Hazard Statements
H316 Causes mild skin irritation.

3. COMPOSITION INFORMATION
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand 0800
764 766).
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until
fully recovered. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Skin Contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running
water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.
Eye contact: If in eyes wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to drink.
Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water. Seek medical
advice.
PPE for First Aiders: Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses. Available information suggests that
gloves made from nitrile rubber should be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove
construction and local conditions, the user should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking,
eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or
re-using.
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray),
alcohol resistant foam, standard foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS
Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear
protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and the inhalation of vapours. Work up wind or
increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert
material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops,
sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Handling: Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or
aerosols.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.
WES-TWA (Workplace Exposure Standard - Time-weighted average). The average airborne concentration of a
substance calculated over an eight-hour working day.
WES-Ceiling (Workplace Exposure Standard - Ceiling). A concentration that should not be exceeded at any time
during any part of the working day.
WES-STEL (Workplace Exposure Standard - Short-term exposure limit). The 15-minute time weighted average
exposure standard. Applies to any 15-minute period in the working day and is designed to protect the worker
against adverse effects of irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue change, or narcosis that may increase the
likelihood of accidents. The WES-STEL is not an alternative to the WES-TWA; both the short-term and time-
weighted average exposures apply. Exposures at concentrations between the WES-TWA and the WES-STEL
should be less than 15 minutes, should occur no more than four times per day, and there should be at least 60
minutes between successive exposures in this range.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should not
exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed during
product manufacture.
Biological Limit Values: As per the WorkSafe New Zealand the ingredients in this material do not have a
Biological Limit Allocated.
Engineering Measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing appropriate
respirator. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. Do NOT enter confined spaces
where vapour may have collected.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be suitable for the nature of the work and any hazard associated with
the work as identified by the risk assessment conducted.
Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses. Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile
rubber should be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local
conditions, the user should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or
using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid eye contact and
repeated or prolonged skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash stations
and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
