PUBLICATION SUMMARY REPORT
Polymer in HyJet IV-A Plus and HyJet V
Summary Report
Reference No: EX/161
Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 88 004 052 984) of 12 Riverside Quay South Bank VIC
3006 has submitted a polymer of low concern (PLC) notification statement in support of their
application for an assessment certificate for Polymer in HyJet IV-A Plus and HyJet V. The
notified polymer is intended to be used as a viscosity index improver in aviation hydraulic
fluids. Up to 4 tonnes of the notified polymer will be imported per annum for each of the first
five years.
Since the assessment certificate has been granted for the above notified chemical, Aviall
Australia Pty Ltd of 20-22 Lindaway Place, Tullamarine, VIC 3043 has submitted an
application for extension of the assessment certificate, together with a written agreement of
the holders of the original certificate (Mobil Oil Australia Pty Ltd) for importing up to 2
tonnes of the notified polymer per annum for use as a component in aviation hydraulic fluids.
Hazard Assessment
The notified polymer meets the PLC criteria and can therefore be considered to be of low
hazard.
Occupational Health and Safety
There is No Concern to occupational health and safety under the conditions of the
occupational settings described.
Public Health
There is Negligible Concern to public health when used in the proposed manner.
Environmental Effects
The polymer is not considered to pose a risk to the environment based on its reported use
pattern.
Risk assessment and recommendation relating to the extension application
The proposed use of the notified polymer will not change under the proposed extension. The
circumstances in the extension application are not expected to impact on the original human
health and environment risk assessment. Therefore, there are no changes required in the risk
assessment and recommendations.

Recommendations
Control Measures
Occupational Health and Safety

No specific engineering controls, work practices or personal protective equipment are
required for the safe use of the notified polymer itself, however, these should be
selected on the basis of all ingredients in the formulation.
Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian,
Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards.

A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees.

If products and mixtures containing the notified polymer are classified as hazardous to
health in accordance with the NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous
Substances, workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of
State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation.
Environment
Disposal

The notified polymer should be disposed of by authorised incineration.
Emergency procedures

Spills and/or accidental release of the notified polymer should be handled by physical
containment such as diking. Adsorb with inert material (diatomaceous earth, fire
retardant treated saw dust, etc) and collect for disposal.
Secondary Notification
The Director of Chemicals Notification and Assessment must be notified in writing within 28
days by the notifier, other importer or manufacturer:
Under subsection 64(1) of the Act; if
 the notified polymer is introduced in a chemical form that does not meet the PLC
criteria.
or
Under subsection 64(2) of the Act:
- if any of the circumstances listed in the subsection arise.
The Director will then decide whether secondary notification is required.
