SECTION 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES
Skin: Removed contaminated clothing and wash affected areas with plenty of soap and water for
several minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops.
Eye: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for several minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation
develops.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if
breathing becomes difficult. Apply artificial respiration if required.
Ingestion: Give 3-4 glasses of water, but do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, give
fluids again. Seek medical attention if discomfort occurs.
First Aid Facilities: General eyewash.
Advice to Doctor: Ingestion and subsequent vomiting of this product can lead to aspiration of
the product into the lungs which can cause damage.
Additional Information: Medical conditions aggravated by exposure are pre-existing liver,
kidney, skin and nervous system diseases. Target organs: liver, kidneys, central and
peripheral nervous system. The primary routes of entry into the body are via inhalation and
absorption.

SECTION 5 – FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
The solvents are flammable.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: In the event of a fire, dry chemical, foam, water spray and CO2
are the recommended extinguishing agents.
Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire Fighters: Fire fighters should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Fire/Explosive Hazards: Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers to prevent bursting.
Vapours are heavier than air and may travel to distant sources of ignition and flashback.
Hazchem Code: 2Y

SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up: Eliminate all sources of ignition. Due to
the nature of aerosol packaging, a large spill is unlikely. For a small spill, ventilate the area and
contain and absorb with an inert material or cloth. Dispose of waste in a closed, labelled
container in accordance with local, state and Commonwealth laws. Typical disposal is to wrap
the empty aerosol container in several layers of newspaper and dispose of in the garbage. Do not
puncture or incinerate the can.

SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling: Observe precautions stated on product label, and follow industry
CLEAR SHOT PAGE OF 5
safety regulations. Eating and smoking should be prohibited where the preparation is used. Use
with caution around heat, sparks, pilot lights, static electricity and open flame.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store indoors in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Store below
49°C and keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, static electricity, pilot lights etc.

SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards: None established for this mixture. The exposure limits for individual
components follow:
Xylene solvent: TWA – 80ppm (350mg/m³); STEL – 150ppm (655mg/m³)
Hexane solvent: TWA – 20ppm (72mg/m³)
(butane) Propellant: TWA – 800ppm (1900mg/m³)
Engineering Controls: General exhaust is usually adequate, although local ventilation is
recommended to control exposure from operations that can allow the build-up of vapours.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye/Face Protection: Wear safety glasses with shields if the method of use presents the
likelihood of eye contact. AS1336 and AS/NZS1337 should be consulted for information on
eye protection.
Skin Protection: Neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves should be worn if repeated or prolonged
skin contact is likely. Refer to AS/NZS 2161 for information on glove selection. Wear
general duty work clothing and shoes.
Respiratory Protection: None required under normal conditions of use. If used in poorly
ventilated areas where exposure will be above the TWA, use an approved organic vapour
respirator meeting the requirements outlined in AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Effects:
Acute - Swallowed: May cause irritation with possible nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Ingestion and subsequent vomiting of this product can lead to aspiration of the product into the
lungs which can cause damage.
Acute - Eye: May cause irritation seen as tearing and redness.
Acute - Skin: May cause irritation seen as itching and redness. Product may be absorbed through
intact skin with similar effects to inhalation.
Acute - Inhaled: At low levels, no harmful effects are expected. At high vapour concentrations,
inhalation may cause headache, dizziness and nausea with possible anaesthetic effects. Product
vapours displace air and may cause asphyxiation in confined spaces.
Chronic: Chronic inhalation of solvents like xylene and hexane has caused permanent central
and peripheral nervous system damage. Chronic skin contact can lead to dermatitis. Medical
conditions aggravated include pre-existing liver, kidney, skin and nervous system diseases.
Target Organs: Liver, kidney, central and peripheral nervous system.
