2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
2.1 Hazard Identification: This product is classified as a hazardous substance and as dangerous goods according to the
classification criteria of [NOHSC: 1088 (2004)] and ADG Code (Australia).
DANGER! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AEROSOL. PRESSURIZED CONTAINER MAY BURST
IF HEATED. MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED AND ENTERS AIRWAYS. CAUSES SKIN
IRRITATION. CAUSES SERIOUS EYE IRRITATION.
Classification: Aerosol 1; Acute Tox. 4; Asp. Tox. 1; Skin Irrit. 2; Eye Irrit. 2.
Hazard Statements (H): H222 – Extremely flammable aerosol. H229 – Pressurized container may
burst if heated. H304 – May be fatal if swallowed and enters airways. H315 – Causes skin
irritation. H319 – Causes serious eye irritation.
Precautionary Statements (P): P210 – Keep away from heat, hot surface, sparks, open flames and
other ignition sources. No smoking. P211 – Do not spray on an open flame or other ignition
source. P251 – Do not pierce or burn, even after use. P410+P412 – Protect from sunlight. Do not
expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °F (122 °F). P264 – Wash thoroughly with soap and water
after handling. P270 – Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P301+P312 – IF
SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell. P330 – Rinse mouth. P501 –
Dispose of contents/container to licenses treatment, storage and disposal facility (TSDF). P280 –
Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. P302+P352 – IF ON
SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. P321 – Specific treatment – see Section 4 of this
Safety Data Sheet. P332+P313 – If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
P362+P364 – Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. P305+P351+P338 – IF IN
EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and
easy to do. Continue rinsing. P337+P313 – If eye irritation persists: get medical advice/attention.
5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Fire & Explosion Hazards: Level 3 Aerosol (NFPA 30B). Aerosols may burst at temperatures above 120 °F. Cool uninvolved
containers to prevent possible bursting. Aerosols may be projectile hazards when bursting. If
aerosols are bursting, stay clear until bursting is complete. Do not use in presence of open flames or
sparks. Do not place in hot water or near radiators, stoves or other sources of heat. Exposure to
heat or sunlight may cause cans to burst and propel contents. Water from fog nozzles may be
helpful in cooling un-ruptured containers to prevent build-up.
5.2 Extinguishing Methods: Water Fog, Foam, Dry Chemical, CO2
5.3 Firefighting Procedures: As in any fire, wear MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand)
and full protective gear. Keep containers cool until well after the fire is out. Use water spray to cool
fire-exposed surfaces and to protect personal. Fight fire upwind. Avoid spraying water directly into
storage containers because of danger of boil over. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from
entering sewers, drains, drinking water supply, or any natural waterway. Firefighters must use full
bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus to
protect against potential hazardous combustion or decomposition products and oxygen deficiencies.
