Hazard Statements

To be read in conjunction with SECTIONS 8 & 11
The presence of water and this product together on any surface will result in that surface becoming extremely slippery.
The dry powder may cause irritation in some individuals. Solutions are non-irritating.
Prolonged contact with the dry powder may cause drying or chapping of the skin. No evidence of other adverse effects from available information.
No evidence of adverse effects from available information. However, excessive inhalation of dust may be annoying, and can mechanically impede respiration, due to the hygroscopic properties of the gum, i.e. it can form a paste or gel in the airway.
No evidence of adverse effects from available information.

First Aid Measures

Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents

Inhalation

If large quantities have been inhaled, keep airway open as necessary, and seek medical advice.

Skin contact

Wash with soap and water.

Eye contact

Flush with water. If irritation develops, seek medical advice.

Ingestion

Not applicable.

05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use water-spray and foam extinguishing agents, or multi-purpose dry powder extinguishers.

Specific hazards

In common with most organic substances, this product should be treated as a combustible dust when in the finely-divided and air-suspended state.

Instructions

Treat as "Class A" fire. Product will burn when in contact with a flame, self-extinguishes when ignition source is removed, but tends to smoulder.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

In the event of spillage - shovel, sweep or vacuum, if dry. Wet spills should be thoroughly flushed to drain with water until non-slippery, and all traces have been removed.

Cleanup methods

shovel, sweep or vacuum, if dry. Wet spills should be thoroughly flushed to drain with water until non-slippery, and all traces have been removed.

07

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handling procedures should be such as to avoid excessive dust generation.

Storage

store in a cool, dry place, in sealed containers.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Local exhaust ventilation is recommended if handling generates dust concentrations that exceed the OES.

Hands

Gloves are recommended if extended exposure anticipated.

Eyes

The use of suitable eye protection is recommended if high dust concentrations are present.

Respiratory

If handling generates dust levels which cause irritation, or results in personal exposure exceeding the Occupational Exposure Standard (OES) of 10 mg M⁻³ (8 hr TWA reference period) for total inhalable dust, then suitable approved dust respirator should be used. Personal exposure to dust should ideally be controlled to the lowest level possible below the OES.

Skin/Body

Normal working clothes.
