producing switches/tools, heaters, naked lights, pilot lights, mobile phones etc when handling. Earth containers when
dispensing fluids.
Fire and Flammable - explosive vapour. Evacuate area & contact emergency services. Toxic gases (carbon oxides,
hydrocarbons) may be evolved when heated. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full
Explosion
protective equipment (see spill above) including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire.
Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas.
Extinguishing Dry agent, carbon dioxide or foam. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Absorb runoff with sand or similar.
Hazchem Code 3[Y]
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spillage If spilt (bulk), contact emergency services. Wear splash-proof goggles, PVA/viton gloves, a Type A (Organic vapour)
respirator or Air-line respirator, coveralls and rubber boots. Ventilate and clear area of all unprotected personnel.
Eliminate heat and ignition sources, absorb spill with sand or similar and place in sealable containers for disposal.
Prevent spill entering drains or waterways.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact
and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and
smoking in contaminated areas (eg. if container is damaged).
Storage Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents, acids, alkalis, direct sunlight, heat or ignition
sources, foodstuffs, out of direct sunlight and out of the reach of children. Ensure containers are adequately labelled,
protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Check regularly for leaks or spills. Large storage areas
should have appropriate fire protection.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Hazard Toxic - irritant. This product has the potential to cause acute and chronic adverse health effects with over exposure.
Avoid eye or skin contact and vapour/mist inhalation. Chronic exposure may result in liver, kidney and CNS damage.
Summary
Eye Irritant. Contact may result in lacrimation, irritation, pain, redness and conjunctivitis. Prolonged contact - corneal burns
and possible permanent damage.
Inhalation Irritant - toxic. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, headache, fatigue, loss of appetite,
nausea and vomiting. At high levels; dizziness, breathing difficulties, pulmonary oedema and unconsciousness.
Chronic exposure may cause liver, kidney and CNS damage.
Skin Irritant. Prolonged contact may result in drying and defatting of the skin, rash and dermatitis. Toxic effects may result
from skin absorption.
Ingestion Toxic. Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, fatigue and diarrhoea. Large doses may
cause kidney and liver damage, unconsciousness and convulsions. Aspiration into lungs may cause chemical
pneumonitis and pulmonary oedema.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environment If aromatic hydrocarbons are released to soil, they will evaporate from near-surface soil & leach to groundwater.
Biodegradation occurs in soil & groundwater but may be slow, especially at high concentrations, which can be toxic to
microorganisms. Will exist largely as vapour in air. Half life in atmosphere depends on particular hydrocarbon (eg 1-2
days (xylene); 3 hrs-1 day (toluene)).
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste Wearing the protective equipment outlined, ensure all ignition sources are extinguished. For small quantities, absorb
on paper, sand or similar and evaporate under a fume cupboard or open area. For large volumes, atomise into

incinerator (mixing with more flammable solvent if required) or recycle by gravimetric separation, distilling & reusing.
Contact the manufacturer for additional information if required.
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.

Additional WELDING - SANDING - CUTTING DRIED OR CURED PRODUCT: If sanding, cutting or welding dried or cured
product, adverse health effects may be avoided by the use of appropriate engineering controls and/or personal
Information
protective equipment. If welding, wear a Class P2 (Metal fume) respirator and depending on the nature of the surface
being welded, additional protection (eg. for organic vapours/acid gas) may also be required. A Class P1 (Particulate)
respirator is recommended if dust is generated.
WORK PRACTICES - SOLVENTS: Organic solvents may present both a health and flammability hazard. It is
recommended that engineering controls should be adopted to reduce exposure where practicable (for example, if
using indoors, ensure explosion proof extraction ventilation is available). Flammable or combustible liquids with
explosive limits have the potential for ignition from static discharge. Refer to AS 1020 (The control of undesirable
static electricity) and AS 1940 (The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids) for control
procedures.
RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid
exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken.
Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air
powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.
COLOUR RATING SYSTEM: Chem Alert reports are assigned a colour rating of Green, Amber or Red for the
purpose of providing users with a quick and easy means of determining the hazardous nature of a product. Safe
handling recommendations are provided in all Chem Alert reports so as to clearly identify how users can control the
hazards and thereby reduce the risk (or likelihood) of adverse effects. As a general guideline a Green colour rating
indicates a low hazard, an Amber colour rating indicates a moderate hazard and a Red colour rating indicates a high
hazard.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:
The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this Chem Alert report is provided as a guide only.
Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability
of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made.
HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:
It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency
and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of
application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a Chem Alert report which would encompass all possible scenarios,
it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.

mg/m3 - Milligrams per cubic metre
ppm - Parts Per Million
TWA/ES - Time Weighted Average or Exposure Standard.
CNS - Central Nervous System
NOS - Not Otherwise Specified
pH - relates to hydrogen ion concentration - this value will relate to a scale of 0 - 14, where 0 is highly acidic and 14 is

Report Status Chem Alert reports are compiled as an independent source of information by RMT's scientific department. The
information is based on the latest chemical and toxicological research, and in compliance with relevant standards,
guidance notes and legislation (where applicable). The Chem Alert report is not intended as a replacement to the
manufacturer's original MSDS that is provided to Chem Alert subscribers for convenience. In many instances, Chem
Alert reports are compiled on behalf of manufacturers, in which case they serve as the "Manufacturer's MSDS" and
are clearly identified as such on the relevant reports.
