Section 5 鈥? Fire Fighting Measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical powder, foam or carbon dioxide. Foam is the preferred medium for large
fires.
FIRE FIGHTING: Alert Fire Brigade immediately. Product may be violently or explosively reactive. Wear
breathing apparatus and gloves. Avoid bodily contact with substance or run-off. If safe,
switch off electrical equipment until vapour fire hazard is removed. Use water delivered as
a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent areas. 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.
FIRE / EXPLOSION HAZARD: Liquid and vapour are flammable. Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or
flame. Vapour forms an explosive mix with air. Moderate explosion hazard when exposed
to heat or flame. Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition. Heating
may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers. On
combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide.
HAZCHEM CODE: 3[Y]
Section 6 鈥? Accidental Release Measures
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Evacuate all unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Remove all ignition sources and
clean up all spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with skin or eyes.
Control personal contact using protective equipment. Contain and absorb small quantities
with vermiculite or other absorbent material. Wipe up and collect residues in a flammable
waste container. Prevent by any means available spillage from entering drains or water
courses. Proper Emergency Response Planning should be undertaken for protective actions
in case of spillage.
METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEAN UP:
Refer to State Land Waste Management Authority. Empty containers must be
decontaminated. Normally suitable for disposal at approved land waste sites.
Section 7 鈥? Handling and Storage
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING:
Minimise handling of this product as good work practice. DO NOT allow clothing wet with
material to stay in contact with skin. Electrostatic discharge may be generated during
pumping - this may result in fire. Ensure electrical continuity by bonding and grounding
(earthing) all equipment. Avoid splash filling. Avoid all personal contact, including
inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of overexposure occurs. Use in a well-
ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. DO NOT enter confined
spaces until atmosphere has been checked. Avoid smoking, naked lights or ignition
sources. Avoid generation of static electricity. DO NOT use plastic buckets. Earth all lines
and equipment. Use spark-free tools when handling. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or
smoke. Always wash hands with soap and water after handling. Work clothes should be
laundered separately.
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGE:
Keep containers securely sealed when not in use. Avoid physical damage to containers.
Containers, even when empty, may contain explosive vapours. Do not cut, drill, grind,
weld or perform similar operations on or near containers. Store in original containers in
approved flammable liquid storage area. DO NOT store in pits, depressions, basements or
areas where vapours. No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources. Keep containers
securely sealed. Store away from incompatible materials in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area. Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
INCOMPATIBILITIES: Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.
Section 8 鈥? Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

No exposure limits have been established for this product by ASCC. Other material
ingredients have no listed OELS under the national standards.
BIOLOGICAL LIMIT VALUES: Not established for the product.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use of a quantity of this material in confined space or poorly ventilated area, where
rapid build up of concentrated atmosphere may occur, could require increased ventilation
and/or protective gear. For flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust
ventilation or a process enclosure ventilation system may be required. Ventilation
equipment should be explosion-resistant.
PERSONAL PROTECTION: Avoid unnecessary contact as good work practice. Wash contaminated clothing and
protective equipment before storing and reuse. Wash hands before eating, smoking, or
using the toilet.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: The use of a respirator or other device is recommended where vapour concentration
is present. For assistance in selecting suitable equipment consult AS/NZ1715.
