SECTION 3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Ingredients
TWA (mg/m3) STEL
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are also possible. The ASCC 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. SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. 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, PVC. 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

or waterways. 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.
