HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Health Effects
Acute - Swallowed Harmful if swallowed. Tends to break into a foam if the patient vomits.
Harmful to lungs if swallowed.
Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, coughing, pulmonary irritation,
diarrhoea, headache.
If a large amount is ingested and retained, symptoms of Central Nervous
System depression and irritation occur and include weakness dizziness,
unconciousness and convulsions.
Acute - Eye May be an eye irritant.
Acute - Skin Contact with skin may result in irritation.
Acute - Inhaled Harmful by inhalation. High vapour concentrations may cause irritation of the respiratory
system
and Central Nervous System depression characterised by dizziness and
headache and nausea.
Prolonged exposure to vapours may cause sleepiness and unconciousness.
Chronic Repeated or prolonged skin contact can lead to dermatitis.
Exposure to relatively high concentrations of Acetone can mimic metabolic
ketosis. While no human cases of acetone induced ketosis adversely affecting
pregnancy have been reported care should be taken.
First Aid
Swallowed If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. Give patient a glass of water to drink
and seek medical advice. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
Eye Flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and footwear. Wash affected area thoroughly
with soap and water. If irritation occurs seek medical attention.
Launder clothing before reuse.
Inhaled Remove patient to fresh air and seek medical advice.
If not breathing apply artificial respiration.
First Aid Eye wash and safety shower.
Facilities
Advice to Doctor
Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically. Aspiration is main danger.
Other Health Hazard Information
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Exposure Limits No exposure standard is available for the material as such. Exposure
standards for the hazardous components are as follows (NOHSC-1995):
Isohexane: TWA: 500ppm (1760mg/m3), STEL: 1000ppm (3500mg/m3)
toluene: TWA: 100ppm (377mg/m3), STEL: 150ppm (565mg/m3),
acetone: 500ppm (1185mg/m3), STEL: 1000ppm (2375mg/m3)
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.
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.
STEL is the short term exposure limit and is expressed as the airborne
concentration of substances averaged over a period of 15 minutes. This value
should not be exceeded at any time during a normal 8-hour working day.
Eng. Controls Use in a well ventilated area only. Ventilation should be sufficient to
ensure exposure is as low as practically possible or, at least below the
recommended exposure standards. If mechanical ventilation is used it must
be appropriate for use with highly flammable materials.
Take precautions against static electricity discharges and ignition sources.
Personal Protection
Protective Equip. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and avoid breathing vapours.
The following personal protective equipment is recommended:
Air supplied respirator or organic vapour cartridge mask (complying with
Australian Standards AS1715 & AS1716) if ventilation is inadequate or if
working in a confined area.
Safety goggles.
Protective PVC rubber gloves.
Flammability
Fire Hazards Highly Flammable
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
Storage and Transport
Storage and Keep away from sources of ignition- No smoking.
Transport Store under cool, dry conditions away from oxidising agents, strong alkalis
strong mineral acids and bromine.
Keep containers in a well ventilated place.
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 be stored and transported according to the relevant
regulations in each state.

Spills and Disposal
Spills & Disposal Do not empty into drains.
Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clean-up personnel to wear
appropriate personal protective equipment. Prevent spreading of flammable
vapours. Prevent run-off into drains and water-ways. Contain spill using
inert absorbent such as sand, earth, vermiculite or similiar. Collect used
absorbent in clearly labelled containers for disposal as per statutory
regulations. Wash down area where spill occurred.
Fire/Explosion Hazard
Fire/Explos. Flammable vapours may travel considerable distances to a source of ignition
Hazard (heat, sparks, flames).
Keep containers sealed when not in use.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Hazardous decomposition products on burning include: 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.
Hazardous Incompatible with strong oxidising agents and sources of ignition.

OTHER INFORMATION
Toxicology No toxicity data is available for the material as such. Toxicity data for
the hazardous components is as follows:
Toluene:
Eye-human: 300ppm
Inhalation-man TCLo (lowest toxic concentration): 100ppm (Central Nervous
System effects).
Oral-rat LD50 (lethal dose to 50% of test population): 5000mg/kg
Acetone:
Eye-human: 500ppm
Inhalation-human TCLo: 500ppm (Eye effects)
Oral-man: (toxic dose to 50% of test population) TDL0: 2857mg/kg.
Exposure to Acetone may enhance the liver toxicity of chlorinated solvents,
such as chloroform, 1,1-dichloroethylene and 1,1,2-trichloroethane.
Environ. This material may be hazardous to the environment, do not discharge to
drains or water-ways.
Protection
Pkg. & Labelling Classified as a Schedule Poison (S5), Class 3 flammable liquid and a
hazardous substance (Harmful,Irritant), therefore should be packed and
labelled according to the relevant regulations.
