| Other ingredients | Non hazardous | 60-100% |
- FIRST AID MEASURES
If poisoning occurs, move out of dangerous area immediately contact a doctor or Poison Information Centre (Ph: 13 11 26) and follow the advice given. Show this Safety Data Sheet to the doctor.
If inhaled: If inhalation occurs contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor at once. Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. Remove source of contamination or move victim to fresh air and keep at rest. DO NOT allow victim to move about unnecessarily. Symptoms of pulmonary oedema can be delayed up to 48 hours after exposure.
In case of skin contact: Wash gently and thoroughly affected areas with mild soap and plenty of water for 10-20 minutes or until product is removed. Under running water, remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (e.g. watchbands and belts) and completely decontaminate them before reuse or discard.
In case of eye contact: No effects expected. If irritation does occur, check and remove any contact lenses. Protect unharmed eye. Rinse eyes immediately with clean water for at least 5 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. Obtain medical advice if irritation becomes painful or lasts more than a few minutes.
If swallowed: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Wash mouth with water and contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor.
First Aid facilities: Ensure eye wash and safety shower are available.
Medical Attention: Symptoms may be delayed. The first aid procedure should be established in consultation with a doctor responsible for industrial medicine.
- FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media: Not combustible. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Hazard from combustion products: The major hazard in fires is usually inhalation of heated toxic or oxygen deficient (or both), fire gases. There is little risk of explosion from this product if commercial quantities are involved in a fire.
Precautions for fighting fires: Fire fighters should wear full protective gear, including self-contained breathing apparatus (AS/NZS 1715/1716). Keep unnecessary people away. If it can be done safely remove intact containers from the fire. Bund area with sand or earth to prevent contamination of drains or waterways. Dispose of fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water in accordance with local regulations. Do not release contaminated water into the environment.
Hazchem Code: 2X
- ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Avoid contact with spilled material or contaminated surfaces. Do not smoke, eat or drink during the clean up process. Wear personal protective clothing and equipment as detailed in Section 8 PERSONAL PROTECTION. Keep people and animals away. Ensure adequate ventilation. Contain spill and absorb with earth, sand, clay or other absorbent material. Prevent spilled material from entering drains or watercourses. Collect and store in properly labelled drums for safe disposal. Clean floor with a damp cloth and place it in the drum. Seal drums and label ready for safe disposal. Deal with all spillages immediately. If contamination of drains, streams, watercourses etc is unavoidable warn the local water authority.
- HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Keep out of reach of children. Keep exposure to this product to a minimum, and minimise the quantities kept in work areas. Will irritate eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale spray mist. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day’s use wash gloves and contaminated clothing.
Storage: Store in the closed original container in a cool well ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Store in a locked room away from children, animals, food, animal feed, seed and fertilisers.
- EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards:
| TWA (mg/m³) | STEL (mg/m³) |
|---|---|
| Not set | Not set |
Exposure standard – Time Weighted Average (TWA) means the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight hour working day, for a five-day working week. Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) means the exposure level that may be equalled (but should not be exceeded for no longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL.
Biological Limit Values: None allocated
Engineering Controls: Control process conditions to avoid contact. Use in a well ventilated area only. If natural ventilation is inadequate, use of a fan is suggested.
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes: Protective glasses or safety goggles. Eye wash bottle with pure water. Clothing: Impervious overalls buttoned to the neck and wrists and a washable hat. Gloves: Polyvinyl alcohol or nitrile-butyl-rubber gloves. Before removing gloves clean them with soap and water. Respiratory: If inhalation is likely an AS/NZS 1715/1716 approved respirator should be worn.

- STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Chemical stability: Stable under normal conditions of use and storage. Conditions to avoid: Protect this product from light. Store in the closed original container in a dry, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Incompatible materials: No particular incompatibilities. Hazardous decomposition products: This product is likely to decompose only after heating to dryness, followed by further strong heating. In a fire, formation of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide can be expected. Water is also formed. May form nitrogen and its compounds and, under some circumstances, oxides of nitrogen. Occasionally hydrogen cyanide gas in reducing atmospheres. Potassium compounds. Carbon monoxide poisoning produces headache, weakness, nausea, dizziness, confusion, dimness of vision, disturbance of judgement, and unconsciousness followed by coma and death. Hazardous reactions: Stable under recommended storage conditions. No decomposition if used as directed. Does not polymerise.
