4. FIRST AID MEASURES
For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone eg. Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0 800 764766) or a doctor.
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. If patient finds breathing difficult and develops a bluish
discolouration of the skin (which suggests a lack of oxygen in the blood - cyanosis), ensure airways
are clear of any obstruction and have a qualified person give oxygen through a face mask. Apply
artificial respiration if patient is not breathing. Seek immediate medical advice.

Safety Data Sheet
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.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Get to a doctor or hospital quickly.
Medical attention Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazards from combustion Flammable liquid. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon
products: .
Precautions for fire fighters and Keep containers cool with water spray. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing
special protective equipment: apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of
combustion.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Alcohol resistant foam is the preferred firefighting medium but, if it is not available,
normal protein foam can be used.
Hazchem Code: 路 3Y
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency procedures: If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Methods and materials for Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and
containment and clean up: eye contact. Avoid breathing in vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Contain -
prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert
material). 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 vapour. 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. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to
source of ignition and flash back.

Safety Data Sheet
Conditions for safe storage: Store in a well ventilated area away from foodstuffs, oxidising agents and sources of
heat or ignition. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.
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):
White spirits (Stoddard solvent): WES-TWA 100 ppm, 525 mg/m3
No value assigned for this specific material by the New Zealand Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH).
No Exposure Standards assigned to other constituents.
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. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. DO NOT enter confined spaces where
vapour may have collected. 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: G - OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES,
RESPIRATOR.
Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic
vapour 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.

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 or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are:
Ingestion: Swallowing can result in nausea, vomiting and central nervous system depression. If the victim is
showing signs of central system depression (like those of drunkeness) there is greater likelihood of the
patient breathing in vomit and causing damage to the lungs. Breathing in vomit may lead to aspiration
pneumonia (inflammation of the lung).

Safety Data Sheet
Eye contact: May be an eye irritant.
Skin contact: Contact with skin may result in irritation. Will have a degreasing action on the skin. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact may lead to irritant contact dermatitis.
Inhalation: Material may be irritant to the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract (airways). Breathing in vapour
can result in headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and possible nausea. Breathing in high concentrations
can produce central nervous system depression, which can lead to loss of co-ordination, impaired
judgement and if exposure is prolonged, unconsciousness.
