3. COMPOSITION INFORMATION
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. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Skin Contact: Effects may be delayed. This material, or a component of the material, can be absorbed through
the skin with resultant toxic effects. If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin
and hair with running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance. 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: Immediately irrigate with copious quantities of water for 15 minutes. Eyelids to be held open.
Remove clothing if contaminated and wash skin. Urgently seek medical assistance. Transport to hospital or
medical centre.
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. Immediately
call Poisons Centre or Doctor.
PPE for First Aiders: Wear rubber boots, overalls, gloves, apron, face shield. 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. Effects may be delayed. Can cause corneal burns.
Hazchem Code: 2X
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray),
alcohol resistant foam, standard foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Fire fighting further advice: 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.
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
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). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of crops,
sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency services.
Handling: Avoid eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
Store locked up. Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for
leaks.
