Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES ...
FIRE FIGHTING
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water
courses.
- Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
- DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
- Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
- If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
- Equipment should be thoroughly decontaminated after use.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING GUIDLINES (ERPG)
The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearlyall
individuals could be exposed for up to one hour WITHOUTexperiencing or developing
life-threatening health effects is:
irreversible or other serious effects or symptoms which could
impair an individual's ability to take protective action is:
other than mild, transient adverse effects
without perceiving a clearlydefined odour is:
American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA)
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
- Limit all unnecessary personal contact.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Avoid contact with incompatible materials.
- When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
- Keep containers securely sealed when not in use.
- Avoid physical damage to containers.
- Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
- Work clothes should be laundered separately.
- Use good occupational work practice.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
- Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards
to ensure safe working conditions are maintained.

EXPOSURE STANDARDS FOR MIXTURE
"Worst Case" computer-aided prediction of spray/ mist or fume/ dust components
and concentration:
Composite Exposure Standard for Mixture (TWA) :10 mg/m鲁.
Operations which produce a spray/mist or fume/dust, introduce particulates to
the breathing zone.
If the breathing zone concentration of ANYof the components listed below is
exceeded, "Worst Case" considerations deem the individual to be overexposed.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE
- Safetyglasses with side shields; or as required,
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all
lenses concentrate them.
HANDS/FEET
Wear chemical protective gloves. eg. PVC gloves with barrier cream
Wear safety footwear.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- Eyewash unit.
RESPIRATOR
Selection of the Class and Type of respirator will depend upon the level of
breathing zone contaminant and the chemical nature of the contaminant.
Protection Factors (defined as the ratio of contaminant outside and inside the
mask) may also be important.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Not normally a hazard due to the physical form of product. The material is a
physical irritant to the gastro-intestinal tract
EYE
Overexposure is unlikely in this form.

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ...
SKIN
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation
following contact (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
INHALED
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product.
The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or irritation of
the respiratory tract (as classified by EC Directives using animal models).
Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum
and that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Long-term exposure to the product is not thought to produce chronic effects
adverse to health (as classified by EC Directives using animal models);
nevertheless exposure by all routes should be minimised as a matter of course.
