=======================================================================================

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Fire/Explosion Hazard
If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Decomposes on heating emitting toxic and/or
irritating fumes including oxides of carbon and nitrogen.

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fire fighters to wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
in confined spaces, in oxygen deficient atmospheres or if exposed to products of decomposition. Full
protective clothing is also recommended.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding fire situation. Use
foam, water spray (fog), CO2 or dry powder. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and for
large fires.

HAZCHEM CODE: None allocated [Aust]

FLAMMABILITY
This material is not flammable.

=======================================================================================

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Material may be slippery when spilt. Walk cautiously. Ventilate area. Wear protective equipment to
prevent skin and eye contact, as outlined in Section 8 of this Material Safety Data Sheet. Bund area
using sand or soil - to prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand, vermiculite
or other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labelled containers for disposal.

=======================================================================================

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Store in a cool place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. Store
away from oxidising agents. Keep containers closed when not using the product. Store in original
packages as approved by manufacturer. Purge with nitrogen and close container when not in use. Do
not eat, drink or smoke in the workplace.

=======================================================================================

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Standards
No exposure standards are available for this product, however, the following exposure standards have
been assigned by [NOHSC] to the following components of the product:

POLYETHER POLYOL
(ACGIH)
[TWA] 10 mg/m³

DIETHYLTOLUENE DIAMINE [DETDA]
No exposure standards have been assigned by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission
(NOHSC)

Engineering Controls
Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are
adequate unless the material is heated, reacted or otherwise changed in some type of chemical reaction,
then the use of a local exhaust ventilation system is recommended. If exhaust ventilation is not
available or inadequate, use approved respirator to Australian Standards.

Personal Protection Equipment
CLOTHING: Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent skin contact.
GLOVES: Wear impervious gloves to prevent skin contact - PVC or natural rubber.
EYES: Wear safety glasses with side shields, chemical goggles or face shield to protect eyes.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Where required, select and use respirators in accordance with
AS/NZS 1715/1716. Respiratory protection should be worn when spraying this material. The use of a
respirator for organic vapours with disposable or with replaceable filters is recommended. Filter
capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering spaces
where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or
any other acceptable International Standard is recommended.

Toxicological Data:
There is no information available for this product.

Toxicological Data for Ingredient(s):
DIETHYLTOLUENEDIAMINE [DETDA]:
Diethyltoluenediamine (DETDA) has acute oral (rat) and dermal (rabbit) LD50 values of 485 mg/kg
and 700 mg/kg, respectively. A two-year feeding study (rats) showed DETDA caused adverse effects in
the pancreas, liver, thyroid, and eyes. An increase in the number of tumours in the liver and thyroid of
male rats, and in the liver and possibly mammary gland of female rats was found. In rare cases,
sensitisation to DETDA has been reported to occur in humans.
