4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to
stop by the PIC or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes.
Inhalation Leave area of exposure immediately. If other than minor symptoms occur, seek immediate medical attention. If
assisting a victim avoid becoming a casualty, wear a Type A (Organic vapour) respirator. If victim is not breathing
apply artificial respiration.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and gently flush affected areas with water. Seek medical attention if irritation
develops. Launder clothing before reuse.

hazard. Wear full 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 Non flammable. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways, absorb runoff with sand or similar.
Hazchem Code None Allocated
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spillage If spilt (bulk), contact emergency services where appropriate. Wear splash-proof goggles, PVC/rubber gloves, a
Type A (Organic vapour) respirator (where an inhalation risk exists), coveralls, PVC apron and rubber boots.
Ventilate and clear area of all unprotected personnel. Absorb spill with sand or similar, collect and place in
sealable containers for disposal.
7. STORAGE AND HANDLING
Storage Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents, acids, nitrites - nitrosating agents and
foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in
use.
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.

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Material to Avoid May react with oxidising agents (eg. hypochlorites, peroxides), acids (eg. nitric acid) and nitrites (possibly forming
carcinogenic nitrosamines).
Decomposition May evolve toxic gases (carbon/ nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, amines, ammonia) when heated to
decomposition.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Hazard Use safe work practices to avoid eye-skin contact or vapour inhalation. Due to the low vapour pressure of this
product an inhalation hazard is not anticipated unless used in poorly ventilated areas, heated or sprayed. Chronic
Summary
over exposure may result in skin and respiratory sensitisation, kidney, liver and blood damage. Dilution with water
prior to use greatly reduces the potential for adverse health effects.
Eye May result in pain, redness, corneal burns and ulceration with possible permanent damage with prolonged
contact.
Inhalation Over exposure may result in mucous membrane and upper respiratory tract irritation. May cause sensitisation with
asthma-like symptoms. At high levels; breathing difficulties, ulceration of respiratory tract, pulmonary oedema and
convulsions.
Skin Contact may result in itching, pain, redness, rash and dermatitis. Prolonged contact may result in burns and
possible sensitisation.
Ingestion Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting, severe gastrointestinal irritation, slight ulceration, dizziness and
diarrhoea. Large doses may result in kidney/ liver damage and unconsciousness.

16. OTHER INFORMATION
Additional EXPOSURE STANDARDS - TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGES: Exposure standards are established on the premise
of an 8 hour work period of normal intensity, under normal climatic conditions and where a 16 hour break between
Information
shifts exists to enable the body to eliminate absorbed contaminants. In the following circumstances, exposure
standards must be reduced: strenuous work conditions; hot, humid climates; high altitude conditions; extended
shifts (which increase the exposure period and shorten the period of recuperation).
AMINE: CAUTION THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS AN AMINE. DO NOT ADD NITRITES or other NITROSATING
AGENTS to this product due to the potential for NITROSAMINE formation. Nitrosamines are potent carcinogens
and some have been shown to cause severe acute (heart, brain, blood, liver - kidney) damage as well as chronic
effects (reproductive effects, liver - lung and kidney tumours).

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.

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.
