HAZARD DATA
No specific data is available for the product for chronic exposure symptoms. The ingredients are not listed as carcinogenic in Worksafe’s document “Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment” (May 1995), nor in NOHSC’s “List of Designated Hazardous Substances” (April 1999).
Swallowed: Data suggests that this product is harmful if swallowed.
Eye: This product is mildly irritating to the eyes. It is likely to cause mild discomfort such as watering and redness of the eyes. However, this should quickly disappear once exposure is over.

lll PRECAUTIONS
FOR USE
Risk Phrases are: R10, R20/21/22. Flammable. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed.
A time weighted average (TWA) concentration for an 8 hour day, and 5 day week has not been established by NOHSC Australia for any of the major ingredients in this product. There is a blanket limit of 10mg/m3 for dusts or mists when limits have not otherwise been established.
In industrial situations, concentration values below the TWA value should be maintained. Values may be reduced by process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods. If you believe air borne concentrations of mists, dusts or vapours are high, you are advised to modify the process or environment to reduce the problem.
Respiratory Protection: If there is a significant chance of dusts, vapours or mists accumulating in the area where this product is being used, a mask or respirator should be used. For help in selecting suitable equipment, consult AS/NZS 1715.
Protective Gloves: Impermeable protective gloves should be worn when you are using this product, since absorption through the skin is harmful. For help in selecting suitable equipment, consult AS 2161.
Eye Protection: Protective eyewear is suggested when using this product. It is always prudent to use protective eyewear. Consult AS1336 and AS/NZS 1337 for advice on Industrial Eye Protection.
Clothing: Clean overalls or protective clothing should be worn, preferably with an apron. Consult AS2919 for advice on Industrial Clothing.
Safety Boots: Wearing safety boots in industrial situations is advisory. Consult AS/NZS2210 for advice on Occupational Protective Footwear.
Always wash hands before smoking, eating or
using the toilet.
