HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
Health Effects:
Acute:
Swallowed: Harmful if swallowed.
Eye: Will irritate the eyes.
Skin: Will irritate the skin. The product had low acute dermal toxicity in
the rat, and was not sensitising in the test with guinea pigs. The
active ingredient, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl, in this product was sensitising
to the skin in one test, but not in another.
Inhaled: The product has low inhalation toxicity. However, avoid inhaling
vapour.
Chronic: Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl and mefenpyr-diethyl showed no mutagenicity,
reproductive toxicity or carcinogenicity in animal studies. Prolonged
or repeated skin contact with the hydrocarbon liquid solvent in this
product may result in irritation and dermatitis.
First Aid If poisoning occurs, immediately contact a doctor or Poisons
Information Centre (telephone 13 11 26), and follow the advice
given. Show this Material Safety Data Sheet to a doctor.
Swallowed: Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Give a glass of
water. Keep patient at rest and seek medical advice as above.
Eye: Rinse eyes immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes and
obtain medical aid.
Skin: Carefully remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas with
soap and water. Seek medical aid if at all worried.

mouthful) has been ingested, the following measures should be
considered:
Gastric lavage, followed by charcoal administration. As this product
contains a hydrocarbon solvent, care should be taken to prevent
pulmonary aspiration. Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the
respiratory system during ingestion or from vomiting may cause
bronchopneumonia or pulmonary oedema.
Endotracheal intubation
Elimination by dialysis (forced alkaline diuresis)
Monitor kidney and liver function, red blood cell count, blood lipids
and cholesterol for hypolipidaemia and lowered cholesterol (low
density lipoproteins). As this product has a low order of toxicity
there have been no documented cases of poisoning.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Exposure Standards: No exposure standard has been assigned by the National
Occupational Health and Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia).
The manufacturer of the solvent recommends an Occupational
Exposure Limit (OEL) of 100 ppm total hydrocarbons.
Engineering Controls: Control process conditions to avoid contact. Use only in well-
ventilated areas.
Personal Protection: Eyes: Wear face shield or goggles.
Clothing: Wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist
and washable hat.
Gloves: Wear elbow length PVC gloves.
Respiratory: If exposure to product vapour is likely, wear a
respirator with an organic vapour cartridge.
Other: After each day鈥檚 use, wash gloves, face shield or
goggles and contaminated clothing.
Flammability: Combustible liquid Class C1鈥? Flash point between 61 and 150掳 C.
