|
| Inhalation |
Remove source of contamination or victim to fresh air.
Ensure airways are clear and have qualified person give oxygen through a
facemask if breathing is difficult. If irritation develops and persists,
seek medical attention. |
| Ingestion |
DO NOT induce vomiting. Wash mouth out with water.
Seek medical attention. |
| Skin |
Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse or discard. If symptoms
develop seek medical attention.

If contact with the eye(s) occurs, wash with copious
amounts of water holding eyelid(s) open. Take care not to rinse
contaminated water into the non-affected eye. If symptoms persist seek
medical attention. |
| First Aid Facilities |
Eye wash and normal washroom
facilities.
|
| Advice to Doctor |
Treat symptomatically. |

| Hazchem Code |
None Allocated |
|
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|
| Emergency Procedures |
Increase ventilation. Use full protective clothing to
minimise inhalation, skin and eye exposure. Sweep/collect up spill
avoiding dust/vapours generation. Collect the material and place into a
suitable labelled container for recycling or disposal. Wash surfaces well
with water. Do not allow product to enter drains or waterways. If the
spillage enters the waterways contact the Environmental Protection
Authority, or your local Waste Management Authority. |
|
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|
Precautions for
Safe Handling |
Use smallest possible amounts in designated areas with
adequate ventilation. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks,
etc.) readily available. Label containers. Keep containers closed when not
in use. Wear appropriate protective equipment to prevent inhalation, skin
and eye contact. Ensure a high level of personal hygiene is maintained
when using this product. That is; always wash hands before eating,
drinking, smoking or using the toilet. |
Conditions for Safe
Storage |
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of
direct sunlight and moisture. Store in labelled, corrosion-resistant
containers. Keep containers tightly closed. Have appropriate fire
extinguishers available in and near the storage area. |
| Storage Temperatures |
< 32°C |
|
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL
PROTECTION |
|
National Exposure
Standards |
No exposure standards have been established for this
material by the National Occupational Health And Safety Commission
(NOHSC). |
Biological Limit
Values |
No biological limit allocated.
|
| Engineering Controls |
Use with good general ventilation. If dusts or vapours
are produced local exhaust ventilation should be used. |
Respiratory
Protection |
Where sufficient ventilation is not available, and
grinding or sanding is being undertaken, avoid breathing dust by wearing
an AS 1716 approved P1 or P2 particulate filter respirator. Final choice
of appropriate breathing protection is dependant upon actual airborne
concentrations and the type of breathing protection required will vary
according to individual circumstances. Expert advice may be required to
make this decision. Reference should be made to Australian Standards
AS/NZS 1715, Selection, Use and maintenance of Respiratory Protective
Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices. |
| Eye Protection |
Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full-face
shield as appropriate recommended. Final choice of appropriate eye/face
protection will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of
handling or engineering controls and according to risk assessments
undertaken. Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand
Standard AS/NZS 1337 - Eye Protectors for Industrial
Applications. |
| Hand Protection |
Wear gloves of impervious material. Final choice of
appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances i.e.
methods of handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. Reference
should be made to AS/NZS 2161.1: Occupational protective gloves -
Selection, use and maintenance. |
| Body Protection |
Wear appropriate clothing including chemical resistant
apron where clothing is likely to be contaminated. It is advisable that a
local supplier of personal protective clothing is consulted regarding the
choice of material. |
