Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients
TWA (mg/m3) STEL (mg/m3)
Ingredients CAS No Conc,%
Xylene 1330-20-7 10 - 60 350 655
Coal tar 8007-45-2 10 - 60 not set not set
Pigments and plasticisers 10 - 60 not set not set
Minor ingredients < 10 not set not set
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non
hazardous ingredients are also possible.
The ASCC TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day
for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that may be equalled (but should not be exceeded) for no
longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures
at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
General Information:
You should call The Poisons Information Centre if you feel that you may have been poisoned, burned or irritated by
this product. The number is 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) and is available at all
times. Have this MSDS with you when you call.
Inhalation: If symptoms of poisoning become evident, contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor at
once. Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be beneficial if
administered by trained personnel, preferably on a doctor's advice. DO NOT allow victim to move about
unnecessarily. Symptoms of pulmonary oedema can be delayed up to 48 hours after exposure.
Skin Contact: Quickly and gently blot away excess liquid. Wash gently and thoroughly with water (use non-abrasive
soap if necessary) for 10 minutes or until chemical is removed. If irritation persists, repeat flushing and obtain medical
advice.
Eye Contact: Quickly and gently blot material from eyes. Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm,
gently flowing water for 15 minutes or until the product is removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Obtain medical
advice immediately if irritation occurs. Take special care if exposed person is wearing contact lenses.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Wash mouth with water and contact a Poisons Information
Centre, or call a doctor.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Fire and Explosion Hazards: This product is classified as flammable. There is a slight risk of an explosion from
this product if commercial quantities are involved in a fire. Any explosion will likely spread the fire to surrounding
materials. Water spray may be used to cool drums involved in a fire, reducing the chances of an explosion. Violent
steam generation or eruption may occur upon application of direct water stream on hot liquids.
Fire decomposition products from this product may be toxic if inhaled. Take appropriate protective measures.
Extinguishing Media: Preferred extinguishing media are carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water fog. Foam is
the preferred medium for large fires. Ensure that no spillage enters drains or water courses.
Fire Fighting: When fighting fires involving significant quantities of this product, wear a splash suit complete with
self contained breathing apparatus.
Flash point: 44掳C
Upper Flammability Limit: 7.0%
Lower Flammability Limit: 0.6%
Autoignition temperature: No data.
Flammability Class: Flammable
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Wear full
protective clothing including eye/face protection. All skin areas should be covered. See below under Personal
Protection regarding Australian Standards relating to personal protective equipment. Suitable materials for protective
clothing include rubber, PVC, polyvinyl alcohol, Teflon, PE/EVAL. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as
a minimum, protective glasses and, preferably, goggles. If there is a significant chance that vapours or mists are likely
to build up in the cleanup area, we recommend that you use a respirator. It should be fitted with a type A cartridge,
suitable for organic vapours.

Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Absorb onto sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material. If spill
is too large or if absorbent material is not available, try to create a dike to stop material spreading or going into drains
or waterways. Avoid using sawdust or other combustible material. Any electrical equipment should be non-sparking.
Any equipment capable of building an electrostatic charge should be electrically grounded. Sweep up and shovel or
collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Recycle
containers wherever possible after careful cleaning. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a
significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency services. This material may be suitable for approved
landfill. Ensure legality of disposal by consulting regulations prior to disposal. Thoroughly launder protective clothing
before storage or re-use. Advise laundry of nature of contamination when sending contaminated clothing to laundry.
