HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

Health Effects

Acute - Swallowed Irritant. Oral LD50 (rat) for White Spirit > 2000 mg/kg, which is considered by NOHSC not to be harmful.
Acute - Eye Mild eye irritant. White Spirit is practically non-irritating to the eyes.
Acute - Skin Mildly irritating to the skin. White Spirit is a slight to moderate skin irritant. Dermal LD50 (rat) for White Spirit > 2000 mg/kg, which is considered by NOHSC not to be harmful.
Acute - Inhaled The exposure standard for White Spirit is 790 mg/m³ (TWA) (Source: NOHSC). However, due to the form in which the product is supplied and under normal conditions of storage and use, this product does not present an inhalation hazard.
Hazards
Identification
This product is NOT classified as hazardous due to its viscosity and phase stability at temperatures up to and including 40C. Hence, it does NOT require classification using the risk phrase R65.
Chronic Prolonged and constant contact may lead to irritation and possibly dermatitis.
Other Information The presence of white spirit in this product suggests the need for the Risk Phrase R65 (Harmful: May cause lung damage if swallowed) to be included on this MSDS. The severity of symptoms after ingestion of white spirit depends on whether it is aspirated into the lungs, as aspiration can cause serious bronchopneumonia. As this product is a viscous oil-in-water emulsion, the likelihood of aspiration of white spirit into the lungs is substantially reduced due to the product's form, viscosity and phase stability at temperatures up to 40C.

First Aid

Swallowed Do NOT induce vomiting. Give water to drink. Seek medical attention.
Eye Hold the eyes open and flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.
Skin Remove contaminated clothing and launder before re-use. Wash affected skin with water.
Inhaled Remove the victim from the source of exposure. If the victim is not breathing, apply artificial resuscitation.
First Aid
Facilities
This Material Safety Data Sheet should be provided to the attending medical doctor. An eye irrigation facility should be available.

Spills and Disposal

Spills & Disposal Personnel involved in cleaning up any spills are to wear the appropriate protective equipment. Cordon off the spillage area. Isolate the source of the spillage or leak. Contain the spillage using a suitable non-flammable absorbent material such as sand or diatomaceous earth, and then transfer into sealed metal containers for disposal. Dispose of large amounts in a chemical dump according to local authority statutory requirements. For small amounts, wash the product to the drain with a large excess of water.

Fire/Explosion Hazard

Fire/Explos.
Hazard
Because this product exists in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion, it will not flash and does not support combustion. However, if the emulsion splits and the product exists in a phase separated form then a flammable vapour space above the product may exist.
Hazardous
Decomposition or
Byproducts
During combustion, this product may produce carbon monoxide as well as other unidentifiable organic compounds.
Extinguishing
Media
Use the extinguisher applicable to the source of the fire.

OTHER INFORMATION

Short Summary of
Assessment of
Environmental
Impact
White spirit would be expected to partition largely to the atmosphere; the less volatile constituents would partition to soil and sediment, where lowered bioavailability would reduce uptake by organisms. White spirit is readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions. Research indicates that White spirit has a moderate potential for bioaccumulation; however bioconcentration would be expected to be low. White spirit exhibits moderate toxicity to aquatic organisms.
Most of the other major organic components of this product are expected to be readily biodegradable and to exhibit low aquatic toxicity, although one surfactant is recognised to have poor biodegradability.
Safety Statement S45 In case of accident or if you feel unwell seek medical advice immediately
S53 Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.
AICS (Australia) To the manufacturer's best knowledge, all components of this product are listed on AICS.
