5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Highly flammable aerosol. May evolve toxic gases (eg. carbon oxides, hydrocarbons) when heated to decomposition.
Vapours may form explosive mixtures in air.Eliminate all ignition sources, including cigarettes, open flames, spark
producing switches/tools, heaters, pilot lights, mobile phones etc. when handling. Aerosol cans may explode above 50
C.
Fire and Highly 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 2Y
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spillage If can is punctured, clear area of all unprotected personnel and ventilate area. Wear splash-proof goggles,
viton/nitrile/neoprene gloves, a Type A-Class P1 (Organic vapour, Particulate) respirator (where an inhalation risk
exists) and coveralls. Collect and allow to discharge outdoors. Absorb residues with sand or similar and place in clean
containers for disposal.
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 (< 50 C), dry, well ventilated area, removed from sunlight, heat & ignition sources, oxidising agents,
acids, alkalis and foodstuffs. Ensure aerosol containers/ cans are adequately labelled, protected from physical
damage and sealed when not in use. Inspect regularly for damaged/ leaking containers. Large storage areas should
have appropriate fire protection systems.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Do not inhale vapours. Use in well ventilated areas. In poorly ventilated areas, mechanical explosion proof extraction
ventilation is recommended.Flammable vapours may accumulate in poorly ventilated or confined areas. Vapours are
heavier than air and may travel some distance to an ignition source and flash back.

ES-TWA : 1000 ppm (ACGIH; NIOSH)
Standards
ES-TWA# : Asphyxiant - No values assigned (NOHSC)

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Hazard Low to moderate toxicity - irritant. This product may only have the potential to cause adverse health effects if
intentionally misused (eg. deliberately inhaling contents). Over exposure may result in adverse effects to the central
Summary
nervous system. Use safe work practices to avoid eye or skin contact and vapour inhalation.
Eye Irritant. Exposure may result in lacrimation, irritation, pain and redness.
Inhalation Irritant. Inhalation may cause irritation to the respiratory system, nose and throat irritation, coughing, and headache.
Over exposure may result in nausea, dizziness and drowsiness.
Skin Irritant. Prolonged contact may result in drying and defatting of the skin, rash and dermatitis.
Ingestion Low to moderate toxicity. Ingestion may result in nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and drowsiness with large doses.
Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary oedema. Ingestion is considered unlikely due to product
form (ie. aerosol).
Toxicity Data PROPANE (74-98-6)
LC50 (Inhalation) : 50,000 ppm
BUTANE (106-97-8)
LC50 (Inhalation) : 658 g/m3/4 hours (rat)
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Environment Aliphatic hydrocarbons behave differently in the environment depending on their size. WATER: Light aliphatics
volatilise rapidly from water (half life - few hours). Bioconcentration should not be significant. SOIL: Light aliphatics
biodegrade quickly in soil and water, heavy aliphatics biodegrade very slowly. ATMOSPHERE: Vapour-phase
aliphatics will degrade by reaction with hydroxyl radicals.
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Waste For small amounts absorb contents with sand or similar and dispose of to an approved landfill site. Do not puncture or
incinerate aerosol cans. Contact the manufacturer for additional information.
Disposal
Legislation Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation.
14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION
Transport Class 2.1 Flammable gas. Do not transport with chemicals of class; 1 (Explosives), 3 (Flammable liquids), 4.1
(Flammable solids), 4.2 (Spontaneously combustibles), 4.3 (Dangerous when wet), 5.1 (Oxidising agents), 5.2

Information
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.

16. OTHER INFORMATION cont.
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.

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.
