6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately.

Spills may be slippery. Avoid breathing vapours and contact

with skin and eyes. Contain spill and mop up, or soak up with

an inert absorbent material. Place in a suitable, labelled

container for waste disposal.

7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Storage and Transport: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid heat,

sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. Wear

personal protective equipment when risk of exposure occurs.

No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources. Keep

containers securely sealed.

Incompatibility (Materials to avoid for purposes of transport,

handling and storage only): Avoid strong oxidizing agents.

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Standards: None assigned for mixture.

Atmospheric Contaminant Exposure Standard for:

hexane CAS No. 110-54-3 TWA = 20 ppm (72 mg/cu.m)

Peak limitation

STEL = -

[Source: Safe Work Australia HSIS- 2011]

Engineering Controls: The level of protection and types of

controls necessary will vary depending on potential exposure

conditions. Select controls based on a risk assessment of

local circumstances. Appropriate measures include: adequate

explosion-proof ventilation to control airborne concentrations

below the exposure limits.

Personal Protection:

Gloves - Wear PVC or nitrile gloves if repeated skin contact

may occur.

Eye-protection – Safety glasses with side-shields or goggles.

Respiratory – If inhalation risk exists, consider wearing a

respirator with Type AX filter of sufficient capacity.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Health Effects:

Acute -

There is limited evidence that inhalation, skin contact and/or

ingestion may cause health damage.

Swallowed: Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.

Eye: Contact with eyes may result in irritation.

Skin: Principal route of exposure is usually by skin contact.

May cause some slight irritation or de-fatting.

Inhalation: Inhalation of concentrated vapours, if present, in

confined spaces may cause irritation to eyes and mucous

membranes, may cause headaches and dizziness, could be

anaesthetic and may have other central nervous system

effects. Aspiration into the lungs when swallowed or vomited

may cause chemical pneumonitis which can be fatal.

Health Effects -

Chronic

. Possible risk of impaired fertility.

Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged

exposure through inhalation. Limited evidence of carcinogenic

effect. Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause redness

or dermatitis.

Toxicity data:

Oral (rat) LD50 = 28710 mg/kg

Inhalation (human) TCLo = 190 ppm/8W

Inhalation (rat) LD50 = 48000 ppm/4h

Irritation Eye (rabbit) = 10 mg - Mild

(Note: this data is from published information. Agar Cleaning

Systems does not carry out animal tests.)

12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicity: Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term

adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Persistence and degradability: The principal hydrocarbon in this

product is expected to be biodegradable. Degrades rapidly in

air by photochemical means.

Mobility: Data for the principal hydrocarbon: Adsorbs to soil and

has low mobility. Floats on water.

Advice: Do not allow product to enter drains, waterways or

sewers.

13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

For disposal, refer to State Land Waste Management authority

and Environmental Protection Authority. Containers may still

present a chemical hazard/danger when empty.

STEL = Short term exposure limit

CAS = Chemical Abstracts Service

N/A = Not Applicable
