5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam or dry chemical powder.
Hazards From Combustion Products: Emits oxides of carbon when heated to decomposition.
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. Use water spray to spray to cool fire-
exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. 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.
HAZCHEM CODE: 3[Y]E [Aust]
Flammability
Highly flammable liquid. Vapours from this product may travel or be moved by air currents and be ignited by pilot
lights, other flames, smoking, sparks, heaters, electrical equipment, static discharge or other ignition sources at
locations distant from the point of handling.
Flash Point: 4掳C
Flammability Limits: LEL: 1.2 % UEL: 7.1 %
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures:
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:
Shut off ignition sources, no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Water
spray may reduce vapour; but it may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES (Continued)
SMALL SPILLS:
Throw vermiculite or other inert material onto spill. ALLOW TO ABSORB. DO NOT use sawdust. Use non-sparking
tools or HEPA vacuum system and gather spill material and place into labelled drum(s) for later disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid generating vapours. Avoid all sources of ignition, heat and flames. For further
information please refer to the Engineering Controls of this MSDS.
Conditions for Safe Storage:
Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat or ignition and oxidizing agents. Store
in a flammable liquid storage area. Store in original packages as approved by manufacturer.
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:
ISOPROPANOL
[ASCC/NOHSC]
983 mg/m3
[TWA] 400 ppm
1,230 mg/m3
[STEL] 500 ppm
Notices: H;R
TOLUENE
[ASCC/NOHSC]
377 mg/m3
[TWA] 100 ppm
565 mg/m3
[STEL] 150 ppm
Notices: H;R
Engineering Controls
Highly flammable liquid. Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. Prevent accumulation of vapours in hollows or
sumps. Eliminate any sources of ignition.
Personal Protection Equipment
GLOVES: Nitrile or neoprene is recommended.
EYES: Chemical goggles or spectacles with side shields to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of mists/vapors. Select and use respirators in accordance with
AS/NZS 1715/1716. When mists/vapours exceed the exposure standards then the use of a half-face respirator fitted with
an organic vapour cartridge is recommended. For high concentration use an atmosphere-supplied, positive pressure
demand self-contained or airline breathing apparatus, complying with the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 is
recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant.
