SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTIONExposure Limits: No National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) exposure standards are assigned

for this product. However exposure standards for constituents are listed below. As with all chemicals, exposure should be maintained to the least possible levels.

NOHSC exposure standards:

Material TWA STEL

ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3

Ethyl Acetate: 200 720 400 1440

Cyclohexane: 100 350 300 1050

As listed on the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission’s: National Exposure Standards Database.

Biological limit values: No biological limit values are available for this product.

Engineering controls: The working environment must be adequately ventilated to maintain air concentrations to a minimum and below exposure limits especially where vapours or mists are generated; particularly in enclosed areas where natural ventilation is inadequate. A flame proof exhaust ventilation system or an approved respirator is recommended depending on assessment of local working environment. Product vapour is heavier than air and will collect at low levels. Hence, ventilate by extraction at low levels. For further information concerning ventilation, refer to: AS 1940 – The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids & AS 2430 – Explosive gas atmospheres.

SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGEPrecautions for safe handling:

Use only in a well ventilated area. Open containers cautiously as contents may be under pressure. Build up of mists or vapours in the atmosphere must be prevented. Avoid inhalation of vapours. DO NOT store or use in confined spaces. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. Do not enter these areas until atmosphere has been checked. Do not use near ignition sources. Repeated or prolonged exposure with no personal protection should be avoided in order to lessen the possibility of disorders. It is essential that all who come into contact with this material maintain high standards of personal hygiene i.e. washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or going to the toilet. Misuse of empty containers can be hazardous. Do not pressurise, cut, weld, heat or drill empty containers as they may contain dangerous residues. Residue may ignite with explosive violence if heated sufficiently. Keep empty containers closed with bung in place.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Store in a dry, cool, well ventilated area, away from ignition sources, heat, strong oxidising agents, foodstuffs and clothing. Keep containers closed when not in use and protected against physical damage. Inspect regularly for damage or leaks. Take precautions against static electricity discharges. Use proper grounding procedures. Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near areas of storage and handling.

Reference should be made to all local, state and federal regulations as well as Australian Standards AS1940- The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids.

SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONHealth effects from the likely routes of exposure:

Acute

Ingestion: Ingestion may result in gastrointestinal irritation, in particular nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea. Ingestion may also lead to aspiration of material into the lungs and central nervous system (CNS) depression. CNS effects include dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, headache, muscular weakness and loss of consciousness. Prolonged exposure to a large quantity can ultimately lead to coma and possibly death.

Eye: Eye contact and solvent vapour may cause moderate eye irritation. Symptoms may include redness, pain, stinging, tearing or swelling.

Skin: Skin contact or solvent vapour will cause irritation including itching, redness or rash. Prolonged and repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking resulting in dermatitis.

Inhalation: Harmful by inhalation. Product vapour may also cause respiratory irritation. Symptoms of overexposure may include fatigue, headache, dizziness, shortness of breath and possible nausea. Very high concentrations of product vapour may cause central nervous system depression which can lead to loss of coordination, impaired judgement, and if exposure is prolonged, unconsciousness and death.

Chronic Prolonged and repeated exposure through inhalation, ingestion or skin contact can result in harmful effects including central nervous system depression. Systemic effects of chronic exposure may also include damage to kidneys and liver especially where exposure is repeated and prolonged with no personal protection. Excessive skin exposure may also result in irritation leading to dermatitis.

Other toxicological information:

Repeated inhalation of n-hexane may have effects on the central nervous system and especially the peripheral nervous system, resulting in polyneuropathy. Cessation of exposure is not immediately followed by improvement and symptoms may progress. Final recovery will depend on the severity of the intoxication and may not necessarily be complete. Animal tests have also shown that this substance possibly causes toxic effects upon human reproduction. The n hexane contained in this product is below hazard concentration cut- offs; however exposure should be reduced to the least possible levels.

Studies on pregnant animals have shown that Toluene has caused developmental toxicity to their unborn. Although there has been no official link, it is advised that as a precaution, pregnant women be prohibited from the use of this product.

SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATIONNo adverse health effects are expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the product label. Symptoms that may arise if the product is mishandled are:

Acute Effects: Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal discomfort and irritation.

Eye: Brief contact may cause mild irritation to eyes.

Skin: Mild irritant and poorly absorbed through the skin. Prolonged and repeated contact may cause sever irritation and/or dermatitis

Inhaled: Not hazardous at ambient temperatures. Vapours generated at elevated temperatures or when inhaled repeatedly may cause irritation to nose, throat and respiratory tract.

Long Term Effects: Repeated skin contact and inhalation may result in sensitisation in some individuals. May cause allergic reaction, dermatitis or asthma like symptoms. Follow good working practice. Avoid ingestion, inhalation, eye and skin contact. Wash hands with soap and water before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities.

Acute & Chronic: Negative in a battery of mutagenicity assays.

Toxicity: No evidence of carcinogenicity was observed in long term studies of rats. No developmental nor reproductive effects in rat and rabbit. Acceptable Daily Intake ( ADI ) for humans is 0.01 mg/kg/day.

The resin reacts with water at the interface forming CO2 and a solid insoluble product with high melting point (polyurea). This reaction is accelerated by surfactants (e.g. detergents) or by watersoluble solvents. Previous experience shows that polyurea is inert and non-degradable.
