4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Swallowed:
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give 3 to 4 glasses of water to drink. Seek immediate medical
assistance.
Eye:
If material is splashed into eyes, immediately, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes, ensuring eye lids are
held open. If irritation persists transport to hospital or doctor.
Skin:
If material is splashed onto the skin, remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap
and water. If irritation persists transport to hospital or doctor.
Inhaled:
Move victim to fresh air. Apply resuscitation if victim is not breathing.
First Aid Facilities:
Eye wash fountain, safety shower and normal wash room facilities.
Advice to Doctor:
Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Decomposes on heating emitting oxides of carbon.
Fire Fighting Procedures: Fire fighters to wear Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in confined
spaces, in oxygen deficient atmospheres or if exposed to products of decomposition. Full protective clothing
is also recommended.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire situation.
Flammability
This material is not a flammable or combustible liquid.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Material may be slippery when spilt. Walk cautiously. Ventilate area. Wear protective equipment to prevent
skin and eye contact, as outlined under personal protection in this MSDS. Bund area using sand or soil - to
prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand, vermiculite or other inert material).
Collect and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store away from
oxidizing agents. Keep containers closed, when not using the product. Store in original packages as

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
No exposure standards have been assigned by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission
(NOHSC) for this product or any of the components:
***************************
POLYAMIDE
No Exposure standards have been assigned by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission
(NOHSC)
Engineering Controls
Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are adequate
unless the material is heated, reacted or otherwise changed in some type of chemical reaction, then the use
of a local exhaust ventilation system is recommended.
Personal Protection Equipment
GLOVES: PVC or natural rubber.
EYES: Chemical goggles or faceshield to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of vapours/gases. Select and use respirators in accordance
with AS/NZS 1715/1716. The use of a P1 dust mask (disposable) or with replaceable filters is recommended.
Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering spaces
where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other
acceptable International Standard is recommended.
