Toxic Substance: S4 Caution.
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.
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: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water. Seek
medical advice.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Specific Hazards: Flammable gas. May form flammable vapour mixtures with air. Avoid all ignition
sources. 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.
Fire-fighting advice: On burning will emit toxic fumes. Heating can cause expansion or decomposition of
the material, which can lead to the containers exploding. If safe to do so, remove
containers from the path of fire. Keep containers cool with water spray. Fire fighters to
wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective 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
Shut off all possible sources of ignition. In the event of an aerosol can developing a leak, allow to fully discharge in the
open air before disposal.
7. Handling and storage
Handling advice: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour, mists and aerosols. Ensure spray nozzle is

always directed away from the user.
Storage advice: Store in cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store away
from oxidising agents. 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):
Butane: WES-TWA 800 ppm, 1,900 mg/m3
Propane: Simple asphyxiant-may present an explosion hazard
White spirits (Stoddard solvent): WES-TWA 100 ppm, 525 mg/m3
As published 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.
Asphyxiant 鈥? gases which can lead to reduction of oxygen concentration by displacement or dilution. The minimum
oxygen content in air should be 18% by volume under normal atmospheric pressure.
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 Control Measures:
Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below quoted Exposure
Standards. Use in well ventilated areas. Keep containers closed when not in use. An asphyxiant gas which can lead to
the displacement or dilution of oxygen. The minimum oxygen content in air should be 18% by volume under normal
atmospheric pressure.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Selleys Factory Safe Handling Code: Green
Green - Wear clean overalls, safety boots, general purpose gloves (PVC) and safety spectacles. Always wash hands
before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before
storage or re-use.
For leaking aerosol cans: Blue - Wear clean overalls, safety boots, general purpose gloves (PVC) and full face visor. If risk
of inhalation exists, wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS
1716.

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.
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: 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. Intentional misuse by
deliberately concentrating and breathing the contents can be harmful or fatal.
Long Term Effects:
