2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
This material is hazardous according to criteria of Safe Work Australia; HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE.
Classified as Dangerous Goods by the criteria of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG Code) for Transport by
Road and Rail; DANGEROUS GOODS.
Risk Phrases: Highly Flammable. Harmful by inhalation and in contact with skin. Irritating to skin.
Safety Phrases: Keep away from sources of ignition - No Smoking. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Do not empty into drains. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory
equipment.

Inhalation:
Remove victim from area of 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 patient
finds breathing difficult and develops a bluish discolouration of the skin (which suggests a lack of oxygen in the blood -
cyanosis), ensure airways are clear of any obstruction and have a qualified person give oxygen through a face mask.
Apply artificial respiration if patient is not breathing. Seek immediate medical advice.

Safety Data Sheet
Skin Contact:
If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove any contaminated clothing and wash skin and hair thoroughly with
running water. 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. Seek immediate medical
assistance.
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 work day. According to current knowledge this concentration should
neither impair the health of, nor cause undue discomfort to, nearly all workers.
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.
Engineering controls:
Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below quoted Exposure
Standards. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. DO NOT enter confined spaces where
vapour may have collected. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic
vapour respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Always wash hands before smoking,
eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use.
Odour: Solvent
Solubility: Soluble in organic solvents. Insoluble in water.
Specific Gravity: 1-1.2 @20°C
Relative Vapour Density (air=1): >1
Vapour Pressure (20 °C): Not available
Flash Point (°C): -6
Flammability Limits (%): Not available
Autoignition Temperature (°C): Not available
% Volatile by Volume: Not available
Solubility in water (g/L): Negligible
Melting Point/Range (°C): Not applicable
Boiling Point/Range (°C): Not available
Decomposition Point (°C): Not available
pH: Not applicable
Viscosity: Not available
Evaporation Rate: Not available
Conditions to avoid: Avoid exposure to heat, sources of ignition, and open flame.
Ingestion: Swallowing can result in nausea, vomiting and central nervous system depression. If
the victim is showing signs of central system depression (like those of drunkeness)
there is greater likelihood of the patient breathing in vomit and causing damage to
the lungs. Breathing in vomit may lead to aspiration pneumonia (inflammation of the
lung).
Skin contact: Contact with skin will result in irritation. Will have a degreasing action on the skin.
Repeated or prolonged skin contact may lead to irritant contact dermatitis.
Inhalation: Material may be irritant to the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract (airways).
Breathing in vapour can result in headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, and possible
nausea. Breathing in high concentrations can produce central nervous system
depression, which can lead to loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement and if
exposure is prolonged, unconsciousness.
Toxicological Data: No LD50 data available for the product. For the constituent Xylene (1):
Oral LD50 (rat): >2000 mg/kg
Dermal LD50 (rabbit): >2000 mg/kg
Inhalation LC50 (rat): >20 mg/L/4 hr
SKIN: Moderate irritant (rabbit).
Avoid spontaneous combustion of contaminated rags and other easily ignitable accumulations (such as spray booth
residues) by immediate immersion in water. Emptied containers may retain residues of product. Do not cut, puncture or
weld on or near the container.
