Material Safety Data Sheet
Skin Contact: If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with running water. If irritation
occurs seek medical advice.
Eye Contact: If in eyes, wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, give a glass of water to drink. If vomiting occurs give further
water. Seek medical advice.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Specific Hazards: Non-combustible material.
Fire-fighting advice: Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the
material, the residual material can burn if ignited. On burning will emit toxic fumes.
Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective
clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use: Water fog (or if
unavailable fine water spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
6. Accidental release measures
SMALL SPILLS: Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact. Contain - prevent run off into drains and
waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS: Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact. Avoid breathing in vapours. Work up wind
or increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert
material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops or waterways
has occurred advise emergency services or State Department of Agriculture.
7. Handling and storage
Handling advice: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour, mists, and aerosols.
Storage advice: Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do NOT store for prolonged
periods in direct sunlight. Store in a locked room or place away from children, animals, food,
feedstuffs, seed and fertilisers.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Occupational Exposure Limits:
No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission. However,
supplier recommended Exposure Standard(s):
Product Name: IMPACT (R) IN-FURROW AND FOLIAR FUNGICIDE
Substance No: 000504253801 Issued: 17/07/2002 Version: 1

Material Safety Data Sheet
Flutriafol*: 8hr TWA = 5 mg/m3
*Supplier recommended.
TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week
over an entire working life.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should not exceed
the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed during product
manufacture.
Engineering Control Measures:
IN THE WORKPLACE: Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below
quoted Exposure Standards. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Orica Personal Protection Guide No. 1, 1998: B - OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES.
MANUFACTURE, PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT: Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves. Always wash
hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment
before storage or re-use.
If risk of inhalation exists, wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and
AS/NZS 1716.
PREPARATION AND USE OF PRODUCT: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling spray mist. When opening
the container and preparing spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat and elbow-
length PVC gloves and face shield or goggles. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and
face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day's use, wash gloves and face shield or goggles and contaminated
clothing.

11. Toxicological information
No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the product
label. Symptoms or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
Ingestion: No adverse effects expected, however, large amounts may cause nausea and vomiting.
Eye contact: May be an eye irritant.
Skin contact: Contact with skin may result in irritation.
Inhalation: Breathing in mists or aerosols may produce respiratory irritation.
Long Term Effects:
Evidence from animal tests indicate that repeated or prolonged exposure to flutriafol can result in embryo/foetotoxic
effects and liver disorders.
Toxicological Data:
No LD50 data available for the product. However, for constituent(s)
FLUTRIAFOL:
Oral LD50 (rat): 5,600 mg/kg.
Dermal LD50 (rat): >1,000 mg/kg.
Inhalation LC50 (rat): 1.65 mg/L/4hr (respirable).
SKIN: Non-irritant (rat). Not a skin sensitiser.
EYES: Mild irritant (rabbit).
Studies of flutriafol in animals have shown that repeated doses do not produce carcinogenic effects. Chronic studies in
animals have shown that repeated doses primarily attack the liver.
Studies in animals have shown that repeated doses produce embryo/foetotoxic effects (not teratogenic). A No
Observable Effect Level of 10 mg/kg has been reported in the rat.
ADI (Acceptable Daily Intake) for humans is 0.01 mg/kg bw/day.

For FLUTRIAFOL:
Environmental fate, persistence and degradation:
Flutriafol is rapidly and completely degraded by microbial degradation in soil and water. The half life in soil is 1.5 days
and in water 1-4 days.
Aquatic toxicity:
Harmful to aquatic organisms. Risk of bioaccumulation in an aquatic species is low.
Log Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient: 2.3
48hr LC50 (Daphnia magna): 78 mg/L.
96hr LC50 (rainbow trout): 61 mg/L.
Terrestrial toxicity: Harmless to terrestrial species. Low toxicity to bees.
Oral LD50 (mallard duck): >5,000 mg/kg (females).
Oral LD50 (ug/bee): >5 ug/bee.
13. Disposal considerations
Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted
chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not
recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury
the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways,
desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt.
