vapour may cause
unconsciousness or even death, due to asphyxiation.
CHRONIC Prolonged or repeated skin contact may lead to irritation contact dermatitis.

FIRST AID
SWALLOWED Never give anything by mouth if victim is rapidly losing consciousness, or is unconscious or
convulsing. Have victim rinse mouth thoroughly with water. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Have victim drink 240 to 300mL (8 to 10 oz.) of water. If vomiting occurs naturally, rinse
mouth and repeat administration of water. Obtain medical attention immediately.
EYE Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 20
minutes, by the clock, holding the eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated
water into the non-affected eye. Obtain medical attention immediately.
SKIN Remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods. As quickly as possible, flush
contaminated area with lukewarm, gently running water for at least 20 minutes, by the
clock. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention immediately.
Completely decontaminate clothing, shoes and leather goods before re-use, or discard.
INHALED If symptoms are experienced, remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air.
Keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or has stopped administer artificial
respiration. Seek medical attention if any effects persist.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
ADVICE TO DOCTOR Treat symptomatically. Advise doctor of the presence of liquid hydrocarbons.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
EXPOSURE LIMITS Name STEL TWA
mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 ppm
acetone 750ppm
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in well ventilated areas. Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations
below Exposure Standards. Use with local flameproof exhaust ventilation or while wearing
organic vapour respirator. Vapour is heavier than air ?prevent concentrations in hollows or
sumps. DO NOT enter confined spaces where vapour may have collected. Explosive gas
atmospheres may form, for further information refer to AS 2430.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATOR TYPE Where ventilation is not adequate, respiratory protection may be required. An approved
organic vapour respirator should be used. Respiratory protection should comply with
AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZ 1716
EYE PROTECTION Safety glasses or chemical goggles. Failure to do so may result in eye damage if an
accident occurs. Consult AS 1336 & AS/NZ 1337 for information about eye protection
GLOVE TYPE Available information suggests gloves made nitriles, viton, neoprene or other similar solvent
resistant material. Keep solvent contact to a minimum. For help in selecting suitable gloves
consult AS 2161
CLOTHING Overalls or similar protective clothing. Consult AS 2919 for advice
Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking, or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective
equipment before storing or re-using.
FLAMMABILITY
FIRE HAZARDS -Heat or damage to containers may release flammable gases
-Containers will explode when heated ?ruptured containers will rocket
-Released gases may form explosive mixtures with air in confined spaces.
-Released gases may travel to source of ignition and flash back.
-Organic chemicals may form flammable dust clouds in air; will burn if involved in fire.
-Fire may produce irritating, poisonous and/or corrosive gases.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
Avoid storage with oxidisers
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
-Store in original containers in approved flameproof area
-DO NOT store in pits, depressions, basements or areas where vapours may be trapped
-No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources.
-keep containers securely sealed. Contents under pressure
-store away from incompatible materials.
-store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area in an upright position out of direct sunlight
-avoid storage at temperatures higher than 40? C
-protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION (continued)
TRANSPORTATION S5 scheduled poison
UN 1950
CLASS 2.1
-Flammable gases shall not be loaded in the same vehicle or packed in the same freight
container with:
-Class 1 explosives
-Class 3 flammable liquids (where both flammable liquids and gases are in bulk)
-Class 4.1 flammable solids
-Class 4.2 spontaneously combustible substances
-Class 4.3 dangerous when wet substances
-Class 5.1 oxidising agents
-Class 5.2 organic peroxides
-Class 7 radioactive substances
SPILL OR LEAK
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) within at least 15m.
Isolate area until gas has dispersed. All equipment used when handling the product must
be earthed. Restrict access to area until completion of clean up. Ensure clean up is
conducted by trained personnel only. Wear protective clothing including facemask, face
shield and gauntlets. Ventilate the area. Prevent material from entering sewers or confined
spaces. Stop or reduce leak if safe to do so. Contain spill with earth, sand or inert
absorbent material. Small spills of solution: soak up with absorbent material. Put material
in suitable, covered, labelled containers. Flush area with water preventing runoff entering
drains. Large spills: contact fire and emergency services for advice.
Disposal: review federal, state and local government requirements prior to disposal.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS
-Vapour is highly flammable
HAZARDS
-Severe fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame
-Vapour forms explosive mixture with air
-Vapour may travel considerable distance to source of ignition.
-Heating may cause expansion with violent container rupture.
-Aerosol cans may explode on exposure to naked flames
-Rupturing containers may rocket and scatter burning materials
-Hazards may not be restricted to pressure effects
-Organic chemicals may form flammable dust clouds in air; will burn if involved in fire.
-May emit acrid, poisonous or corrosive fumes.
-On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO)
-Other combustion products include carbon dioxide (CO2)

FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARDS
EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Small fire
-Use water spray, dry chemical or CO2
Large fire
-Use water spray and fog
-Fight fire from protected position or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.
-If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area ?Do not approach hot
containers
-Cool containers with water before handling
-If impossible to extinguish fire, protect surroundings, withdraw from area and allow fire to
burn.
