This MSDS describes, to the best our knowledge, the properties the concentrated product. The physical properties and some the assessments do not apply to the properties the product once it has been diluted for application. Acute health effects the diluted product are likely to be much less severe. 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Hazard Classification Risk Phrase(s) Safety Phrase(s) HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE. NON-DANGEROUS GOODS.

R48/22 Harmful: danger serious damage to health by prolonged exposure if swallowed. S2 Keep out reach children. S36/37 Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. S4 In case accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately Poisons Schedule S6 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Chemical Liquid Characterization Ingredients Name CAS Proportion Alpha Cypermethrin g/l Liquid Hydrocarbons g/l Surfactant 0- %w/v Substance Chemical Family Synthetic Pyrethroid 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Remove affected person to fresh air until recovered. If symptoms develop or persist, seek medical advice. Ingestion Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting; seek medical advice immediately and show this container or label or contact the Poisons Information Centre on (Aust). Make every effort to prevent vomit from entering the lungs by careful placement the patient. The above first aid instructions are mandated by the Commonwealth Department Health and Ageing via the National Drugs and Poisons Schedule. These instructions are suitable for ingestion spray solution and small amounts concentrate; however, if SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNTS the concentrate have been swallowed (more than about 1ml) AND if medical assistance is more than 30 minutes away, the induction vomiting should be CONSIDERED, preferably based

Do not give anything by mouth to a semi-conscious or unconscious person. Skin Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Eye If in eyes, hold eyelids open and wash with copious amounts water for at least 1 minutes. Seek medical advice. First Aid Facilities If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre (Australia) on Advice to Doctor Treat symptomatically. In cases skin contact, application Vitamin E cream has been found to have very high therapeutic value.. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Media Water fog, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Avoid using large volumes water which would spread the product. Hazards from Combustion Although material is not flammable, the concentrate is combustible. If involved in a fire, it will emit carbon monoxide and possibly hydrogen. Products Special Protective Equipment for fire fighters Breathable air apparatus may have to be worn if material is involved in fires especially in confined spaces. STOP FIRE WATER FROM ENTERING DRAINS OR WATER BODIES. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Spills & Disposal Contain spill and absorb with clay, sand, soil or proprietary absorbent (such as vermiculite). Collect spilled material and waste in sealable open-top type containers for disposal. Dispose at a landfill in accordance with local regulations. On-site disposal concentrate is not acceptable. Clean-up Methods - Place damaged containers in recovery bins (if available) and return to Large Spillages manufacturer. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling Conditions for Safe Storage Do NOT contaminate dams, rivers or streams, or any other water bodies with pesticide or used containers. Do NOT spray in high winds. Store in the closed, original container in a dry, well ventilated area out direct sunlight. Do not store below 4 C. Always read the label and any attached leaflet before use. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards Engineering Controls Respiratory Protection Eye Protection Personal Protective Equipment Hygiene Measures No biological exposure limit allocated. No exposure standards have been set for this product or the active ingredients. The manufacturer the solvent has recommended an occupational exposure limit 100 mg/m3; 17ppm TWA, as total hydrocarbon. Handle in well ventilated areas, generally natural ventilation is adequate. Do not inhale spray mist. Wear chemical goggles. When opening the container, preparing spray and using the prepared spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves and goggles. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day's use, wash contaminated clothing and safety equipment.

Breathing vapour can result in headaches, dizziness and possible nausea. Breathing in high concentrations vapour can produce central nervous system depression, which can lead to loss coordination, impaired judgement and if exposure is prolonged, unconsciousness. Ingestion The concentrate is harmful if swallowed. Ingestion alpha-cypermethrin in relatively large amounts can result in headache, nausea, lethargy, motor weakness and incoordination. Skin May irritate the skin. Exposure to alpha-cypermethrin can result in sensations tingling especially in the face. The effects are transient and generally disappear in one to two days. Topical application vitamin E cream is effective in reducing discomfort. The occurrence 'facial sensations' is an indication exposure. Under these circumstances work practices should be reviewed. Eye The concentrate may cause irritation the eyes. Chronic Effects Repeated exposure could result in peripheral nervous system damage. Acute Toxicity - Oral LD0 (rat) 7 mg/kg for alpha cypermethrin technical Acute Toxicity - LD0 (rat) >2000 mg/kg for alpha cypermethrin Dermal LD0 (rabbit) >2000 mg/kg for alpha cypermethrin Acute Toxicity - LC0 (rat) (4hr) >0.93 mg/l Eye Irritation Mild eye irritant. Skin Irritation Mild skin irritant. The Australian Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for alpha cypermethrin for a human is 0.0 mg/kg/day, set for the public for daily, lifetime exposure. This is based on the NOEL 4.7 mg/kg/day, the level determined to show no effects during long term exposure for the most sensitive indicators and the most sensitive species. (Ref: Comm. Dept. Health and Ageing Office Chemical Safety and Environmental Health, 'ADI List', December 2011). 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Persistence / Average field half life alpha cypermethrin is 90 days. Degradability

Ideally, the product should be used for its intended purpose. If there is a need to dispose the product, approach local authorities who hold periodic collections unwanted chemicals (ChemClear ). Container Disposal Triple or preferably pressure rinse inner bladder or containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal at an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 00mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. drummuster is the national program for the collection and recycling empty, cleaned, non returnable crop production and on-farm animal health chemical containers. If the label on your container carries the drummuster symbol, triple rinse the container, ring your local Council, and fer the container for collection in the program. Returnable containers: empty contents fully into application equipment. Replace cap, close all valves and return to the point supply for refill or storage. Empty containers and product should not be burnt. 14.
