Safety Data Sheet
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. Seek medical advice if effects persist.
Skin Contact: Effects may be delayed. If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove contaminated clothing
and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by the Poisons
Information Centre or a Doctor; or for 15 minutes and transport to Doctor or Hospital. For gross contamination,
immediately drench with water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and soap
if material is insoluble). For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available. If
blistering occurs, do NOT break blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs seek medical
assistance.
Eye contact: If in eyes wash out immediately with water. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible
precaution to seek medical advice.
Ingestion: 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. Seek medical
advice.
PPE for First Aiders: Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses, respirator. Use with adequate
ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of
AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. 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 re-using.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically. Effects may be delayed.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Hazchem Code: •3YE
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use alcohol resistant foam or dry agent (carbon
dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Specific hazards: Highly flammable liquid and vapour. 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 or decomposing 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 or decomposition.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or dust. Wipe up
with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal.

Issued: 17 August 2020 Version: 6.0 Page 3 of 9
Safety Data Sheet
LARGE SPILLS
If safe to do so, shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Slippery when
spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. 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 crops, sewers or waterways has occurred
advise local emergency services.
Dangerous Goods - Initial Emergency Response Guide No: 14
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Avoid eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from foodstuffs. Store
away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from sources of heat and/or ignition.
Store locked up. Keep container standing upright. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for
leaks.
This material is classified as a Class 3 Flammable Liquid as per the criteria of the "New Zealand NZS5433:
Transport of Dangerous Goods on Land" and/or the "Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
National occupational exposure limits:
TWA STEL NOTICES
ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3
Ethyl benzene 100 434 125 543
Hexane (n-Hexane) 20 72 (bio)
Hexane isomers (other than n-Hexane) 500 1,760 1,000 3,500
Xylene (o-, m-, p-isomers) (Dimethylbenzene) 50 217
As published by WorkSafe New Zealand.
WES-TWA (Workplace Exposure Standard - Time-weighted average). The average airborne concentration of a
substance calculated over an eight-hour working day.
WES-Ceiling (Workplace Exposure Standard - Ceiling). A concentration that should not be exceeded at any time
during any part of the working day.
WES-STEL (Workplace Exposure Standard - Short-term exposure limit). The 15-minute time weighted average
exposure standard. Applies to any 15-minute period in the working day and is designed to protect the worker
against adverse effects of irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue change, or narcosis that may increase the
likelihood of accidents. The WES-STEL is not an alternative to the WES-TWA; both the short-term and time-
weighted average exposures apply. Exposures at concentrations between the WES-TWA and the WES-STEL
should be less than 15 minutes, should occur no more than four times per day, and there should be at least 60
minutes between successive exposures in this range.
(bio) - Exposure can also be estimated by biological monitoring.
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 should not be used as
fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative
toxicity.

Issued: 17 August 2020 Version: 6.0 Page 4 of 9
Safety Data Sheet
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 WorkSafe New Zealand 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. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing appropriate
respirator. Vapour heavier than air - prevent concentration in hollows or sumps. Do NOT enter confined spaces
where vapour may have collected.
Personal Protection Equipment: SAFETY SHOES, OVERALLS, GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES,
RESPIRATOR.
Wear safety shoes, overalls, gloves, safety glasses, respirator. Use with adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk
exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.
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 re-using.
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 contact with clothing. Avoid eye contact and skin
contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close
to the workstation location.
