HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Health Effects
Acute - Swallowed May be harmful if swallowed.
Irritating and may injure eye tissue if not removed promptly.
Acute - Eye
Contact with skin may result in irritation.
Acute - Skin
Inhalation of high MEK vapour concentrations can cause eye and
Acute - Inhaled
respiratory
tract irritation, headache, dizziness and other central nervous
system
effects.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause irritation and may
Chronic
lead to
dermatitis.
Simultaneous exposure to MEK and n-hexane can potentiate the known
irreversible effects of n-hexane ie progessive and possibly
irreversible
peripheral polyneuropathy. There is no evidence to indicate MEK

alone will
cause these effects.
First Aid
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give patient a glass of
Swallowed
water to
drink and seek medical advice. Do NOT give anything to drink to an
unconscious person.
Hold eyelids open and immediately flush with large amounts of
Eye
water for at
least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Remove contaminated clothing and footwear and wash before re-use.
Skin
Wash
affected area with plenty of soap and water. If irritation occurs
seek
medical attention.
Remove patient from contaminated area. Apply artificial
Inhaled
respiration if
necessary. Seek medical advice.

Other Health Hazard Information
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
No exposure standard is available for the material as such.
Exposure Limits
Exposure
standards for the hazardous components are as follows (NOHSC-
1995):
Methyl Ethyl Ketone: TWA: 150ppm (445mg/m3), STEL: 300ppm
(890mg/m3),
Cyclohexanone: TWA: 25ppm (100mg/m3) - skin,
TWA is the time weighted average concentration of the work
atmosphere over a
normal 8-hour work day and a 40-hour work week. Nearly all workers
may be
repeatedly exposed to this level, day after day, without adverse
effect.
A 'skin' notation indicates that this substance will also be
readily
absorbed through the skin, which may be by airborne material or
direct
contact. The TWA is obviously invalidated if such contact should
occur.
These TWAs are issued as guidelines for good practice. All
atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is practically
possible.
These TWAs should not be used as fine lines between safe and
dangerous

concentrations.
The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is the airborne concentration
of a
substance averaged over a 15 minute period. These exposure limits
are not
to be exceeded at any time during a normal eight hour working day.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Ventilation should ensure
Eng. Controls
exposure is
kept as low as practicable or at least below the recommended
exposure
standards. If mechanical ventilation is required it must be
suitable for
use with flammable material.
Personal Protection
Protective Equip. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid breathing vapours.
The following personal protective equipment is recommended:
Respiratory protection, such as organic vapour cartridge mask or
air
supplied system, if ventilation inadequate or working in confined
areas.
Solvent resistant gloves, such as neoprene rubber, should be worn
in order
to avoid skin contact.
Safety goggles if risk of eye contact exists.
Flammability
Highly flammable.

ignition. Keep containers closed when not in use. Classified as a
Class 3
(Highly Flammable) material according to the,'Australian Code for
the
Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail', therefore should

Spills and Disposal
Spills & Disposal Shut off all possible ignition sources. Clean-up personnel to wear
appropriate personal protective equipment. Major spillages should
be
immediately confined using earth, sand or other inert, non-
combustible
material (not saw dust). Prevent run-off into drains and water-
ways.
Prevent spreading of flammable vapours. Collect impregnated
absorbent into
clearly labelled containers for disposal as per statutory
regulations.
Fire/Explosion Hazard
Highly flammable material.
Fire/Explos.
Keep containers sealed when not in use.
Hazard
Hazardous decomposition products on burning: oxides of carbon,
hydrogen
chloride, smoke and other toxic fumes.
Fire-fighting personnel to wear self contained breathing apparatus
and
protective clothing.
Extinguishing media: Foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide.
Incompatible with strong oxidising agents and acids.
