Note IMPORTANT: This SDS and the Hazard Classifications contained therein, only apply to the product in its concentrated form, as supplied. When diluted to 1:5 or greater they no longer apply. However, good hygiene and housekeeping practices should be adhered to.

Section 3 – Composition and Information on Ingredients

NOTE: Ingredients determined not to be hazardous are present in concentrations that do not exceed the relevant cut-off concentrations as found from NOHSC publication “List of Designated Hazardous Substances” or have been found NOT to meet the criteria of a hazardous substance as defined in the NOHSC publication “Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances”, or have been found NOT to meet the criteria of a dangerous substance as defined in the GLOBALLY HARMONIZED SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING OF CHEMICALS (GHS) , 4th edition United Nations 2011.

Section 4 – First Aid Measures

Scheduled Poisons: Poisons Information Centre in each Australian State capital city or in Christchurch, New Zealand can provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons. (Phone Australia 131126 or New Zealand 0800 764 766). First Aid Facilities: Ensure there is access to eye washes and safety showers. Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air away from exposure. Obtain medical attention if symptoms occur. Skin Contact: Wash skin with plenty of water. Seek medical advice (e.g. doctor) if irritation, burning or redness develops. Seek medical advice (e.g. doctor). Eye Contact: Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for at least 20 minutes. Eyelids to be held open. Seek urgent medical advice (e.g. ophthalmologist) if symptoms persist. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Do NOT attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water immediately. Give water to drink. If vomiting occurs, give further water to achieve effective dilution. Seek urgent medical advice (e.g. doctor). Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically. All treatments should be based on observed signs and symptoms of distress of the patient. Poisons Information Centre in each Australian State capital city or in Christchurch, New Zealand can provide additional assistance for scheduled poisons.

Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures

Fire and Explosion Hazards: Non flammable Extinguishing Media: Use an extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fires Fire Fighting: Keep containers exposed to extreme heat cool with water spray. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to products of combustion or decomposition Flash point: Non combustible

Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures

Emergency Procedures:

• Shut off engine and electrical equipment and leave off.
• Move people from immediate area; keep upwind.
• Stop leak if safe to do so.
• Send messenger to notify fire brigade and police.
• Tell them location, material quantity, emergency contact.
• Indicate condition of vehicle and damage or injuries observed.
• Warn other traffic

Occupational Release: Minor spills do not normally need any special clean-up measures. In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Wear appropriate protective equipment as in section 8 below to prevent skin and eye contamination. Spilt material may result in a slip hazard and should be absorbed into dry, inert material (e.g. sand, earth or vermiculite), which then can be put into appropriately labelled drums for disposal by an approved agent according to local conditions. Residual deposits will remain slippery. Wash area down with excess water. If required, neutralize with citric acid or acetic acid. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise the local emergency services. In the event of a large spillage notify the local environment protection authority or emergency services.

Section 7 – Handling and Storage

Handling: As with any chemical, avoid excessive personal contact. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. When handling, DO NOT eat, drink or smoke. Keep containers closed at all times. Avoid physical damage to containers. Always wash hands with water after handling. Work clothes should be laundered. Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, place with good ventilation. Avoid storing in aluminum and light alloy containers. Store away from acids. Keep containers closed at all times – check regularly for leaks.

Section 8 – Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Control Parameters Occupational Exposure Limits: No exposure standards have been established for the mixture. However, over exposure to some chemicals may result in enhancement of pre-existing adverse medical conditions and/or allergic reactions and should be kept to the least possible levels. Biological Limits: No biological limits allocated.

PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT (PPE) Ventilation: This product should only be used in a well ventilated area. Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below exposure standards. Eye Protection: Eye protection such as protective glasses or goggles is recommended when this product is being used. Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them. Skin Protection: [Diagram: Icons for gloves, apron, and boots] Overalls, apron, work boots and elbow length gloves are recommended for handling the concentrated product (as per AS/NZS 2161, or as recommended by supplier) to handle in quantity, cleaning up spills, decanting, etc. Protective Material Types: Material suitable for mild detergent contact – Butyl rubber, Natural Latex, Neoprene, PVC, and Nitrile. Respirator: [Diagram: Icon for respirator] Not required for normal cleaning operations with adequate ventilation. If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then an approved respirator with a replaceable dust/particulate filter should be used. Refer to relevant regulations for further information concerning respiratory protective requirements. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715, Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary changes for individual circumstances.

Reactivity: Stable at normal temperatures and pressure. Chemical Stability: Stable under normal ambient and anticipated storage and handling conditions of temperature and pressure. Conditions to Avoid: Avoid contact with heat or heat sources. Acids. Incompatibilities: ACIDS: reaction can occur, yielding heat and pressure which can burst an enclosed container. Attacks many reactive metals (aluminium/magnesium/zinc alloys) releasing highly flammable gas (hydrogen) which generates fire or explosion hazards. Reacts slowly with ambient air (particularly carbon dioxide) which may cause certain insoluble salts top form in solutions. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Product can decompose on combustion to form Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide, and other possibly toxic gases and vapours. Acids (especially hydrochloric acid); will generate toxic gas. Hazardous Reactions: None known.
