This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non
hazardous ingredients are also possible.
The SWA TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day
for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that may be equalled (but should not be exceeded) for no
longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures
at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly.

Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Evacuate
the spill area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Wear full protective clothing including
eye/face protection. All skin areas should be covered. See below under Personal Protection regarding Australian
Standards relating to personal protective equipment. Suitable materials for protective clothing include rubber, Nitrile,
butyl rubber, Teflon, PE/EVAL, Responder, polyvinyl alcohol and neoprene. Eye/face protective equipment should
comprise as a minimum, protective goggles. If there is a significant chance that vapours or mists are likely to build up
in the cleanup area, we recommend that you use a respirator. Usually, no respirator is necessary when using this
product. However, if you have any doubts consult the Australian Standard mentioned below (section 8).
Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Absorb onto sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material. If spill
is too large or if absorbent material is not available, try to create a dike to stop material spreading or going into drains
or waterways. Take suitable precautions e.g. use of non-sparking equipment to avoid creating sparks or flames which
may ignite the spilled material. Leaking gases may form an explosion hazard. Any equipment capable of building an
electrostatic charge should be electrically grounded. Sweep up and shovel or collect recoverable product into labelled
containers for recycling or salvage, and dispose of promptly. Recycle containers wherever possible after careful
cleaning. After spills, wash area preventing runoff from entering drains. If a significant quantity of material enters
drains, advise emergency services. This material may be suitable for approved landfill. Ensure legality of disposal by
consulting regulations prior to disposal. Thoroughly launder protective clothing before storage or re-use. Advise
laundry of nature of contamination when sending contaminated clothing to laundry.
