2 Ingestion Advice to doctor First aid facilities For advice, contact a Poison Information Centre on (Australia Wide) or a doctor (at once). If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Treat symptomatically. Eye wash facilities and safety shower should be available. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammability Fire and explosion Extinguishing Non flammable. May evolve toxic gases if strongly heated. No fire or explosion hazard exists. Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods of cleaning up References Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as detailed in Section 8 of this SDS. Ventilate area where possible. Prevent product from entering drains and waterways. Contain spillage, then collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. Avoid generating dust. See Sections 8 and 13 for exposure controls and disposal. 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING Storage Handling Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents, acids and foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled and tightly closed when not in use. Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure standards Biological limits Engineering controls No exposure standard(s) allocated. No biological limit allocated. Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. PPE Eye / Face Hands Body Respiratory When using large quantities or where heavy contamination is likely, wear safety glasses. Individuals with sensitive skin should consider wearing PVC or rubber gloves. Not required under normal conditions of use. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear a Class P1 (Particulate) respirator. 9.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical stability Conditions to avoid Material to avoid Hazardous Decomposition Products Hazardous Reactions Stable under recommended conditions of storage. Avoid contact with incompatible substances. Incompatible with oxidising agents (eg. hypochlorites) and acids (eg. nitric acid). May evolve toxic gases if heated to decomposition. Polymerization is not expected to occur. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Health Hazard Summary Eye Inhalation Skin Ingestion Toxicity data Use safe work practices to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Due to the nature of use, adverse health effects are not anticipated with normal use. Upon dilution, the potential for adverse health effects may be reduced. Contact may result in irritation, lacrimation, pain and redness. Over exposure may result in irritation of the nose and throat, coughing, dizziness and headache. Contact may result in irritation, redness, pain and rash. Ingestion may result in burns to the mouth and throat, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. No LD50 data available for this product. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Toxicity Persistence and degradability Bioaccumulative potential Mobility in soil Other adverse effects 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Waste disposal Legislation Ensure product is covered with moist soil to prevent dust generation and dispose of to approved Council landfill. Contact the manufacturer if additional information is required. Dispose of in accordance with relevant local legislation. 14.
