5 Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media:
Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water spray, universal-type foam. Use fire extinguishing media suitable to
surrounding conditions.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical:
Hazardous combustion products include oxides of carbon and nitrogen, and unidentified organic products.
Due to the water content, this product is not expected to be flammable but may burn or decompose in a fire.
Containers close to fire should be removed if safe to do so. Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers.
Minimise firefighting run-off from entering drains or water courses.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters:
When fighting a major fire wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective equipment.

6 Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures:
Wear approved respiratory protection, chemical resistant gloves, protective clothing, and safety boots.
Evacuate all non-essential personnel from affected area according to the local emergency plan. Do not breathe
vapours. Ensure adequate ventilation. Extinguish all sources of ignition. Avoid sparks and open flames. No
smoking.
Environmental Precautions:
In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Report spills to appropriate
authorities if required.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up:
Wipe up small spills with a cloth. Stop leak if safe to do so and recover free product. Absorb remainder of spill
with sand, earth, vermiculite or some other absorbent material. Collect the spilled material and place into a
suitable container for disposal. Clean residual contamination with hot water and detergent.

7 Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling:
Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation of vapours. Use only
outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Food, beverages, and tobacco products should not be stored or consumed where this material is in use.
Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking, or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other
protective equipment before storage or re-use.
Conditions for Safe Storage:
Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area, protected from light. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
Protect from extreme heat, sparks, open flames, and all other sources of ignition. Keep away from strong
oxidising agents, strong acids and strong alkalis.

8 Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Exposure Standards:
CAS: 102-71-6 Triethanolamine
WES TWA: 5 mg/m³
Sen
Engineering Controls:
Ensure adequate ventilation of the working area to keep exposure levels to a minimum. Local exhaust
ventilation is required, however, general exhaust is recommended.

Respiratory Protection:
None is generally required under normal conditions of use. Use an approved vapour respirator under
conditions where exposure to the substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or
vapour, inadequate ventilation, development of respiratory tract irritation) and engineering controls are not
feasible. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information.
Skin Protection:
Chemical resistant gloves are recommended. See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2161 for more
information.
When selecting gloves for use against certain chemicals, the degradation resistance, permeation rate and
permeation breakthrough time should be considered.
Chemical resistant occupational protective clothing (depending on conditions in which it has to be used, in
particular as regards the period for which it is worn, which shall be determined on the basis of the seriousness
of the risk, the frequency of exposure to the risk, the characteristics of the workstation of each worker and the
performance of the protective clothing). See Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4501 for more
information.
Eye and Face Protection:
Goggles or face shield is recommended for protection against splashing materials or liquids. See Australian/
New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 for more information.
