HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
HEALTH EFFECTS - ACUTE:-
SWALLOWED;
Clear all airway passages, remove victim from area if contaminated. If unconscious apply resuscitation,do not
induce vomiting, give clear water to drink, keep victim warm. Remove all contaminated clothing; loosen tight
clothing. Seek medical aid immediately.
EYE.
Flush continuously with copious amounts of clean fresh water for fifteen minutes. Seek medical assistance if
unable to remove completely.
SKIN
Remove paint using propriety industrial cleaner, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water until no trace remains.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re-use. If skin irritation occurs seek medical advice.
INHALATION
Remove person from fumes as soon as possible, avoid becoming a casualty, preferably to an open shaded area.
Remove all contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable
position, making sure they are kept warm and rested. Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek medical advice if
effect persists longer than 15 - 20 minutes.

FIRST AID
Swallowed.
Lie patient on their side to allow expectoration/saliva flow. Do not induce vomiting. Give clean water only. Seek
medical attention. Relocate patient to well ventilated area.
EYE
Irrigate with copious quantities of clean fresh water for at least fifteen minutes. Seek medical assistance if irritation
persists or any residue remains.
SKIN
Wash contaminated skin with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before re=use. If irritation
re-occurs seek medical advice.
INHALATION
Remove patient from exposure, avoid becoming a casualty yourself. Remove contaminated clothin and loosen
remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until fully
recovered. Seek medical assistance if effects persist.
INGESTION
Give water to ease mild irritation. DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Seek immediate medical assistance.
ADVICE TO DOCTORS
Treat symptomatically based on judgement of doctor and individual reactions of patient.
TOXICITY
No LD50 data available for product. Indications are that the toxicity is related to the solvent phase. They may
irritate skin, eyes and respiratory system. Inhalation of high vapour concentrations can produce central nervous
system depression, which can loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement and if exposure is prolonged,
unconsciousness and possible death.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
EXPOSURE STANDARDS
No value assigned for this specific material by the National Health and Medical Research Council. The TLV data
for the solvent constituents are:-
-TLV 100ppm; 525mg/m3
White Spirit
-TLV 50ppm; 250mg/m3
Solvesso
-TLV 50ppm; 790mg/m3
Butanol
TLV is the time weighed average concentration of the work atmosphere for a normal eight(8) hour work day and a
forty(40) hour work week to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day, without adverse
effect.
VENTILATION
Use with adequate ventilation. Vapours are heavier than air, prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. DO NOT
enter confined spaces where vapour may have collected.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Rustmasters MetalMaster can be applied by brush, roller, airless or conventional spray. Ensure ventilation is
adequate to maintain air concentration below exposure limits. Containers which are expanded should be treated
with extreme care. Lid can be punctured with non sparking tools to release pressure. Cover top with material before
puncturing.

Personal protection
Whilst "Metalmaster" is a low mild irritant it is advisable to take the following precautions for personal protection
and safety.
1. When handling "MetalMaster" use approved PVC/rubber gloves and wrap-around eye protection.
2. When spraying, wear dust masks and wrap-around eye protection.
Flammability:
FLAMMABLE, All potential sources of ignition (open flames, pilot lights, furnaces, and spark producing switches
and other electrical equipment) must be eliminated both in and near the work area. DO NOT SMOKE.
SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION.
Storage I Transport:
Not to be loaded with flammable gases (class 2.1) in bulk, poisonous gases (class 2.3), spontaneously
combustible substances (class 4.2) or oxidising agents (class 5). Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Keep
containers closed at all times when not in use. When used outside, store in shaded area.

Spills and Disposal
Spills
Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Contain, using sand or earth (excess spillage) absorbs with
sawdust, dry sand or cloth/rags. The remainder should be cleaned up with mineral thinners and the area
can then be hosed where possible to reduce tackiness/stickiness of the surface and reduce incidence of
slipping when wet. Treat small spills as for "the remainder". Whilst "MetalMaster" is not harmful to the
skin it is recommended that those persons involved in cleaning up, wear appropriate footwear
(gumboots) and rubber gloves. Remove by wiping affected skin contact areas with mild mineral thinner
or Turpentine, then wash thoroughly with soap and water until stickiness disappears. Prevent run off into
drains and waterways. Collect and seal in properly labeled drums for disposal.
Disposal
Burning is NOT recommended. Refer to State Land Waste Management Authority. Advise of flammable nature.
Normally suitable for incineration by approved authority only.
Fire and Explosion Hazard
Flammable liquid. On burning will emit poisons and noxious fumes. Keep containers cool with water spray. Fire
Fighters to wear self contained breathing apparatus if risks of exposure to vapour or product combustion exist.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
RUSTMASTERStm is a self polymerising resin system, dryers - additives, are cross linked into the structure of
polymer films therefore leaching to ground or water is of negligible order to the point of zero.
Fire Fighting Recommendations
Attack the fire from an up-wind position when possible. Use an absorbent -sand, soil or similar. USE CO2, DRY
CHEMICAL, BCF, FOAM SAND OR EARTH. DO NOT aim the extinguisher at seat of fire but attack from edge
to allow contents of fire extinguisher to "rollover" the fire and blanket the burning material. By attacking the seat
(or centre) of the fire, the extinguisher propellant can splatter the burning material over a wider area, causing minor
fire outbreaks. To drums/tins of "MetalMaster" within the vicinity of the fire, WATER SPRAY to keep contents
cool.
ADVISE THE EMERGENCY SERVICES if the fire is large, or cannot be contained by equipment or personnel
available. Fire Fighters should wear respirators of type AS 1716 if the fire is in an enclosed area.
Wrap-around safety glasses (As 1337 standards) should be worn.
