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 and 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.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Highly Flammable liquid. Avoid ignition sources. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid exposure by all routes.
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 below 27掳C. Can react vigorously
with strong oxidizing agents, strong Lewis or mineral acids, and strong mineral and organic bases; especially primary
and secondary aliphatic amines. 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
[NOHSC] to the following components of the product:
ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOETHYL ETHER
[NOHSC]
18 mg/m3
[TWA]5 ppm
Notices: Sk
Sk Notation:
The main route of most hazardous substances into the body is via inhalation, however, certain substances such as
ethylene glycol monoethyl ether can readily penetrate the skin, with resultant toxic effects. The notice 'Sk' indicates that
absorption can occur through the skin.
References: H
METHYL ETHYL KETONE
[NOHSC]
[TWA]150 ppm 445 mg/m3
[STEL]300 ppm 890 mg/m3
References: A
XYLENE
[NOHSC]
[TWA]80 ppm 350 mg/m3
[STEL]150 ppm 655 mg/m3

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION (Continued)
Engineering Controls
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: Neoprene or nitrile rubber.
EYES: Chemical goggles or spectacles with side shields to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of vapours. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on
exposure levels and type of contaminant. Select and use respirators in accordance with AS/NZS 1715/1716. When
vapours exceed the exposure standards then the use of a half-face respirator fitted with an organic vapour cartridge is
recommended. If entering confined spaces or if unknown levels of contaminate are a potentiality, 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:
Will 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 and itchiness. Xylene produces a defatting dermatitis
with prolonged cutaneous exposure.
Inhaled:
Mists or vapours will cause irritation to the nose, throat and respiratory system with effects including: Dizziness,
headache, coughing, loss of co-ordination and chest pains. Xylene is a central nervous system depressant that produces
lightheadedness, nausea, headache, and ataxia at low doses and confusion, respiratory depression, and coma at high
doses. Above 200 ppm, xylene causes conjunctivitis, nasal irritation, and sore throats; it is a potent respiratory irritant at
high concentrations.
Chronic:
Product may also be absorbed through the skin with resultant toxic effects. Prolonged or repeated exposure may lead to
irreversible damage to health. Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking
Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness.
ETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOETHYL ETHER has been classified as a CATEGORY 2 TOXIC TO
REPRODUCTION (WORKSAFE). Probable human reproductive hazards are those substances for which there is
sufficient evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure might result in impairment in fertility and or
cause birth defects. This evidence is generally based upon appropriate long term animal studies, limited
epidemiological evidence or other relevant information.
Methyl Ethyl Ketone:
Inhalation LC50(rat): 23,500 mg/m3/8H
Oral LD50(rat): 2,737 mg/kg
Xylene:
Inhalation TCLo(Human): 200 ppm
Inhalation LC50(rat): 5,000 ppm/4H
Oral LD50(rat): 4,300 mg/kg
Dermal LD50(rabbit): > 1,700 mg/kg, the literature reports that the standard Draize skin test is considered to be
moderate to severe.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No information is available for this product, however, large quantities should not be discharged to waterways, sewers or
drains.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Refer to appropriate authority in your State. Dispose of material through a licensed waste contractor. Advise flammable
nature. If large amounts of the product enter waterways, sewers or streams, immediately contact the Environmental
Protection Agency or your Local Waste Management Authority.
