Poisons Schedule (Aust)/Toxic Substance (NZ): S6
This material is a Scheduled Poison S6 and must be stored, maintained and used in accordance with the
relevant regulations.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Poison Information Centres in each State capital city can provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Give water to drink. Do NOT induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical
assistance.
Eye contact: Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held
open. Remove clothing if contaminated and wash skin. Urgently seek medical assistance. Transport to hospital
or medical centre.
Skin contact: Immediately wash contaminated skin with plenty of soap and water. Remove contaminated
clothing and wash before re-use. Some components (2-Butoxy ethanol and Diethylene triamine) can be
absorbed through the skin with resultant toxic effects. Seek immediate medical advice.
Inhalation: Remove victim from 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. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have qualified
person give oxygen through a face mask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. In event
of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage. Seek medical advice.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically. Can cause corneal burns.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards: Flammable liquid. May form flammable vapour mixtures with air. All potential sources of
ignition (open flames, pilot lights, furnaces, spark producing switches and electrical equipment etc) must be
eliminated both in and near the work area. Do NOT smoke. Flameproof equipment necessary in area where
this chemical is being used. Nearby equipment must be earthed. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to
source of ignition and flash back.
Fire fighting further advice: Flammable liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes. Keep containers cool with
water spray. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to vapour or products of
combustion.
Suitable extinguishing media: Foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when spilt.
Avoidaccidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and
inhalation of vapours. Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other
inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal. If contamination of sewers or
waterways has occurred advise the local emergency services.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage: Store in well ventilated area. Store away from acids, oxidizing agents and sources of heat or ignition.
Keep containers closed at all times - check regularly for leaks.
This material is a Scheduled Poison S6 and must be stored, maintained and used in accordance with the
relevant regulations.

No Exposure Standards assigned to other constituents.
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission
(Worksafe Australia).
TWA - the Time-Weighted Average airborne concentrations over an
eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week over an entire
working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration
over a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during
a normal eight-hour work day. According to current knowledge these
concentrations should neither impair the health of, nor cause undue
discomfort to, nearly all workers.
鈥橲k鈥? notice - absorption through the skin may be a significant source of
exposure. The exposure standard is invalidated if such contact should
occur.
鈥橲en鈥? notice - sensitiser. The substance can cause a specific immune
response in some people. An affected individual may subsequently react
to exposure to minute levels of that substance.
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. 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 measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are
controlled below quoted exposure standards. Keep containers closed when not in use. Vapour heavier than air
- prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. DO NOT enterconfined spaces where vapour may have collected.
Personal protection equipment: OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES, GLOVES (Short),
RESPIRATOR.
Code:H -Orica Personal Protection Guide No.1, 1998
Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapour. Wear overalls, chemical goggles and impervious gloves.
Usewith adequate ventilation. If risk of inhalation of spray mists exists, wear combined organic vapour/particulate
respirator meetingthe 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 storing or
re-using.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the
product label. Symptoms that may arise if the product is mishandled are:
Acute Effects
Ingestion: Swallowing can result in chemical burns.
Eye contact: Corrosive to eyes; contact can cause corneal burns. Contamination of the eyes can result in
permanent injury.
Skin contact: Corrosive to skin - may cause skin burns. May cause sensitisation by skin contact. Some
components (2-Butoxy ethanol and Diethylene triamine) of this material can be absorbed through the skin.
Inhalation: Vapour is irritant to mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Inhalation of vapour can result in
headaches, dizziness and possible nausea. Inhalation of high concentrations can produce central nervous
system depression, which can lead to loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement and, if exposure is prolonged,
unconsciousness.
Long Term Effects:
Evidence from animal tests indicate that repeated or prolonged exposure to 2-butoxyethanol could result in
liver,kidney, blood and central nervous system disorders (1). Exposure to triethylene tetramine may cause
sensitisation by inhalation (2).
Acute toxicity / Chronic toxicity
No LD50 data available for product. The toxicity of the product may be
attributed to the solvents it contains. Additive effects may occur with
mixtures of solvents. Similar effects can occur where the consumption
of alcohol is also involved.
For 2-Butoxy ethanol, the major solvent (1):
Oral LD50(rat): 530 - 3000 mg/kg *
Oral LD50 (guinea pig): 950-1414 mg/kg
Dermal LD50(rabbit): 100 - 610 mg/kg *
Dermal LD50(guinea pig): 1200->2000 mg/kg
Inhalation LC50 (rat): 450-490 ppm/4H
* Studies indicate older animals are more susceptible to haemolytic
effects than younger animals. This may contribute to the large
variation observed in oral and dermal LD50 values.
Early deaths in animals from high doses of 2-butoxyethanol have been
attributed to narcosis while delayed deaths were attributed to lung and
kidney damage which was probably secondary to haemolysis.

In a repeat insult patch test carried out on 200 volunteers,
2-butoxyethanol was not a skin sensitiser.
Long-term exposure to 2-butoxyethanol can cause blood changes, including
anaemia, in rats. Both 2-butoxyethanol and its metabolite, butoxyacetic
acid, can cause breakdown of red blood cells, however, in vitro and in
vivo tests have shown that human red blood cells are comparatively
insensitive to this effect.
Animal studies have shown that exposure to 2-butoxyethanol, during
pregnancy, produced no selective teratogenic effects in the offspring.
In the rat, foetotoxic effects were only observed at concentrations that
also produced maternal toxicity (ie. 200 ppm). Also, 2-butoxyethanol
did not produce testicular atrophy in male rats.
Not genotoxic in a range of in vitro studies.
