Exposure may produce irreversible effects*. *(limited evidence)
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
The material has NOT been classified as "harmful by ingestion". This is because
of the lack of corroborating animal or human evidence. The material may still be
damaging to the health of the individual, following ingestion, especially where
pre-existing organ (e.g. liver, kidney) damage is evident. Present definitions
of harmful or toxic substances are generally based on doses producing mortality
(death) rather than those producing morbidity (disease, ill-health).
Gastrointestinal tract discomfort may produce nausea and vomiting. In an
occupational setting however, unintentional ingestion is not thought to be cause
for concern.
EYE
There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause
eye irritation and damage in some persons.
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good
hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions,
may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the
use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified using animal models). Nevertheless, good
hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that suitable
control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but
there is not enough data to make an assessment. There is some evidence that
inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in some
persons compared to the general population. There is limited evidence that, skin
contact with this product is more likely to cause a sensitization reaction in
some persons compared to the general population. Respiratory sensitization may
result in allergic/asthma like responses; from coughing and minor breathing
difficulties to bronchitis with wheezing, gasping.
Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
SWALLOWED
- Immediately give a glass of water.
- First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Information Center or a doctor.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from
eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- If pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by
skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED
- If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.
- Other measures are usually unnecessary.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point (掳F): Not Applicable
Lower Explosive Limit (%): Not Applicable
Upper Explosive Limit (%): Not Applicable
Autoignition Temp (掳F): Not Applicable
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
The product contains a substantial proportion of water, therefore there are no
restrictions on the type of extinguishing media which may be used. Choice of
extinguishing media should take into account surrounding areas.
Though the material is non-combustible, evaporation of water from the mixture,
caused by the heat of nearby fire, may produce floating layers of combustible
substances.
In such an event consider:
- foam
- dry chemical powder
- carbon dioxide.
FIRE FIGHTING
- Alert Emergency Responders and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves for fire only.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water
course.
- Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area.
- Do not approach containers suspected to be hot.
- Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
- If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
- Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
AEGL 1: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic nonsensory
effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transient and
reversible upon cessation of exposure.

that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse health effects
or an impaired ability to escape.
AEGL 3: The airborne concentration of a substance above which it is predicted
that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could
experience life-threatening health effects or death.
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING GUIDELINES (ERPG)
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to one hour WITHOUT experiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
water 500 mg/m鲁
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could
impair an individual's ability to take protective action is:
water 500 mg/m鲁

Section 8 - Test EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
- Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them. DO NOT wear contact lenses.
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals.
Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other protective equipment, to
avoid all possible skin contact.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
- Barrier cream.
- Skin cleansing cream.
- Eye wash unit.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of
breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant.
Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the
mask) may also be important.
Breathing Zone Maximum Protection Half-face Full-Face
Level ppm (volume) Factor Respirator Respirator
1000 10 A-1 P -
1000 50 - A-1 P
5000 50 Airline* -
5000 100 - A-2 P
10000 100 - A-3 P
100+ Airline* *
* - Continuous Flow ** - Continuous-flow or positive pressure demand.
The local concentration of material, quantity and
conditions of use determine the type of personal
protective equipment required.
Use appropriate NIOSH-certified respirator based on informed professional
judgement. In conditions where no reasonable estimate of exposure can be
made, assume the exposure is in a concentration IDLH and use NIOSH-certified
full face pressure demand SCBA with a minimum service life of 30 minutes, or
a combination full facepiece pressure demand SAR with auxiliary self-contained
air supply. Respirators provided only for escape from IDLH atmospheres shall be
NIOSH-certified for escape from the atmosphere in which they will be used.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust
ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of overexposure
exists, wear an approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate
protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse or closed storage areas.
