Skin: Unlikely to cause skin irritation following brief or occasional contact, however repeated or prolonged contact may
cause skin irritation and may eventually lead to dermatitis. Solvent will have a drying, defatting effect on skin.
Inhalation: May cause irritant effect on nose and throat. High concentration of vapours, if exposure is prolonged, may
cause unconsciousness, May cause narcosis.
Consult The National Poisons Information Centre (phone Australia: 13 11 26, Phone New Zealand: 0800 764
766), or a Doctor in every case of suspected chemical poisoning. Never give fluids or induce vomiting of a

Inhalation: Remove affected person from contaminated area. Avoid becoming a casualty. Apply artificial respiration if
not breathing. Urgently seek medical advice.
Advice to Doctor: Ingestion causses bleeding and depresses the central nervous system (CNS). The single lethal dose
for an adult is approximately 250mililitres.
SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Fire & Explosion Hazards: Avoid heat and sources of ignition. Prevent build up of flammable vapours. Hoses should
be electrically continuos and containers bonded to avoid static charge build up.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Material is a highly flammable liquid. Fire fighters should wear self-contained
breathing apparatus if there is a risk of exposure to vapour or combustion products. Vapour/ air mixtures may ignite
explosively. Flashback along vapour trail may occur.
Extinguishing Media: Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical Powder, and fog water.
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
Wear appropriate protective equipment (see Section 8). Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Prevent entry
of chemical or used/ damaged containers into sewers, drains, streams or waterways. If necessary inform the
police and the local council.
Methods & Materials for Contamination & Clean Up:
Extinguish any source of flame. Evacuate area, cleaning all unnecessary personnel. Contain liquid. Prevent liquid from
entering storm water drains, basements or workpits. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination.
Absorb spill with soil/ sand and recover material into mild steel drums. Label drums correctly. Dispose in compliance
with local government regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling & Storage
Storage: Store in area approved for storing dangerous goods. Prohibit naked lights, smoking and switch off electrical
equipment likely to emit sparks (electrical motors, refrigerators etc). Keep containers cool and closed. Store only in
original or approved containers.
SECTION 8: Exposure Control/ Personal Protection
Exposure Standards: Propan-2-ol 400ppm 8hr TWA or 983mg/m3.
TWA is the time weighted average concentration of the work atmosphere for a normal 8 hour workday and a 40 hour
week, to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed, day after day, without adverse effect.
Engineering Controls: Avoid breathing vapour and inhaling mists or aerosols. Use in a well ventilated area. Control
3
airborne contamination below exposure guidelines using local exhaust at >20m /m.
Personal Protection: Avoid unnecessary contact as good work practice, Wash contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before storing or reuse. Wash hands before eating, smoking or using the toilet.
Respiratory: We recommend the use of respiratory protection. Use judgement. For assistance in selecting suitable
equipment consult AS/NZ1715.
