Skin : If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.

Inhalation : If inhaled, remove from contaminated area. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing.

Ingestion : For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre on 0800 764 766 (0800 POISON) or +643 479 7248 (New Zealand) or a doctor (at once). If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Ingestion is considered unlikely due to product form.

Advice to Doctor : Treat symptomatically

Spillage : Contact emergency services where appropriate. Use personal protective equipment. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Ventilate area where possible. Contain spillage, then cover / absorb spill with non-combustible absorbant material (vermiculite, sand, or similar), collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. Eliminate all ignition sources.

Handling : Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents (eg. hypochlorites), acids (eg sulphuric acid), heat sources and foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Check regularly for leaks or spills. Large storage areas should have appropriate ventilation systems.

Storage : Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas.

Exposure Stds

Engineering Controls : Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas.

PPE : Wear splash-proof goggles and PVC or rubber gloves. When using large quantities or where heavy contamination is likely, wear: coveralls. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear: a Type A (Organic vapour) respirator. 

Health Hazard Summary : Low to moderate toxicity - irritant. This product may only present a hazard with direct eye contact, prolonged and
repeated skin contact or with vapour inhalation at high levels. Chronic effects are not anticipated.

Eye : Irritant . Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain and redness.

Inhalation : Low irritant. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, with coughing. Due to the low vapour pressure, an inhalation hazard is not anticipated with normal use.

Additional Information

Respirators : In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.

Health Effects From Exposure : It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a Chem Alert report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.

Personal Protective Equipment Guidlines : The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this Chem Alert report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made.
