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).

Acute Effects:

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.

Skin: Data suggests that this product may be absorbed through the skin and be harmful by skin absorption. Major skin exposure may lead to health problems. Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis due to defatting effect.

Inhalation: Data suggests that this product is harmful if inhaled. Minor or short term exposure may lead to short term health problems, including headache, dizziness and nausea. Long term exposure may lead to permanent health problems.

First Aid:

Safety deluge showers should be provided where this product is being used.

If poisoning occurs, contact a Doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia. If possible have this MSDS or product label with you.

Swallowed: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Wash mouth with water and give a glass of water to drink. Seek medical attention.

Eyes: If product gets in eyes, wash material from them with running water. If they begin watering or reddening, take special care in washing thoroughly.

Skin: If product gets on skin, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water to remove material. If you begin to feel unwell, seek medical attention.

Inhalation: If vapours or mists have been inhaled, and irritation or unusual symptoms have developed, remove to fresh air and observe until recovered. If irritation or symptoms persists more than about 30 minutes, seek medical advice.

Advice to Doctor: Treat symptomatically. Note the nature of this product.

Risk Phrases are: R10, R20/21/22. Flammable. Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin, and if swallowed.

Exposure Standards:

A time weighted average (TWA) has been established for Turpentine spirit, present in significant quantities in this product. This value is 557mg/m³. The corresponding STEL level is "not set". The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that should not be exceeded for more than 15 minutes and should not be repeated for more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. See ingredients section on page 1 of this data sheet.

Engineering Controls:

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.

Personal Protection:

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.
