Precautions in
connection with Fire
Fire fighters should wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) operated
in positive pressure mode and full protective clothing to prevent exposure to
vapours or fumes. Water spray may be used to cool down heat-exposed
containers.

Corrosiveness
Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately.
Small spill: Mop up & wash residue to drain with copious amounts of water.
Large spill: Contain and place absorbent material such as vermiculite, sand or
dirt onto spillage. Collect and place into a suitable labelled container.
Clean area with soap and water, collect residue and place into the same
container. If large quantities of this material enter the waterways contact
the Environmental Protection Authority, or your local Waste Management
Authority.
Avoid eye contact. In the work environment: wear appropriate protective
equipment to prevent exposure. Prevent the creation of vapours or mists in the
work atmosphere and ensure adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed when
not in use. Practice good personal hygiene, that is, always wash hands after
handling, and before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet facilities.
Store in a cool, dry well-ventilated area away from heat and out of direct
sunlight. Avoid contact with incompatible materials, such as those that
support combustion, including strong oxidising agents. Keep containers closed
when not in use and securely sealed and protected against physical damage.
Inspect regularly for deficiencies such as damage or leaks.
Not corrosive to metals.

No exposure standards have been established for the mixture by the National
Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC). However, over-exposure to
some chemicals may result in enhancement of pre-existing adverse medical
conditions and/or allergic reactions and should be kept to the least possible
levels.
No biological limits allocated.
No special engineering controls required. However, under industrial
applications, provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels as low as
possible. Where vapours or mists are generated and exposure standards are
exceeded, the use of respiratory protection, or a local exhaust ventilation
system is recommended.
Not required under normal conditions of use.
Industrial Applications: If engineering controls are not effective in
controlling airborne exposure then respiratory protective equipment should be
used suitable for protecting against airborne contaminants. Final choice of
appropriate breathing protection is dependant upon actual airborne
concentrations and the type of breathing protection required will vary
according to individual circumstances. Expert advice may be required to make
this decision. 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.
Not required. However, avoid eye contact.
Industrial Applications: The use of safety glasses as appropriate when
handling large quantities. Refer to Australian Standard AS/NZS 1337 - Eye
Protectors for Industrial Applications.
The use of PVC or nitrile rubber gloves recommended when handling large
quantities of this material.
Not required under normal conditions of use.
Industrial Applications: Suitable impervious protective clothing.
