Product Name : TRIFOLAMINE Selective Herbicide
Ingestion If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting; seek medical advice immediately and show
this container or label or contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26
(Aust). Make every effort to prevent vomit from entering the lungs by careful
placement of the patient.
The above first aid instructions are mandated by the Commonwealth Department
of Health and Aged Care via the National Drugs and Poisons Schedule. These
instructions are suitable for ingestion of spray solution and small amounts of
concentrate; however, if SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS of the concentrate have been
swallowed (more than about one tablespoon for an adult person) AND if medical
assistance is more than 30 minutes away, the induction of vomiting should be
CONSIDERED, preferably based on MEDICAL ADVICE if a physician can be contacted
by phone. All care must be taken to prevent vomit from being inhaled. Do not
give anything by mouth to a semi-conscious or unconscious person.
Skin Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use.
Eye If in eyes, hold eyelids open and wash with copious amounts of water for at
least 15 minutes.
Seek medical advice.
Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable If involved in a fire, the product will not burn. Choose extinguishing media
to suit the burning material.
Extinguishing Media
Hazards from Non-combustible.
If involved in a fire, it will emit carbon monoxide, phosgene and possibly
Combustion
oxides of phosphorous.
Products

Other Information Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the
application of other materials to sensitive plants, unless it has been well
washed out with hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia, followed by several
clear water rinses.
Sprayed weeds may become more palatable to stock and a higher intake of some
weeds may result in stock poisoning and death from causes such as nitrate
poisoning. Care should be taken especially where capeweed, Paterson's curse
and variegated thistles predominate in the pasture.
Always read the label and any attached leaflet before use.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
National Exposure No exposure standard for this product has been set, however, an exposure
standard has been set for dimethylamine vapour at 2 ppm.
Standards

10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Incompatible Reaction of the concentrate or spray mix with acids will precipitate solid
2,4-DB acid and largely de-activate the product and cause blockages in spray
Materials
equipment.
The addition of a strong alkali such as caustic soda will cause release of
dimethylamine vapour.
Dimethylamine is moderately toxic, LD50 (oral, rat) is 700 mg/kg and a TLV of
2 ppm (TWA) has been set.
Hazardous Reactions Keep away from strong oxidising agents.
Hazardous Hazardous polymerisation is not possible.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicology No harmful effects are expected if the precautions on the label and this MSDS
are followed.
Information
Inhalation When applying the product as a spray avoid breathing in spray mist.
Ingestion May cause irritation to mouth, throat and stomach.
Skin Prolonged contact with the concentrate may cause irrritation and cause skin
eruptions.
Eye The concentrate will cause severe irritation and possible damage unless washed
off immediately.
Chronic Effects Chronic Overexposure: Weight loss and damage to liver and kidneys may be
expected if exposure is excessive.
Acute Toxicity - Oral LD50 (rat) 700 mg/kg for technical 2,4-DB
LD50 (rat) 700 mg/kg for dimethylamine
Acute Toxicity - LD50 (rat) 800 mg/kg for technical 2,4-DB
Dermal
Human Effects Symptoms of acute overexposure may include:
headache, nausea, dizziness and vomiting.
In extreme cases, possibly twitching and spasms, dyspnea, cyanosis and
exhaustion.
Other Information The Australian Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for 2,4-DB for a human is 0.004
mg/kg/day, set for the public for daily, lifetime exposure. This is based on
the NOEL of 1.9 mg/kg/day, the level determined to show no effects during long
term exposure for the most sensitive indicators and the most sensitive
species. (Ref: Comm. Dept. of Health and Ageing, 'ADI List', TGA, June 2006).
