5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
HAZARDS FROM COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: On combustion or on thermal decomposition (pyrolysis), there
will be a release of oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen and noxious smoke.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS AND SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) required for fire-fighting personnel. If possible to do so safely, shut off fuel to fire. Avoid
spreading burning liquid with water used for cooling fire exposed containers when using water spray, boil-over may
occur when the product temperature reaches the boiling point of water, thereby resulting in re-ignition.
HAZCHEM CODE: 2X [Aust]
FLAMMABILITY
This product is a COMBUSTIBLE (C2) LIQUID and must be stored, handled and used according to the requirements
of AS 1940 [Aust].
Flash Point: 251.6掳C
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures:
Combustible liquid. Avoid all sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away; Isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Ventilate area. Wear suitable protective equipment as outlined under personal protection in this MSDS.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up Procedures:
Throw diatomaceous earth onto spill. DO NOT use sawdust. ALLOW TO ABSORB. Use non-sparking tools or
HEPA vacuum system to pick up. Place into labelled drum for later disposal. If risk of fire, blanket the spill with foam
or use water fog to disperse vapour clouds. Consult an expert regarding disposal of this product.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Combustible liquid. Avoid ignition sources. Do not get in eyes. Avoid direct or prolonged contact with skin. Provide
adequate ventilation.
Conditions for Safe Storage:
Keep containers tightly closed, when not using the product. Store in original packages as approved by manufacturer.
Store in an area that is dry and well-ventilation away from ignition sources. Store at temperatures below 50掳C. Store
away from strong alkalis, acids and oxidizing agents. For further information please refer to the Engineering Controls of
this MSDS.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards
No exposure standards are available for this product, however, the following exposure standards have been assigned by
[ASCC/NOHSC] to the following components of the product:
RESORCINOL
[ASCC/NOHSC]
[TWA] 10 ppm 45 mg/m3
[STEL] 20 ppm 90 mg/m3
References: H
Engineering Controls
Maintain adequate ventilation at all times.
Personal Protection Equipment
GLOVES: Nitrile or neoprene.
EYES: Chemical goggles or spectacles with side shields to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of vapours. Select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS
1715/1716. When vapours approach the exposure standards then the use of a half-face respirator fitted with an organic
vapour cartridge is recommended. When vapours exceed the exposure standards, the use of an positive pressure demand
self-contained or airline breathing apparatus supplied air respirator complying with the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 is
recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels. If entering spaces where the airborne
concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive
pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable International Standard is
recommended.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No adverse health effects are expected, if the product is handled in accordance with this Material Safety Data Sheet and
the product label. Symptoms and effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS:
Swallowed:
May cause irritation to mouth, throat and stomach with effects including pains in the stomach, which may lead to
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Eye:
May cause irritation to the eyes, with effects including: tearing, pain, stinging and blurred vision.
Skin:
May cause irritation to the skin, with effects including; Redness, itchiness, and drying/defatting.
Inhaled:
Mists from the product may cause irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory system.
Chronic:
Prolonged or repeated contact with this substance will cause sensitisation by skin contact.
Resorcinol:
Oral LD50(rat): 301 mg/kg
Resorcinol (m-dihydroxybenzene) has been shown to be a skin and eye irritant, based upon Draize criteria. Prolonged
exposure to concentrated solutions has caused dermatitis and corrosivity, absorption through the skin has resulted in
methemoglobinuria, cyanosis, convulsions and possible death.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
There is no ecological information available for this product, however, large quantities should not be discharged into
drains, sewers or waterways.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
