cycloparaffins, aromatic and olefinic hydrocarbons with carbon numbers C4 to C12 range. Benzene Other Exposure Info. NOHSC Exposure Standard time weighted average (TWA) 900 mg/m3 (petrol) Eng. Controls Provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels below the exposure limit. Where vapours or mists are generated, particularly in enclosed areas, and natural ventilation is inadequate, a flame proof exhaust ventilation system is required. Refer to AS 1940 - The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids and AS 2430 - Explosive gas atmospheres for further information concerning ventilation requirements. 16 5

Personal Protection

Protective Equip. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes, and avoid breathing vapours or mists. When exposure is likely, personal protective equipment in a combination appropriate to the degree and nature of exposure, should be selected from the following list:(1) Eye protection (2) PVC gloves (3) PVC apron and sleeves, or full PVC covering (4) PVC or rubber boots Where high concentrations of vapour or mist are likely to occur, an appropriate selection from the following additional equipment is recommended:(1) Short elevated exposures, eg spillage - goggles and correct respiratory protection should be worn. If airborne concentration levels are very high air supplied apparatus should be used. (2) For prolonged elevated exposures - Full face air supplied or self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. CONTAMINATION If contamination occurs, change clothing. Clothing wet with product should be soaked with water before removal to prevent the possibility of ignition by static electricity discharges. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse, and discard internally contaminated gloves and footwear.

Observe good personal hygiene.

Flammability

Fire Hazards Product is Highly Flammable. Isolate from sources of heat, naked flames ,sparks and oxidising materials.Take precautions against discharges of static electricity Earth and bond all process equipment including tanks and drums. Ensure ventilation is adequate to prevent build up of explosive atmosphere. Refer to AS 1940 - Storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids and AS 2865 - Safe working in a confined space, for more specific information on these subjects.

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

Storage and Transport

Storage Precautions Store in a well ventilated place away from ignition sources, oxidizing agents foodstuffs and clothing. Keep containers closed when not in use. Take precautions against static electricity discharges. Transport Classified as a Dangerous Good (Class 3) for transport purposes.

Spills and Disposal

Spills & Disposal Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Extinguish or remove all sources of ignition and stop leak if safe to do so. Contain the spill with sand or earth and take up with a vacuum truck or absorb with absorbent material, sand or earth. Keep away from heat, naked flames and sparks. Place used absorbent in suitable sealed containers for disposal. Disposal Follow state or local authority regulations and guidelines for disposal of the waste. Clean area with detergent and water - do not allow product to enter drains, sewers or water courses- inform the local authorities if this occurs.

Fire/Explosion Hazard

Fire/Explos. Hazard Flammable liquid. Keep storage tanks, pipelines, fire exposed surfaces etc cool with water spray. Shut off any leak if safe to do so and remove sources of re-ignition. Vapour/air mixtures may ignite explosively and flashback along the vapour trail may occur. Hazardous Combustion Products Combustion products include oxides of carbon. Extinguishing Media Use foam, CO2 or powder to extinguish fire. Hazardous Reaction Stable. Avoid strong oxidising agents. Hazchem Code 3[Y]E
