Material Safety Data Sheet
Inhalation: Remove victim from area of exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Seek medical advice if effects
persist.
Skin Contact: Wipe excess material from skin with a clean rag or paper towel (do NOT use solvent to clean skin).
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, give a glass of water to drink. If vomiting occurs give further
water. Seek medical advice.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Specific Hazards: Non-combustible material.
Fire-fighting advice: Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the
material, the residual material can burn if ignited. On burning will emit toxic fumes. 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
SMALL SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wipe up with rag or absorbent paper.
LARGE SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin
and eye contact. 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. Wash area down with excess water. Cured material
can only be removed by cutting or abrasion.
7. Handling and storage
Handling advice: Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact.
Storage advice: Store in cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible materials described in
Section 10. Protect from freezing. 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 National Occupational Health and Safety Commission. However,
Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):
Product Name: SPAKFILLA RAPID
Substance No: 000000002253 Issued: 30/06/2004 Version: 3

Material Safety Data Sheet
Calcium carbonate: 8hr TWA = 10 mg/m3
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission.
TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week
over an entire working life.
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:
Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use conditions. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Selleys 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.
