long term.
Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term ingestion.
Carcinogen Status:
NOHSC: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NOHSC.
NTP: No significant ingredient is classified as carcinogenic by NTP.

This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non
hazardous ingredients are also possible.
The 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 should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should
not be repeated for 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 irritation occurs, contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor. 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. In severe cases, 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 warm water (use non-
abrasive soap if necessary) for 10-20 minutes or until product is removed. Under running water, remove contaminated
clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g. watchbands and belts) and completely decontaminate them before reuse or
discard. If irritation persists, repeat flushing and seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 20 minutes or until
the product is removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the
unaffected eye or onto the face. Obtain medical attention immediately. 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 moderate risk of an explosion
from this product if commercial quantities are involved in a fire. Firefighters should take care and appropriate
precautions. 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. Vapours from this product are heavier than air and may accumulate
in sumps, pits and other low-lying spaces, forming potentially explosive mixtures. They may also flash back
considerable distances.
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: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade.
Flash point: 40掳C

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Evacuate
the spill area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Immediately call the Fire Brigade. 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. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum, protective 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 G cartridge, suitable for agricultural chemicals.
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. Refer to product label for specific instructions. After spills, wash
area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a significant quantity of material enters drains, advise emergency
services. Full details regarding disposal of used containers, spillage and unused material may be found on the label. If
there is any conflict between this MSDS and the label, instructions on the label prevail. 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.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Keep exposure to this product to a minimum, and minimise the quantities kept in work areas. Check
Section 8 of this MSDS for details of personal protective measures, and make sure that those measures are followed.
The measures detailed below under "Storage" should be followed during handling in order to minimise risks to
persons using the product in the workplace. Also, avoid contact or contamination of product with incompatible
materials listed in Section 10.
Storage: This product is a Scheduled Poison. Observe all relevant regulations regarding sale, transport and storage
of this schedule of poison. Store in a cool, well ventilated area, and make sure that surrounding electrical devices and
switches are suitable. Check containers periodically for leaks. Containers should be kept closed in order to minimise
contamination and possible evaporation. Make sure that the product does not come into contact with substances
listed under "Incompatibilities" in Section 10. If you keep more than 1000L of flammable liquids of Packaging Group
III, you are probably required to license the premises or notify your Dangerous Goods authority. If you have any
doubts, we suggest you contact your Dangerous Goods authority in order to clarify your obligations. Check packaging
- there may be further storage instructions on the label.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
The following Australian Standards will provide general advice regarding safety clothing and equipment:
Respiratory equipment: AS/NZS 1715, Protective Gloves: AS 2161, Industrial Clothing: AS2919, Industrial Eye

each user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked. The Hierarchy of
Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and only if all else fails
should disposal be considered. Note that properties of a product may change in use, so that the following suggestions
may not always be appropriate. The following may help you in properly addressing this matter for this product. Special
help is available for the disposal of Agricultural Chemicals. The product label will give general advice regarding
disposal of small quantities, and how to cleanse containers. However, for help with the collection of unwanted rural
chemicals, contact ChemClear (02) 6230 4799 http://www.chemclear.com.au/ and for help with the disposal of empty
