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 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Accidental release: Minor spills do not normally need any special cleanup measures. In the event of a major spill,
prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. As a minimum, wear overalls, goggles and gloves. Suitable
materials for protective clothing include rubber, PVC. 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. 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.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
