Physical Description & colour: Light straw coloured liquid.
Odour: Nearly odourless.
Major Health Hazards: causes burns, may cause serious damage to eyes, respiratory tract irritant.
Potential Health Effects
Inhalation:
Short term exposure: Available data indicates that this product is corrosive to the respiratory tract. Symptoms will
include extreme pain in nose and throat and copious secretion of mucous in the nose and throat. Other symptoms
such as pulmonary oedema may also become evident, and may be life threatening if exposure is other than brief.
Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term inhalation.
Skin Contact:
Short term exposure: Available data indicates that this product is corrosive to the skin. Capable of causing
moderate to severe burns with ulceration. Can penetrate to deeper layers of skin, resulting in third degree burns.
Corrosion will continue until product is removed or neutralised. Severity depends on concentration and duration of
exposure. Burns may not be immediately painful; the onset of pain may be minutes to hours.
Long Term exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term skin exposure.
Eye Contact:

SECTION 3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
TWA (mg/m3) STEL (mg/m3)
Ingredients CAS No Conc,%
polyoxyethylene 2-naphthylether 35545-57-4 15-30 not set not set
Potassium hydroxide 1310-58-3 1-5 2 Peak
water 7732-18-5 to 100 not set not set
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
General Information:
You should call The Poisons Information Centre if you feel that you may have been poisoned, burned or irritated by
this product. The number is 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) and is available at all
times. Have this MSDS with you when you call.
Inhalation: If inhalation occurs, contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor at once. Remove source of
contamination or move victim to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, oxygen may be beneficial if administered by trained
personnel, preferably on a doctor's advice. DO NOT allow victim to move about unnecessarily. Symptoms of
pulmonary oedema can be delayed up to 48 hours after exposure.
Skin Contact: Flush contaminated area with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 40 minutes, by the clock.
DO NOT INTERRUPT FLUSHING. If necessary, keep emergency vehicle waiting (show paramedics this MSDS and
take their advice). Under running water, remove contaminated clothing, shoes and leather goods (eg watchbands and
belts). Strongly basic ingredients tend to penetrate the skin and so need longer rinsing than other substances. If
irritation persists, repeat flushing. Seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 20-30
minutes, by the clock, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Neutral saline solution may be used as soon as it is available.
DO NOT INTERRUPT FLUSHING. If necessary, keep emergency vehicle waiting (show paramedics this MSDS and
take their advice). Take care not to rinse contaminated water into the unaffected eye or onto face. If irritation persists,
repeat flushing. Call a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor urgently. Take special care if exposed person is
wearing contact lenses.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting; rinse mouth thoroughly with water and contact a Poisons
Information Centre. Urgent hospital treatment is likely to be needed. Give activated charcoal if instructed.

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire and Explosion Hazards: There is no risk of an explosion from this product under normal circumstances if it is
involved in a fire. It is possible that this product in contact with reactive metals such as zinc and aluminium, my
liberate hydrogen gas which forms explosive mixtures in air.
Only small quantities of decomposition products are expected from this products at temperatures normally achieved in
a fire. This will only occur after heating to dryness.
Fire decomposition products from this product are not expected to be hazardous or harmful.
Extinguishing Media: Not Combustible. Use extinguishing media suited to burning materials. water fog. Water fog
or fine spray is the preferred medium for large fires. Aim to dilute the material with large quantities of water. If
practical, contain diluted material and prevent from entering drains and water courses.
Fire Fighting: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade.
Flash point: Does not burn.
Upper Flammability Limit: Does not burn.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental release: In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Evacuate
the spill area and deny entry to unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Wear full protective chemically resistant
clothing including eye/face protection, gauntlets and self contained breathing apparatus. See below under Personal
Protection regarding Australian Standards relating to personal protective equipment. Suitable materials for protective
clothing include rubber, Viton, Nitrile, butyl rubber, Barricade, neoprene, Teflon, polyethylene, PE/EVAL, Saranex,
Responder. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum, protective goggles; a full face helmet
would be preferred. If there is a significant chance that vapours or mists are likely to build up in the cleanup area, we
recommend that you use a respirator. Usually, no respirator is necessary when using this product. However, if you
have any doubts consult the Australian Standard mentioned below (section 8).
Stop leak if safe to do so, and contain spill. Absorb onto sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material. If spill
is too large or if absorbent material is not available, try to create a dike to stop material spreading or going into drains
or waterways. Because of the corrosiveness of this product, special personal care should be taken in any cleanup
operation. 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.
Contaminated area may be neutralised by washing with weak or dilute acid. Vinegar, citrus juice and most soft drinks
may be suitable. This material may be suitable for approved landfill. Ensure legality of disposal by consulting
regulations prior to disposal. Thoroughly launder protective clothing before storage or re-use. Advise laundry of nature
of contamination when sending contaminated clothing to laundry.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Keep exposure to this product to a minimum, and minimise the quantities kept in work areas. Check
Section 8 of this MSDS for details of personal protective measures, and make sure that those measures are followed.
The measures detailed below under "Storage" should be followed during handling in order to minimise risks to
persons using the product in the workplace. Also, avoid contact or contamination of product with incompatible
materials listed in Section 10.
Storage: This product is a Scheduled Poison. Observe all relevant regulations regarding sale, transport and storage
of this schedule of poison. Store in a cool, well ventilated area. Check containers periodically for corrosion and leaks.
