SECTION 3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Ingredients
TWA (mg/m3) STEL (mg/m3)
Poisons Information Centre: 13 1126 from anywhere in Australia, (0800 764 766 in New Zealand)
Product Name: Wash-Out
Page: 2 of 4
This revision issued: January, 2012
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous ingredients are also possible. The 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: First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Skin Contact: Irritation is unlikely. However, if irritation does occur, flush with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5
minutes or until chemical is removed.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until
the product is removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Obtain medical advice immediately if irritation occurs. Take
special care if exposed person is wearing contact lenses.
Ingestion: If product is swallowed or gets in mouth, do NOT induce vomiting; wash mouth with water and give some
water to drink. If symptoms develop, or if in doubt contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
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.
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 likely to be irritating if inhaled.
Extinguishing Media: Not Combustible. Use extinguishing media suited to burning materials.
Fire Fighting: If a significant quantity of this product is involved in a fire, call the fire brigade.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental release: Minor spills do not normally need any special cleanup measures. In the event of a major spill,
prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. As a minimum, wear overalls, goggles and gloves. Suitable
materials for protective clothing include rubber, PVC. Eye/face protective equipment should comprise as a minimum,
protective glasses and, preferably, goggles. 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. 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.
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.
