4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with water. Continue until advised to stop by the Poisons Information
Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. Keep patient calm.
Inhalation Leave area of exposure. If symptoms develop, seek urgent medical attention. If assisting a person exposed, wear
a Type A (Organic vapour) respirator (or Air-line respirator in poorly ventilated areas). If person is not breathing,
apply artificial respiration and seek urgent medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and gently flush affected areas with water. Seek medical attention if irritation
develops. Launder clothing before reuse.
Ingestion DO NOT induce vomiting. Immediately wash out mouth with water, and then give water to drink. Seek medical
attention.
Advice to Treat symptomatically

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Highly flammable liquid/ aerosol. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. May evolve toxic gases (carbon
oxides, hydrocarbons) when heated to decomposition. Eliminate all ignition sources including cigarettes, open
flames, spark producing switches/tools, heaters, naked lights, pilot lights etc. when handling.
Fire and Highly flammable aerosol. Evacuate area & contact emergency services. Toxic gases (hydrocarbons, carbon
oxides) may be evolved. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full protective equipment

including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers
and nearby storage areas.
Extinguishing Dry agent, carbon dioxide or foam. Prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Absorb runoff with sand or
similar.
Hazchem Code 2Y
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spillage If can is punctured, clear area of all unprotected personnel and ventilate area. Wear splash-proof goggles,
PVA/viton gloves, a Type A-Class P1 (Organic vapour, Particulate) respirator or an Air-line respirator (where an
inhalation risk exists-bulk spill/container damage) and coveralls. Collect and allow to discharge outdoors. Absorb
residues with sand or similar and place in clean containers for disposal.
7. STORAGE AND HANDLING
Storage Store in cool (< 50 C), dry, well ventilated area, removed from sunlight, heat & ignition sources, oxidising agents,
acids, alkalis and foodstuffs. Ensure aerosol containers/ cans are adequately labelled, protected from physical
damage and sealed when not in use. Inspect regularly for damaged/ leaking containers. Large storage areas
should have appropriate fire protection systems.
Handling Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin
contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating,
drinking and smoking in contaminated areas.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Do not inhale vapours. Use in well ventilated areas. In poorly ventilated areas, mechanical explosion proof
extraction ventilation is recommended. Flammable/explosive vapours may accumulate in poorly ventilated areas.
Vapours are heavier than air and may travel some distance to an ignition source and flashback. Maintain vapour
levels below the recommended exposure standard.

Additional WORK PRACTICES - SOLVENTS: Organic solvents may present both a health and flammability hazard. It is
recommended that engineering controls should be adopted to reduce exposure where practicable (for example, if
Information
using indoors, ensure explosion proof extraction ventilation is available). Flammable or combustible liquids with
explosive limits have the potential for ignition from static discharge. Refer to AS 1020 (The control of undesirable
static electricity) and AS 1940 (The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids) for control
procedures.
SYNERGISM - ANTAGONISM: Ingredients in this product may act together to aggravate or reduce adverse
effects. Accordingly the time weighted average concentration (TWA) provided for single ingredients should be
considered as a guide only and all due care exercised when handling.
RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid
exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken.
Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air
powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:
The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this Chem Alert report is provided as a guide
only. Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the
availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is
made.
HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:
It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including:
frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and
method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a Chem Alert report which would encompass all
possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
COLOUR RATING SYSTEM: RMT has assigned all Chem Alert reports a colour rating of Green, Amber or Red
for the sole purpose of providing users with a quick and easy means of determining the hazardous nature of a
