FIRST AID MEASURES For advice, contact Poisons Information Centre ( phone Australia 13 11 26 ) or a doctor. (For each route of exposure provide indication of medical attention and special treatment needed including description of most important symptoms, acute and delayed) Inhalation: Remove from source of exposure. Ensure airways are clear and have a qualified person give oxygen through a face mask if breathing is difficult. Obtain immediate medical attention. Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with running water. Ensure contaminated clothing is washed before re-use, or discard. Obtain medical attention. Eye Contact: Immediately hold the eyes open and wash with fresh running water. Take care not to rinse contaminated water into non-affected eye. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping the eyelids apart and away from the eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or at least 15 minutes. Obtain immediate medical attention. Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Immediately remove product from the mouth and wash out mouth with plenty of water. Obtain immediate medical attention. Note to Physician: Treat symptomatically.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Hazards from combustion products: Precautions for firefighters and special protective equipment: Suitable extinguishing material This product is not combustible. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. This material may emit toxic and/or irritating fumes under fire conditions. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool. Self-containing breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn in fighting large fires involving chemicals. Use appropriate fire extinguisher for surrounding environment. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency procedures: Methods and materials for containment and clean up: Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unprotected personnel. Use full protective clothing and equipment to minimise exposure. Transfer material to a suitable labelled container for recycling or disposal. Wash contaminated surfaces well with water. If a large quantity of this material enters the environment, contact the relevant regulatory authorities. Dispose of waste according to Federal, E.P.A., State and Local regulations. Determine whether to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Observe all personal protective equipment recommendations described in this MSDS. Contain spill. Place inert absorbent material onto spillage. Mop up material and place into clean, dry, suitable labelled containers and close lids tightly. Laws and regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those materials and items employed in the clean-up of releases. You will need to determine which laws and regulations are applicable. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling: (including any incompatibilities) Conditions for safe storage: Use in a well ventilated area. Do not store or use in confined spaces. Build up of mists or vapours in the atmosphere must be prevented. Avoid breathing in spray, mists or vapours. Avoid eye contact. Avoid prolonged contact with the skin. Any exposure without protection should be prevented. Do not take internally. Exercise good industrial hygiene practice. Wash after handling, especially before eating, drinking or smoking. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, away from heat and out of direct sunlight. Keep well closed when not in use and securely sealed against physical damage. Inspect regularly for deficiencies, such as damage or leaks.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards: Biological Limit Values: Engineering Controls: Personal Protective Equipment: No value is assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (Australia). However, the available exposure limits for the ingredient Sodium Hydroxide as listed in the Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment [NOHSC: 1003 (1995)] published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (Australia) are as follows: Sodium Hydroxide (CAS No. 1310-73-2): Time Weighed Average (TWA): 2 mg/m3 (Peak limitation) and - ppm. Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL): - mg/m3 and - ppm. No biological limit allocated. Ensure adequate ventilation. If mists or vapours are produced local exhaust ventilation should be used. Avoid breathing mists or vapours. Where ventilation is inadequate and mists or vapours are generated, respiratory protective equipment should be used suitable for protecting against airborne contaminants. Reference should be made to Australian Standards: AS/NZS 1715 Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective devices; and AS/NZS 1716 Respiratory protective devices. Wear safety glasses or goggles or face shield if handling large quantities. Do not wear contact lenses. Ensure eyewash is available. Eye protection should conform with AS/NZS 1337 Eye protectors for industrial applications. Wear gloves of impervious material. Refer to AS/NZS 2161.1 Occupational protective gloves Selection use and maintenance. Wear appropriate clothing, including a chemical resistant apron, where clothing is likely to be contaminated. 9.

MSDS STEL TGA TLV TWA UN Number Literature References: Material Safety Data Sheet Short Term Exposure Limit - A 15 minute TWA exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during a working day even if the eight-hour TWA average is within the TWA exposure standard. Exposures at the STEL should not be longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than four times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. Therapeutic Goods Administration Threshold Limit Value - TLV is a proprietary name registered by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and refers to airborne concentrations of substances or levels of physical agents to which it is believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effect. Time Weighted Average - The average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week. UN numbers are four-digit numbers that identify hazardous substances, and articles (such as explosives, flammable liquids, toxic substances, etc.) in the framework of international transport.
