SECTION 3. HAZARDS INDENTIFICATION

Main Hazard: Highly flammable.

Health effects: Irritant to eyes, De-fatting agent to skin, vapours cause drowsiness. High
concentrations of vapour cause asphyxia and narcosis. Respiratory irritant.

SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Keep warm and at rest. If necessary apply oxygen or artificial respiration. If
unconscious place patient in a stable position on his side and seek medical assistance.

Eye Contact: Flush with large quantities of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical assistance if the condition persists.

Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with water and soap.

Oral Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Call medical assistance immediately.

SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers

Protective Clothing: Suitable respirators

Special Hazards: Avoid exposure to decomposition products, Carbon monoxide and Carbon dioxide.

Keep tins cool with water to avoid explosions or flash ignition.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Isolate the spill area, and use absorbent material to mop up the spilled material. Clean-up personnel should wear rubber
gloves eye wear and respiratory protection. Avoid contamination of water ways. Allow good ventilation to avoid vapour
build up.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not eat or smoke during use and wash hands

before breaks and before finishing work. Keep containers firmly closed when not in use.

Storage: Store in a dry, well ventilated place. Protect from sunlight and avoid temperatures
above 40 degrees C. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents.
SECTION 8. PERSONAL PROTECTION / EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Technical Measures: Use only in well ventilated areas or apply forced ventilation.

Occupational exposure limits: Toluene TWA 8 HOURS 100ppm. STEL 15 MINS. 150ppm.

Benzine TWA 8 HOURS 100ppm. STEL 15 MINS. 150ppm.

Personal Protection:
Respiratory Tract: If ventilation is inadequate use a suitable
respirator.
Hands: Avoid skin contact, otherwise wear rubber
gloves.
Eyes: Wear safety goggles if splashing is likely.
Skin: Wear suitable overalls or protective clothing.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Acute toxicity: LD50 > 2000mg/kg (oral, rat)

LD50 > 2000mg/kg (dermal, rabbit)

LC50 > 20mg/L/4 hours (inhalation, rat) Skin and eye contact: Irritant to skin and eyes.

Chronic toxicity: The liquid substance is toxic to blood, kidneys, lungs, liver. But not toxic to CNS.
Carcinogenicity: No carcinogenic effects were observed.
Neurological effects: No neurotoxicity observed.
Mutagenicity: The product tested negative in a series of mutagenic tests.
Teratogenicity: Levels greater than 1500ppm may adversely affect foetal development. The above data relates
to the product in the liquid state. Once the solvent has evaporated the resulting film is non-toxic.

SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicity:
Fish expected to be toxic (Salmon) LC/EC50: 8.1mg/l at 96 hours.

Aquatic invertebrates expected to be toxic (Daphnia) LC/EC50: 6mg/l at 48 hours.

Mobility: Floats on water. Adsorbs to soil and has low mobility.

Bioaccumulation: Has the potential to bio accumulate.

SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

Provide ventilation, and isolate the spill area. Keep ignition sources away. Use absorbent material e.g. sand, saw dust, to
mop up spilled material. Collect absorbent material into metal containers and dispose of in accordance with all applicable
hazardous waste regulations.
