PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

Exposure Limits

No exposure limits have been established for this material by the National Occupational Health And Safety Commission (NOHSC), however for theconstituents;

SUBSTANCE	TWA ppm mg/m³	STEL ppm mg/m³
N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone	25 103	75 309
Triethylamine	3 12	5 20

Other Exposure Info

TWA - the Time-Weighted Average airborne concentration over an eight-
Hour working day, for a five-day working week over an entire working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday.

Eng. Controls

Use with good general ventilation. If mists or vapours are produced local exhaust ventilation should be used.

TWA

Work safe Exposure Standard Time Weighted Average (TWA): None established

STEL

Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL): None Established

Engineering Controls

Use local exhaust ventilation with a minimum capture velocity of 0.5 metres/second at the point of vapour evolution. Refer to Australian Standards AS1688.

PERSONAL PROTECTION

Respirator Type
(AS 1716)

If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then respiratory protective equipment should be used suitable for protecting against airborne contaminants. Final choice of appropriate breathing protection is dependant upon actual airborne concentrations and the type ofbreathing protection required will vary according to individual circumstances. Expert advice may be required to make this decision. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715, Selection, Use and maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices.

Eye Protection

Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full-face shield as appropriate recommended. Final choice of appropriate eye/face protection will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling orengineering controls and according to risk assessments undertaken. Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 - Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications.

Glove Type

Wear gloves of impervious material. Final choice of appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. Reference should be made to AS/NZS 2161.1: Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance.

Clothing

Wear appropriate clothing including chemical resistant apron where clothing
is likely to be contaminated. It is advisable that a local supplier of personal
protective clothing is consulted regarding the choice of material.

Other Information

Biological Limit Values: No biological limit allocated.

Flammability

Fire Hazards

This product is non-flammable. However, following evaporation of aqueous component, the dried residue may burn if ignited.

SAFETY HANDLING INFORMATION

Storage and Transport

Storage Precautions

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Store between 12°C and 35°C. Keep containers closed when not in use. Store away from oxidising agents and foodstuffs.

Transport

Not classified as a Dangerous Good, according to the Australian Code for The Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail.

Handling

Use in a well ventilated area. Build up of mists or vapours in the atmosphere must be prevented. Avoid breathing in mists or vapours. When dealing with large quantities, repeated or prolonged skin exposure without protection should be prevented in order to lessen the possibility of skin disorders. It is essential that all who come into contact with this material maintain high standards of personal hygiene ie. washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities.

Spills and Disposal

Accidental Release Measures

Slippery when spilt - avoid accidents. Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Wear protective clothing to minimise skin and eye
exposure. If possible contain large spills, absorb with inert absorbent such as vermiculite and place in suitably labelled steel container. Mop up material and place into the same container. Hose down residues or minor spills with excess water. If large quantities of this material enter the waterways contact the Environmental Protection Authority, or your local Waste Management Authority.

Disposal Considerations

Dispose of waste according to federal, EPA and state regulations.
