4. FIRST AID MEASURES

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New Zealand
0800 764 766).
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated clothing and
loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest
until fully recovered. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have a
qualified person give oxygen through a facemask. If breathing has stopped apply artificial respiration at
once. In the event of cardiac arrest, apply external cardiac massage. Seek immediate medical advice.
Skin contact: If skin or hair contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with
running water. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance.
Eye contact: If in eyes wash out immediately with water. Seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of
water to drink. Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs give further
water. Get to a doctor or hospital quickly.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Specific hazards: Flammable liquid and flammable gas. May form flammable vapour mixtures with air.
Flameproof equipment necessary in area where this chemical is being used. Nearby equipment must be
earthed. Electrical requirements for work area should be assessed according to AS3000. Vapour may
travel a considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Avoid all ignition sources. All potential
sources of ignition (open flames, pilot lights, furnaces, spark producing switches and electrical equipment
etc) must be eliminated both in and near the work area. Do NOT smoke.
Fire fighting further advice: Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of
containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep containers cool with water spray. On
burning may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable
protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.
Hazchem Code: 2YE
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water
spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Wipe up with absorbent (clean rag or
paper towels). Allow absorbent to dry before disposing with normal household garbage.
LARGE SPILLS
Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Prevent further leakage or
spillage if safe to do so. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and the
inhalation of vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation. Contain - prevent run off into drains and
waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert material). Use a spark-free shovel. Collect and seal in
properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred
advise local emergency services.
Dangerous Goods Initial Emergency Response Guide No: 49

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling: Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible
materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Keep containers closed
when not in use - check regularly for leaks.
This material is classified as a Dangerous Good Class 2.1 Flammable Gas as per the criteria of the
Australian Dangerous Goods Code and must be stored in accordance with the relevant regulations.

-

As published by the Safe Work Australia or Department of Labour New Zealand.

TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day
working week over an entire working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which
should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday.
Asphyxiant - gases, which can lead to reduction of oxygen concentration by displacement or dilution. The
minimum oxygen content in air should be 18% by volume under normal atmospheric pressure.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All
atmospheric contamination should be kept too as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards
Product name: RP7

Version: 5.0

Material Safety Data Sheet

should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They
are not a measure of relative toxicity.
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product should
not exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely, potentially
exposed during product manufacture.
Biological Limit Values: As per the National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous
Substances (Safe Work Australia) the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit Allocated.
Engineering measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below Exposure
Standards. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. DO NOT enter confined
spaces where vapour may have collected. A component of this material is an asphyxiant gas, which can
lead to the reduction of oxygen concentration by displacement or dilution. The minimum oxygen content in
air should be 18% by volume under normal atmospheric pressure. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal protection equipment: GREEN: OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, SAFETY GLASSES, GLOVES.
MANUFACTURING, PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT:
Wear overalls, safety glasses and impervious gloves. Available information suggests that gloves made from
nitrile rubber should be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in glove construction
and local conditions, the user should make a final assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating,
drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or reusing.
If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715
and AS/NZS 1716.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSUMER USE:
Avoid inhaling vapour. Wash hands after use.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of
vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation
location.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and
the product label. Symptoms or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs
are:
Acute Effects
Inhalation: Material may be an irritant to mucous membranes and respiratory tract. Inhalation of vapour
can result in headaches, dizziness and possible nausea. Inhalation of high concentrations can produce
central nervous system depression, which can lead to loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement and if
exposure is prolonged, unconsciousness. A component of this material is an asphyxiant; exposure to high
concentrations can cause suffocation.
Skin contact: Contact with skin may result in irritation. Will have a degreasing action on the skin. Repeated
or prolonged skin contact may lead to irritant contact dermatitis.
Ingestion: Swallowing can result in nausea, vomiting and central nervous system depression. If the victim
is uncoordinated there is greater likelihood of vomit entering the lungs and causing subsequent
complications. Aspiration pneumonia (inflammation of the lung) may result.
Eye contact: May be an eye irritant.
Long Term Effects: No information available for product.
Acute toxicity / Chronic toxicity:
No LD50 data available for the product.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
