SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1 DESCRIPTION OF NECESSARY FIRST AID MEASURES:
INGESTION: As the product is in an aerosol container ingestion should not be a normal route
of entry. If ingested, rinse mouth out with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce
vomiting. For advice, contact the Poisons Information Centre (phone Australia
131 126; New Zealand 0800 764 766) or a doctor at once. If vomiting occurs,
lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to
maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Within 6 hours of ingestion, if
delayed symptoms, such as a fever greater than 38.3oC, shortness of breath,
chest congestion or continued coughing/wheezing occurs transport immediately
to a medical facility.

EYE: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eye immediately with large amounts
of running water. Continue flushing for at least 15 minutes or until advised to
stop by a doctor. Check for contact lenses. If there are contact lenses, these
should be removed after several minutes of rinsing by the exposed person or
medical personnel if it can be done easily. As the product is in a pressure pack,
as a precaution it is recommended that after rinsing, consult a doctor.

SKIN CONTACT: If skin or hair contact has occurred remove any contaminated clothing and
footwear, wash skin or hair thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation
develops or persists, seek medical assistance.

INHALATION: If affected, remove the patient from further exposure into fresh air, if safe to do
so. If providing assistance, avoid exposure to yourself - only enter contaminated
environments with adequate respiratory equipment, once environment has
been assessed for flammable vapours. Once removed, lay patient down in a
well-ventilated area and reassure them whilst waiting for medical assistance. If
the person feels unwell and symptoms, such as dizziness or uncoordination
occur, contact the Poisons Information Centre (phone Australia 131 126; New
Zealand 0800 764 766) whilst waiting for medical assistance. If not breathing,
provide artificial respiration and seek immediate medical assistance. If
unconscious, place in a recovery position and seek immediate medical
assistance. If irritation develops or persists, consult a doctor.
PROTECTION FOR FIRST
AIDERS: No personal shall place themselves in a situation that is potentially hazardous
to themselves. Due to the volatility of the product, never enter the area until
you have assessed the environment for oxygen depletion and flammable
vapours. Do not enter contaminated area without a respirator or Self Contained
Breathing Apparatus once you have assessed the atmosphere. As the product
is solvent based, if the person has ingested the product, do not use direct
mouth-to-mouth resuscitation techniques. Always ensure that you are wearing
gloves when dealing with first aid procedures involving chemicals and/or blood.

FIRST AID FACILITIES: Eye wash fountain and safety showers, or at least a source of flowing water,
are recommended in the area where the product is used.

4.2 MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS & EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE & DELAYED, CAUSED BY EXPOSURE:
ACUTE: Vapours may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Ingestion or inhalation of vapours
may lead to irritation of the mouth and respiratory tract. Symptoms may include
a burning sensation in the nose and throat, coughing or difficulty breathing.
Ingestion may lead to nausea and diarrhoea. Inhalation of high vapour
concentrations may cause central nervous system depression resulting in
dizziness, headache, nausea and possible loss of coordination. Continued
inhalation may result in unconsciousness and death. Skin contact may lead to
redness or itching. Continued skin exposure may lead to dryness and cracking.
Eye contact may lead to localised burning, redness and tearing. The presence
of the hydrocarbon component suggests that the residual product will be an
aspiration hazard. If material is aspirated into the lungs it may exhibit as
coughing, wheezing, congestion or fever.

SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES Continued
CHRONIC: Skin contact may aggravate/exacerbate existing skin conditions, such as
dermatitis.
4.3 INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION AND SPECIAL TREATMENT NECESSARY:
ADVICE TO DOCTOR: Treat symptomatically. As the product contains a hydrocarbon component, if
vomiting has occurred after ingestion of the residual material, the patient should
be monitored for adverse effects to ensure that the product has not aspirated
into the lungs. Small amounts of this product aspirated into the lungs during
ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis or pulmonary
oedema. A build up of vapours in a confined space or intentional concentration
of the vapours may cause symptoms, such as headache, drowsiness,
dizziness, muscular weakness and in the worst case Central Nervous System
depression including loss of consciousness. Intentional misuse by
concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful or fatal.

SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
SUITABLE MEDIA: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. Use carbon dioxide,
foam on residual material, dry chemical or water spray. Spray down fumes
resulting from fire.

UNSUITABLE MEDIA: Avoid using full water jet directed at residual material that may be burning.
Water may cause splattering on hot residues. Product will float on water.

5.2 SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE:

COMBUSTION HAZARDS: Combustion may produce oxides of carbon and silicon, as well as smoke and
irritating vapours.

5.3 ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS:

FIRE: This product is extremely flammable with a flash point of < -18oC, due to the
presence of propane and butane in an aerosol container. The vapour is heavier
than air and will spread along the ground and may accumulate in low points or
depressions. Therefore, ignition may occur well away from the point of release
of the material. Keep storage tanks, pipelines, fire exposed surfaces, etc. cool
with water spray.

HAZCHEM CODE: Aerosol - No Hazchem Code assigned.

EXPLOSION: Extremely flammable gas. Vapours will form explosive mixtures with air.
Vapours are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by
ventilation and ignited by heat, pilot lights, other flames and ignition sources
distant from the material handling point. The product is in an aerosol container
that is liable to overpressure and distend or explode if subjected to sufficient
heat. Ruptured aerosol containers are likely to be propelled during a fire.
Extinguish all sources of flame or spark.
PROTECTIVE
EQUIPMENT: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing
equipment with full-face piece operated in the pressure demand or other
positive pressure mode.

SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
PERSONAL PROTECTION: For small spills, wear Nitrile gloves, glasses/goggles, boots and full-length
clothing. During routine operation for a small spill in the open a respirator is not
required. However, if mists or vapours are generated, an approved organic
vapour/particulate respirator is required. For large spills, or in confined spaces,
a full chemically resistant body-suit is recommended and the atmosphere must
be evaluated for oxygen deficiency and whether the atmosphere is flammable.
If in doubt wear self-contained breathing apparatus. CAUTION: Never enter an
environment with a flammable atmosphere. NOTE: For anything other than a
spill of less than a couple of aerosol containers only trained personnel should
deal with aerosol incidents.

CONTROL MEASURES: Evacuate all personnel from the spill area. Ventilate spill area and extinguish
and/or remove all sources of ignition. CAUTION: Vapours may form an
explosive mixture with air. Isolate area until vapours have dissipated. Never
enter a spill area unless you know the vapours have dissipated to make the
area safe. The vapour is heavier than air and will spread along the ground and
may accumulate in low points or depressions. Therefore, ignition may occur
well away from the point of release of the material. Stop the leak if safe to do
so. CAUTION: The spilled product will be slippery. Avoid contact with the
spilled material.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify the relevant authorities in
accordance with all applicable regulations.

6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:

SPILL ADVICE: Do not allow product to enter drains, surface water, sewers or watercourses -
inform local authorities if this occurs. Ensure all equipment is grounded and
use non-sparking tools during clean up operations. As mentioned above, spills
involving a number of aerosol containers should only be dealt with by suitably
trained personnel.

6.3 METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP:

CONTAINMENT: Do not enter the spill area until the vapours have dissipated. Contain the spill
and absorb with a proprietary absorbent material, sand or earth. CAUTION:
The spilled product will be slippery. Be careful of static discharges and/or
sparking during clean up. For large spills prepare a bund/barrier/dyke ahead of
the spill to confine the spill and allow later recovery. If there is the possibility of
spills to enter drains, surface water, sewers or watercourses ensure bunding, or
that drains are covered, to minimise the potential for this to occur.

CLEANING PROCEDURES: After the vapour has dissipated, having contained the residual spill material, as
mentioned above, collect all material quickly and place used absorbent in
suitable containers. Be careful of static discharges and/or sparking during clean
up. Use only non-sparking tools during cleaning operations. CAUTION: The
spilled product will be slippery. Follow local regulations for the disposal of
waste. For large spills that have been bunded, the residual material can be
pumped, using flammable liquid equipment, into vessels and returned for
reprocessing or destruction. Personnel must wear the appropriate clothing as
required in Section 6.1 during cleaning procedures; after the environment has
been evaluated. Wash contaminated area and objects with detergent and water
after spill has been cleared. Rinse the cleaned area with water. Do not allow
wash water or rinsings to enter drains, surface water, sewers or water courses.

SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS & PERSONAL PROTECTION Cont’d
8.3 CONTROL BANDING: No data available.

8.4 ENGINEERING CONTROLS:

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local ventilation is recommended to minimise the potential for exposure and for
the build up of flammable vapours. If mists or vapours are generated or in
enclosed spaces exhaust ventilation must be provided to maintain airborne
concentration levels below the nominated exposure standards and at an
acceptable level that does not cause irritation. It is recommended when large
quantities are stored that local exhaust systems are used to minimise employee
exposure. Please note: Due to the flammable nature of the product, if there is a
necessity to use ventilation equipment it should not be a potential source of
ignition for any vapours generated.

8.5 INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES:

EYE & FACE PROTECTION: As the contents are under pressure, it is recommended that you wear safety
glasses/goggles when handling the product to avoid eye contact. Ensure
container is facing away from the person before using. Use eye protection in
accordance with AS 1336 and AS 1337.

SKIN (HAND) PROTECTION: If there is the chance of contact with the material wear gloves to provide hand
protection. Nitrile gloves are recommended.
SKIN (CLOTHING)
PROTECTION: During normal operating procedures, long sleeved clothing is recommended to
avoid skin contact. Soiled clothing should be washed with detergent prior to re-
use.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: During routine operation with local ventilation a respirator is not required, as
exposure standards should not be exceeded. PLEASE NOTE: The Liquefied
petroleum gases propellant contains propane which is rated as an asphyxiant in
HCIS. If ventilation is inadequate a determination should be made as to the
amount of oxygen in the environment before a respirator is chosen. If mists or
vapours are generated or when in enclosed spaces and there is a
determination that there is suitable oxygen in the environment, an approved half
face organic vapour (Type AX low boiling point organic is recommended)/
particulate respirator is required. Use respirators in accordance with AS 1715
and AS 1716.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Continued
11.2 ACUTE TOXICITY:
SWALLOWED: This product is expected to have a low order of toxicity associated with it when
ingested. It may cause slight irritation to the mouth, throat and digestive tract.
Ingestion of significant quantities, though difficult to achieve with aerosol
containers, may result in central nervous system depression from the naphtha
component. Ingestion may present with symptoms that may include headache,
dizziness, drowsiness, muscular weakness, fainting and in the worst-case loss
of consciousness. As the product is hydrocarbon based with an expected low
viscosity of the residual component without the propellant, caution should be
taken in respect to aspiration into the lungs. Small amounts of this product
aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical
pneumonitis or pulmonary oedema. During normal usage ingestion should not
be a means of exposure.
11.3 SKIN CORROSION/
IRRITATION: The product is rated as a skin irritant. Repeated exposure may cause skin
dryness or cracking. Correct handling procedures incorporating appropriate
protective clothing and gloves should minimise the risk of skin irritation. People
with pre-existing skin conditions, such as dermatitis, should take extreme care
so as not to exacerbate the condition. Direct exposure of rapidly expanding gas
or vapourising liquid may cause “Cold” burns similar to frostbite.
11.4 SERIOUS EYE DAMAGE/
IRRITATION: The product may be mildly irritating to the eyes. Direct spraying of the product
into the eye may cause irritation, exhibited as localised burning, redness and
production of tears. In a worst case scenario the cornea may be damaged by
direct injection under pressure of the product into the eye. Always ensure the
outlet is pointing away from you when operating the container. Correct
handling procedures incorporating appropriate eye protection should minimise
the risk of eye irritation.
11.5 RESPIRATORY OR
SKIN SENSITISATION: This product is not expected to be a skin sensitiser, based on the available data

a respiratory tract sensitiser, based on the available data and the known
hazards of the components.
11.6 GERM CELL
MUTAGENICITY: This product is not expected to be mutagenic, based on the available data and
the known hazards of the components.

11.7 CARCINOGENICITY: The product is not expected to be a carcinogen, based on the available data
and the known hazards of the components. Long term animal experiments have
shown that any health risks in these types of products are associated with the
1,3-Butadiene content of the Isobutane component. This is present at the level
of < 0.1%.
11.8 REPRODUCTIVE
TOXICITY: This product is not expected to be a reproductive hazard, based on the
available data and the known hazards of the components. The product
contains n-Hexane which is rated as possible risk of impaired fertility at levels
that are higher than is in this product. Hexane has been shown to cause
foetotoxicity in animals at doses that are maternally toxic. Studies have shown
that n-hexane affects the reproductive system in animals at doses which
produce other toxic effects.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Continued
11.9 SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY (STOT) -
SINGLE EXPOSURE: This product is rated as vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness based
upon component values. A build-up of vapours in a confined space or
intentional concentration of the vapours may cause symptoms, such as
headache, drowsiness, dizziness and muscular weakness. Inhalation of high
concentrations may cause central nervous system depression resulting in
headaches, dizziness and nausea. Continued inhalation of high concentration
levels may result in unconsciousness and/or death. If vapours are generated
during usage, they may be irritating to the eyes and respiratory tract.
Intentional misuse by concentrating and inhaling the contents may be harmful
or fatal. During normal use of the product with adequate ventilation, inhalation
should not be a means of entry. Caution - the product contains propane which
is classified as an asphyxiant.
11.9 SPECIFIC TARGET ORGAN TOXICITY (STOT) -
REPEATED EXPOSURE: There is no data available for the product as a whole. This product is not
expected to cause organ damage from prolonged or repeated exposure based
on the available data and the known hazards of the components. The product
contains n-Hexane which is rated as danger of serious damage to health by
prolonged exposure by inhalation; at levels that are higher than is in this
product.

11.10 ASPIRATION HAZARD: As the product is hydrocarbon based and its expected residual viscosity after
dissipation of the propellant is <20.5 cSt, caution should be taken in respect to
aspiration into the lungs. However, ingestion of significant quantities would be
difficult to achieve with aerosol containers. Small amounts of this product
aspirated into the lungs during ingestion or from vomiting may cause chemical
pneumonitis or pulmonary oedema. This can be fatal. If the product has been
ingested or vomiting has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be
monitored for adverse effects. As the product is in an aerosol container,
continued inhalation of spray mists or aerosols may deposit material in the lung
which could present as similar to the person aspirating the product into the
lungs.

11.11 OTHER INFORMATION: The product contains propane, butane and isobutane as propellants. These
alkanes can cause central nervous system depression and cardiac sensitisation
at high concentrations. Light hydrocarbon gases, such as propane, are rated
as asphyxiants.

SECTION 12 – ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

12.1 ECOTOXICITY: The manufacturer nominates the following Ecotoxicity data:
Naphtha, petroleum, hydrotreated light:
LC50 (fish, 96h): 2.5mg/l
Butane, 2-methyl-:
EC50 (Daphnia magna, 48hr): 2.3mg/L
LC50 (Oncorhynchus mykiss, 96hr): 3.1mg/L
There is no data available for the product as a whole. Due to their low solubility
and high volatility; liquefied petroleum gases, such as propane and butane, are
not expected to present an aquatic contamination risk. At ambient
temperatures, liquefied petroleum gases are in the vapour phase in the
atmosphere where they have an average half-life of 6 days. They do not suffer
photolysis or hydrolysis. However, some of the components have been rated
as Toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Based upon calculated values,
the overall product is expected to be rated as Toxic to aquatic life with long
lasting effects.
12.2 PERSISTENCE &
DEGRADABILITY: There is no data available for the product as a whole. Tests indicate that
liquefied petroleum gases are inherently biodegradable.

12.3 BIOACCUMULATIVE
POTENTIAL: There is no data available for the product as a whole. The manufacturer
nominates the following Bioaccumulative potential data:
Naphtha, petroleum, hydrotreated light:
Log POW: 3.3 - 3.9.
12.4 MOBILITY IN SOIL: There is no data available for the product as a whole. The liquefied petroleum
gases are highly volatile and will evaporate into the air rapidly. The solvent
component is relatively volatile and will evaporate to the air if released to the
environment. If the residual lubricating component enters soil, based upon
similar products it is expected that it will adsorb onto soil particles and will not
be mobile.
12.5 OTHER ADVERSE
EFFECTS: Do not allow the product to reach ground water, water courses or sewage
systems.

SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

13.1 DISPOSAL METHODS:
PRODUCT: The product should not be released to the environment, so any unused material
should be recycled wherever possible or be disposed of as hazardous waste at
an appropriate collection depot. The product is also suitable for incineration at
very high temperatures to prevent formation of undesirable combustion
products. Residual, spilled product that cannot be recovered should be
absorbed and then shovelled into a suitable waste container, such as a plastic
drum and then be treated as a solid waste. Follow Government regulations for
disposal of such waste. All unused, waste or spilled product must be taken for
recycling or disposal by suitably licensed contractors in accordance with
Government regulations.

CONTAINERS: Empty containers may contain residual product. DO NOT puncture or incinerate
aerosol containers. Caution: Residues are highly flammable and will ignite with
a source of ignition. Containers should be completely drained in a well
ventilated area where vapours cannot accumulate and then stored until
disposed of. Empty aerosol containers should be taken for recycling or
disposal through suitably licensed contractors in accordance with Government
regulations. The containers are of metal construction and should not be re-
pressurised, cut by a grinder, welded, brazed, soldered, drilled or exposed to
heat, flames or other sources of ignition. Aerosol containers when exposed to
such conditions/treatment may explode causing serious injury or death.
