First Aid Measures

For advice, contact Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia: 13 11 26) or a doctor. 

Ingestion 

If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention. 

Eye contact 

Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. Seek immediate medical attention.

Skin contact 

Flush area with large amounts of water and wash area with soap if available. Remove contaminated clothing, including  shoes, and launder before reuse. Seek medical attention for skin irritations. 

Inhalation 

Using proper respiratory protection, immediately remove the affective victim from exposure. Administer artificial  respiration if breathing has stopped. Keep at rest. Seek immediate medical attention. 

First aid facilities 

Provide eye baths and safety showers. 

Medical attention 

Treat according to symptoms. 

5. Fire Fighting Measures

Shut off product that may ‘fuel’ a fire if safe to do so. Allow trained personnel to attend a fire in progress providing fire  fighters with this Safety Data Sheet. Prevent extinguishing medial from escaping to drains and waterways. 

Suitable extinguishing media 

If material is involved in a fire use water fog, fine water spray, foam or dry agent. 

Hazards from combustion products 

Non-combustible material. 

Precautions for fire fighters and special protective equipment 

Not combustible, however following evaporation of aqueous component residual material can burn if ignited. On burning  may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing. 

Hazchem code 

None. 

6. Accidental Release Measures

Prevent product from escaping to drains and waterways. Contain leaking packaging in a containment drum. Prevent  vapours or dusts from building up in confined areas. Ensure that drain valves are closed at all times. Clean up and report  spills immediately. 

Methods and materials for containment 

Major land spill 

  • Eliminate source of ignition. 
  • Warn occupants of downwind areas of possible fire and explosion hazard, where present. 
  • Prevent product from entering sewers, watercourses, or low-lying areas. 
  • Keep the public away from the area. 
  • Shut off the source of the spill if possible and safe to do so. 
  • Advise authorities if substance has entered a watercourse or sewer or has contaminated soil or vegetation.
  • Take measures to minimise the effect on the ground water. 
  • Contain the spilled product using the resources in the spill kit. 
  • Recover by pumping – use explosion proof pump or hand pump – or with a suitable absorbent material.
  • Consult an expert on disposal of recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
  • See “First Aid Measures” and “Stability and Reactivity”. 

Major water spill 

  • Eliminate any sources of ignition. 
  • Warn occupants and shipping in downwind areas of possible fire and explosion hazard, where present.
  • Notify the port or relevant authority and keep the public away from the area. 
  • Shut off the source of the spill if possible and safe to do so. 
  • Confine the spill if possible. 
  • Remove the product from the surface by skimming or with suitable absorbent material. 
  • Consult an expert on disposal or recovered material and ensure conformity to local disposal regulations.
  • See “First Aid Measures” and “Stability and Reactivity”. 

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling 

Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosol. 

Conditions for safe storage 

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Protect containers from physical damage and check regularly for leaks.  Avoid release to the environment, store in bunded areas and ensure exit drains are closed. 

Incompatible materials 

Oxidising agents. 

8. Exposure Controls: Personal Protection

National exposure standards 

The time weighted average concentration (TWA) for this product is: None specified, which means the highest allowable exposure concentration in an eight-hour day for a five-day working week. The short-term exposure limit (STEL) is: None  specified, which is the maximum allowable exposure concentration at any times. Replacing a TWA or STEL value for some  products is a Peak Limitation value (Peak): None applies in this case. In addition to the exposure concentrations may be a  subsidiary caution in such cases where the product is a skin sensitiser, represented as (Sen), where None applies in this  case. 

Biological limit values (BLV) 

No data available. 

Engineering controls: Ventilation 

The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control process emissions near the source. Laboratory samples  should be handled in a fume hood. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces. Use explosion proof equipment. 

Personal protective equipment 

Respiratory protection: Where concentrations in air may approach or exceed the limits described in the National Exposure  Standards, it is recommended to use a half-face filter mask to protect from overexposure by inhalation. A type ‘A’ filter  material is considered suitable for this product. 

Eye protection: Always use safety glasses or a face shield when handling this product. 

Skin/body protection: Always wear long sleeves, long trousers, or coveralls, and enclosed footwear or safety boots when  handling this product. It is recommended that chemical resistant gloves be worn when handling this product.
