General Measures If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area. Cool containers with water spray until well after fire is
out.
Flammability Conditions Combustible liquid; May burn but does not ignite readily.
Extinguishing Media Use dry chemical, Carbon dioxide (CO2), foam or water spray for extinction - Do not use water jets.
Fire and Explosion Hazard Containers may explode when heated.
Hazardous Products of Fire may produce irritating, toxic and/or corrosive fumes, including oxides of Carbon, smoke.
Combustion
Special Fire Fighting Contain runoff from fire control or dilution water - Runoff may pollute waterways.
Instructions
Personal Protective Equipment Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and chemical splash suit. SCBA and structural firefighter’s uniform
may provide limited protection.

General Response Procedure Ensure adequate ventilation. ELIMINATE all ignition sources. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Clean up
and report spills immediately. Avoid breathing vapours and contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
Clean Up Procedures Recover by pumping or absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to a suitable
container for disposal (see SECTION 13).
Containment Stop leak if safe to do so – Prevent entry into waterways, drains or confined areas. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for
later recovery and disposal.
Decontamination No information available.
Environmental Precautionary Prevent entry into drains and watercourses. In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in
Measures accordance with all applicable regulations.
Evacuation Criteria Spill or leak area should be isolated immediately. Keep unauthorised personnel away. Warn occupants of downwind
areas of possible fire and explosion hazard.
Personal Precautionary Use personal protective equipment as required (see SECTION 8). Additional protective measures may be necessary,
Measures depending on the specific circumstances and/or the expert judgment of the emergency responders.
Handling Safety showers and eyewash facilities should be provided within the immediate work area for emergency use. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Handle containers with
care; Open slowly to control possible pressure release. Avoid breathing mist/vapours/aerosols and contact with eyes,
skin and clothing. Do not ingest. Use personal protective equipment as required (see SECTION 8). Combustible
liquid: Do not open near heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources - No smoking. Material
can accumulate static charges which may cause an electrical spark (ignition source): Ground and bond container and
receiving equipment.
Storage Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from
heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources - No smoking. Keep away from foodstuffs and
General No specific exposure standards are available for this product. Limit/standard for guidance ONLY:
- Distillates, petroleum, hydrotreated light (Total hydrocarbons): RCP-TWA = 1,200 ppm (1,200 mg/m3) Vapour

Exposure Limits No Data Available
Biological Limits No information available.
Engineering Measures A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures above the Exposure Limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
Personal Protection Equipment - Respiratory protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level which
is adequate to protect worker health, an approved Half-face (type A) filter respirator may be appropriate (refer to
AS/NZS 1715 & 1716). For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in
positive pressure mode. Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are
inadequate, gas/vapour warning properties are poor or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
- Eye/face protection: Wear appropriate eye protection to avoid eye contact. If contact is likely, safety glasses with
side shields are recommended.
- Hand protection: Handle with gloves. If prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical resistant gloves (e.g. PVC)
are recommended. If contact with forearms is likely, wear gauntlet style gloves.
- Skin/body protection: Wear appropriate personal protective clothing to avoid skin contact. If prolonged or repeated
contact is likely, chemical and oil resistant clothing is recommended.
Special Hazards Precaustions No information available.
Work Hygienic Practices Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as
washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned.
- Aspiration toxicity: May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. Based on physicochemical properties of the
material. Small amounts of liquid aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical
pneumonitis or pulmonary edema.
Carcinogen Category None
Ecotoxicity Not expected to be harmful to aquatic organisms. Not expected to demonstrate chronic toxicity to aquatic organisms.
Persistence/Degradability Expected to be inherently biodegradable. Transformation due to hydrolysis/photolysis not expected to be significant.
Expected to degrade rapidly in air.
Mobility Highly volatile, will partition rapidly to air. Not expected to partition to sediment and wastewater solids.
Environmental Fate Comply with applicable environmental regulations limiting discharge to air, water and soil. Protect the environment by
applying appropriate control measures to prevent or limit emissions.
Bioaccumulation Potential No information available.
Environmental Impact No Data Available
General Information Disposal must be in accordance with current applicable laws and regulations, and material characteristics at time of
disposal.
Special Precautions for Land Fill Empty containers may contain residue and can be dangerous. Do not attempt to refill or clean containers without
proper instructions. Empty drums should be completely drained and safely stored until appropriately reconditioned or
disposed. Empty containers should be taken for recycling, recovery or disposal through suitably qualified or licensed
contractor and in accordance with governmental regulations. Do not pressurise, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind
or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity or other sources of ignition. They may explode and
cause injury or death.
