4 – First Aid Measures

Ingestion (Swallowed): Aspiration Hazard. DO NOT induce vomiting. Call a Poisons Information
Center (phone 13 11 26 from anywhere in Australia or 0800 764 766 in New Zealand)
immediately.
Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water. Remove contact lenses if present after the first 5
minutes and continue flushing for several more minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water. If irritation develops and persists, get medical
attention.
Inhalation (Breathing): If irritation is experienced, move to fresh air. Get medical attention if
irritation or other symptoms develop and persist.
Most Important Symptoms: Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Accidental ingestion may cause
gastrointestinal effects with irritation, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, coma and death. Aspiration
into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting may cause lung damage. May cause eye irritation.
Skin contact may cause drying of the skin. Inhalation of mists may cause coughing, headache
and dizziness.
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment, if Needed: Immediate
medical attention is required for ingestion.

5 – Fire Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water fog, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Do not use
water jet or flooding amounts of water. Burning product will float on the surface and spread fire.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical: Combustible liquid. Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel along surfaces to remote ignition sources and flash back. A vapor and air mixture
can create an explosion hazard in confined spaces. Combustion will produce oxides of carbon
and hydrocarbons.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters: Firefighters should always
wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Cool fire-
exposed containers with water.

6 – Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Eliminate all
sources of ignition and ventilate area. Wear appropriate protective clothing (see Section 8).
Environmental Precautions: Report spills to authorities as required.
Methods and Materials for Containment/Cleanup: Contain and collect liquid with an inert
absorbent material and place in a container for disposal. Clean spill area thoroughly.

7 – Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged contact with skin.
Avoid breathing vapors or mists. Use only with adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat,
sparks, hot surfaces and open flames. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Conditions for Safe Storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in a cool, dry ventilated
area away from incompatible materials.

The Following Controls are Recommended for Normal Consumer Use of this Product
Appropriate Engineering Controls: Use in a well-ventilated area.
Personal Protection:
Eye Protection: Avoid eye contact. Safety glasses or goggles recommended.
Skin Protection: Avoid prolonged skin contact. Chemical resistant gloves recommended for
operations where skin contact is likely.
Respiratory Protection: None needed for normal use with adequate ventilation.

For Bulk Processing or Workplace Use the Following Controls are Recommended
Appropriate Engineering Controls: Use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to
maintain exposure levels below that occupational exposure limits.
Personal Protection:
Eye Protection: Safety goggles recommended where eye contact is possible.
Skin Protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves.
Respiratory Protection: None required if ventilation is adequate. If the occupational exposure
limits are exceeded, wear an approved respirator. Respirator selection and use should be based
on contaminant type, form and concentration. Follow applicable regulations and good Industrial
Hygiene practice.
Work/Hygiene Practices: Wash with soap and water after handling.
Other Protective Equipment: None required.
