Hazchem Code: None allocated. [Aust]



Flammability

This material is not combustible or flammable liquid.



6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Emergency Procedures:

Keep unnecessary people away; Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; Keep out of low areas. Do not walk or

touch spilt material unless wearing personal protection as outlined under Personal Protection information of this MSDS.



Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up Procedures:

Neutralize spill with mild alkali (sodium bicarbonate, very dilute sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)) solution, add

cautiously and slowly to spill. Throw diatomaceous earth (kitty litter) onto spill. DO NOT use sawdust. Use non-

sparking tools. Place into labeled drum for later disposal.



7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling:

Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid breathing of vapours. Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store

away from sources of heat or ignition. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store below 278 C, to maximize shelf-life.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Standards



No exposure standards are available for this product, however, the following exposure standards have been assigned by

[NOHSC] to the following components of the product:



AMORPHOUS SILICA

[NOHSC]

[TWA]2 mg/m3



CRYSTALLINE SILICA - QUARTZ

[NOHSC]

[TWA]0.2 mg/m3



CHROMIUM TRIOXIDE

[NOHSC]

[TWA]0.5 mg/m3



PHOSPHORIC ACID

[NOHSC]

[TWA]1 mg/m3

[STEL]3 mg/m3



Notices: H



Engineering Controls

Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are adequate unless the

material is heated, reacted or used in a confined space, then the use of a local exhaust ventilation system is

recommended.



Personal Protection Equipment

GLOVES: The use of neoprene or nitrile gloves is recommended.

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. The use of an acid gas vapour respirator with replaceable filters is recommended. Filter capacity and

respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. 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

ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS

Swallowed:

May cause irritation to mouth, throat and stomach with effects including mucous build up, irritation to the tongue and

lips and pains in the stomach, which may lead to nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.



Eye:

Will cause irritation to the eyes, with effects including: tearing, pain, stinging and blurred vision. Depending upon

duration of exposure, eye damage may occur.



Skin:

Will cause irritation to the skin, with effects including; Redness, itchiness, and possible dermatitis. This product will

cause sensitisation by skin contact, which may lead to allergic contact dermatitis.



Inhaled:

Very toxic if inhaled. There is evidence to suggest that the inhalation of this product, over a period of time may lead to

the development of cancer. Will cause irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory system with effects including:

Dizziness, headache, coughing, loss of co-ordination and chest pains.



Chronic:

Prolonged or repeated skin contact may lead to dermatitis.

Prolonged contact may cause severe eye irritation and some form of permanent eye damage may occur.

Prolonged or repeated contact with this substance will cause sensitisation by skin contact.



Exposure to respirable crystalline quartz may cause delayed (chronic) lung disease known as silicosis; Acute or

rapidly developing silicosis may occur in a period of time in heavy exposure in certain occupations such as,

sandblasting, however, this can be minimized if



(a). Proper ventilation is employed and

(b) in the absence of ventilation a suitable respirator is used.

Confirmed Human Carcinogen (Group I) (IARC, 1997,V.68).



CHROMIUM TRIOXIDE has been classified as a CATEGORY 1 CARCINOGEN (WORKSAFE).

Established human carcinogens are those substances known to be carcinogenic to humans. There is sufficient evidence

to establish a casual association between human exposure to these substances and the development of cancer.

The following toxicological information is available for the ingredient:







CHROMIUM TRIOXIDE:

CLASSIFICATION

Results of occupational epidemiological studies of chromium-exposed workers are consistent across investigators and

study populations. Dose-response relationships have been established for chromium exposure and lung cancer.
