2 Page: 2 Suitable Extinguishing Media Hazards from Combustion Products Specific Hazards Precautions in connection with Fire Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water mist or water spray. Under fire conditions this product may emit toxic and/or irritating fumes and gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides and other pyrolysis products typical burning organic material. Combustible material. This product will readily burn under fire conditions. Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture containers. Long standing in contact with air and light may result in the formation explosive peroxides. Fire fighters should wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure mode and full protective clothing to prevent exposure to vapours or fumes. Water spray may be used to cool down heat-exposed containers. Fight fire from safe location. This product should be prevented from entering drains and watercourses. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency Procedures 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling Conditions for Safe Storage Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and clothing to prevent exposure. Extinguish or remove all sources ignition and stop leak if safe to do so. Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unprotected personnel. If possible contain the spill. Place inert absorbent, non-combustible material onto spillage. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect the material and place into suitable labelled containers for subsequent recycling or disposal. Dispose waste according to the applicable local and national regulations. If contamination sewers or waterways occurs inform the local water and waste management authorities in accordance with local regulations. Use only in a well ventilated area. Keep containers sealed when not in use. Prevent the build up mists or vapours in the work atmosphere. Avoid inhalation vapours and mists, and skin or eye contact. Do not use near ignition sources. Do not pressurise, cut, heat or weld containers as they may contain hazardous residues. Maintain high standards personal hygiene i.e. Washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources ignition, oxidising agents, strong acids, foodstuffs, and clothing. Keep containers closed when not in use and securely sealed and protected against physical damage. Inspect regularly for deficiencies such as damage or leaks. Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near the storage area. Take precautions against static electricity discharges. Use proper grounding procedures. For information on the design the storeroom, reference should be made to Australian Standard AS The storage and handling flammable and combustible liquids. Reference should also be made to all applicable local and national regulations. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards No exposure value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC), Australia. However, the available exposure limits for ingredients are listed below: National Occupational Health And Safety Commission (NOHSC), Australia Exposure Standards: Substance TWA STEL NOTICES ppm mg/m³ ppm mg/m³ Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether Sk TWA (Time Weighted Average): The average airborne concentration a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day week. STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit): The average airborne concentration over a 1 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday. 'Sk' Notice: Absorption through the skin may be a significant source exposure. The exposure standard is invalidated if such contact should occur.

3 Page: 3 Biological Limit Values Engineering Controls Respiratory Protection Eye Protection Hand Protection Body Protection No biological limits allocated. Provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels below the exposure limits. Where vapours or mists are generated, particularly in enclosed areas, and natural ventilation is inadequate, a local exhaust ventilation system is required. If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then an approved respirator with a replaceable mist/particulate filter should be used. Reference should be made to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 171, Selection, Use and Maintenance Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary changes for individual circumstances. Safety glasses with side shields or chemical goggles should be worn. Final choice appropriate eye/face protection will vary according to individual circumstances. Eye protection devices should conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications. Wear gloves impervious material, such as PVC. Final choice appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. Reference should be made to AS/NZS : Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance. Suitable protective work wear, e.g. cotton overalls buttoned at neck and wrist is recommended. Chemical resistant apron is recommended where large quantities are handled. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance Clear pale yellow liquid Odour Solvent odour Melting Point -6.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical Stability Stable under normal conditions storage and handling. Conditions to Avoid Extremes temperature and direct sunlight. Incompatible Materials Hazardous Decomposition Products Glycol ethers may form peroxides under certain conditions. In the presence strong bases or the salts strong bases, at elevated temperatures, the potential exists for runaway reactions. Thermal decomposition product and/or containers may result in the release toxic and/or irritating fumes including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides and other pyrolysis products typical burning organic material.
