4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Poison Information Centres in each State Capital city can
provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons.
INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Give water to drink
provided victim is conscious. Do Not induce vomiting.
Seek immediate medical attention!.
EYE CONTACT: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of
water holding eyelids open. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT: Remove contaminated clothing.Flush
affected area with plenty of water. If irritation persists,
seek medical attention.
INHALATION: Remove victim from exposure to fresh air.
If not breathing, apply artificial respiration. If breathing is
difficult, give oxygen. Seek medical attention..
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically based on
individual reactions of patient and judgement of doctor.
Note for advice in an emergency. Contact a poisons information centre.(Australia 13-11-26)
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media In case of fire, appropriate extinguishing media include foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide or vapourizing liquids.
Hazards from Combustion Products Flammable liquid,
Vapours are heavier than air and may travel a long
distance and accumulate in low lying areas. Flash back
may occur. Incompatible with oxidizing agents, acids,
Alkalies, bases, organic peroxides, combustible materials and sources of ignition. When involved in a fire,
this product may generate carbon monoxide, carbon
dioxide and hydrocarbons.
Special Protective Precautions and Equipment for Fire
Fighters Fire fighters should wear a positive-pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fir fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet,
coat, trousers, boots and gloves). Clear fire area of all
non-emergency personnel. Stay upwind. Keep out of
low areas where gases or fumes can accumulate. Do
not use direct water stream. Eliminate ignition sources.
Flammable Conditions
Additional Information
Hazchem Code 3[Y]
6.ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Flammable liquid. Avoid naked flames. Ventilate area of
spill. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Clean up personnel
should wear proper protective equipment/clothing. Absorb
material with suitable absorbent and containerise for disposal.

9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES
Precautions for Safe Handling.: Ensure an eye bath and
safety shower are available and ready for use. Observe good
personal hygiene practices and recommended procedures.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges by bonding and grounding
equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do
not inhale product vapours. Containers, even those that have
been emptied, can contain vapours.Do not cut, drill weld or
perform similar operations on or near empty containers.
Conditions for Safe Storage (including any Incompatibles) Store in a cool, dry,well ventilated, fire-proof area
.Keep containes tightly sealed when not in use. Inspect regularly for deficiencies such as damage or leaks. Protect against
physical damage. Ground and bond all equipment. Store
away from incompatible materials including oxidizing
agents, acids, bases, alkalies, organic peroxides, combustible
materials and sources of ignition. Protect from air, direct
sunlight, moisture and electrostatic discharges. Store away
from foodstuffs. This product has a UN classification of
1993 and a Dangerous Goods Class 3 (flammable) according
to The AUSTRALIAN Code for the Transport of Dangerous
Goods By Road and Rail.
Container Type Packaging must comply with requirements

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL
PROTECTION
National Exposure Standards
No exposure standard has been establishes fir this product by
the Australain Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC)
Biological Limit Values
No information available on biological limit values for this
product.
Engineering Controls.
A system of local and / or general exhaust is recommended to
keep employee exposures as low as possible Local exhaust
ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emission of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Use a flame proof exhaust ventilation system.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Respirator: Wear an approved respirator with Type A
Organic vapour and dust/mist filter if engineering controls
are inadequate (AS1715/1716).
Eye protection: Chemical splash goggles (AS1336/1337).
Hands: PVC or rubber gloved (AS2161).
Other protective equipment: Wear impervious coveralls
and anti-static footwear (AS3765/2210).
