4. FIRST AID MEASURES

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand 0800
764 766).

Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until
fully recovered. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have a qualified
person give oxygen through a facemask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. In the event
of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage. Seek immediate medical advice.

Skin Contact: This material, or a component of the material, can be absorbed through the skin with resultant
toxic effects. If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair

Issued: 3 November 2017 Version: 2.1 Page 2 of 9
 Safety Data Sheet

with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a
Doctor; or for 15 minutes and transport to Doctor or Hospital. For gross contamination, immediately drench with
water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and soap if material is insoluble).
For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available. If blistering occurs, do NOT break
blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.

Eye contact: If in eyes wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.

Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water to drink.
Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further water. Seek medical
advice.

PPE for First Aiders: Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses, respirator. Use with adequate
ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of
AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Available information suggests that gloves made from nitrile rubber should be
suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user
should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash
contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.

Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Hazchem Code: •3YE

Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use alcohol resistant foam or dry agent (carbon
dioxide, dry chemical powder).

Specific hazards: Highly flammable liquid and vapour. May form flammable vapour mixtures with air.
Flameproof equipment necessary in area where this chemical is being used. Nearby equipment must be earthed.
Electrical requirements for work area should be assessed according to AS3000. Vapour may travel a
considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Avoid all ignition sources. All potential sources of
ignition (open flames, pilot lights, furnaces, spark producing switches and electrical equipment etc) must be
eliminated both in and near the work area. Do NOT smoke.

Fire fighting further advice: Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of
containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep containers cool with water spray. On
burning or decomposing may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and
suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion or decomposition.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.

LARGE SPILLS
If safe to do so, shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when
spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination
and the inhalation of vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and
waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Use a spark-free shovel. Collect and seal in
properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops, sewers or waterways has occurred
advise local emergency services.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

National occupational exposure limits:

TWA STEL NOTICES

ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3

Xylene 80 350 150 655

As published by Safe Work Australia.

TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working
week over an entire working life.

STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not
be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday.

These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as
fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative
toxicity.

If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should not
exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially exposed during
product manufacture.

Biological Limit Values: As per the "National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous
Substances (Safe Work Australia)" the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit Allocated.

Engineering Measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing appropriate
respirator. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. Do NOT enter confined spaces
where vapour may have collected.

Personal Protection Equipment: SAFETY SHOES, OVERALLS, GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES,

RESPIRATOR.

Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses, respirator. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk
exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.

smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid eye contact and skin
contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close
to the workstation location.
