4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Inhalation: Remove victim from area of exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing
and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm.
Keep at rest until fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Skin Contact: If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin with running water. If irritation
occurs seek medical advice.
Eye Contact: If in eyes, wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.

treatment:
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion Combustible solid. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of
products: carbon .
Precautions for fire fighters and Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective
special protective equipment: clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry
chemical powder).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures: If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Methods and materials for Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact and breathing in dust. Work
containment and clean up: up wind or increase ventilation. Cover with damp absorbent (inert material, sand or soil).
Sweep or vacuum up, but avoid generating dust. Collect and seal in properly labelled
containers or drums for disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in dust. In common with many organic
chemicals, may form flammable dust clouds in air. For precautions necessary refer to
Safety Data Sheet "Dust Explosion Hazards".
Conditions for safe storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from
incompatible materials described in Section 10. Keep containers closed when not in use
- check regularly for spills.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational Exposure Limits:
No value assigned for this specific material by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH).
However, Workplace Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):

Safety Data Sheet
Nuisance dust: WES-TWA 10 mg/m3
As published by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH).
WES - TWA (Workplace Exposure Standard - Time Weighted Average) - The eight-hour, time-weighted average
exposure standard is designed to protect the worker from the effects of long-term exposure.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering controls:
Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below quoted Exposure
Standards. Before applying consult AS3754 - Safe application of powder coatings by electrostatic spraying. For
electrostatic spraying, ensure continuity of earthing. Avoid generating and breathing in dusts. Use with local exhaust
ventilation or while wearing dust mask. Ensure baking ovens are suitably vented to the atmosphere and that emissions
meet environmental standards. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
The selection of PPE is dependant on a detailed risk assessment. The risk assessment should consider the work
situation, the physical form of the chemical, the handling methods, and environmental factors.
Orica Personal Protection Guide No. 1, 1998: E - OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES, DUST
MASK.
Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves. Avoid generating and inhaling dusts. If dust exists, wear dust
mask/respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Always wash hands before smoking,
eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use.
