attention.
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure to fresh air. If breathing difficulty, apply 
artificial respiration and seek medical attention.
Note to Physician: Treat the patient symptomatically.
Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing media: Water, Foam, Dry chemical powder, Carbon dioxide.
Specific Hazards: The material is stable under normal conditions. Hazardous polymerisation 
can occur on heating. On decomposition gives off carbon dioxide, carbon 
monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, volatile amines and ammonia. Wear full
protective clothing.
Fire Fighters: Wear positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus and full 
protective clothing.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Small Spills: Shut off all possible ignition sources. Wear protective equipment to prevent
skin and eye contamination. Clean with absorbent material like sand, soil,
vermiculite or any other inert material. Avoid contamination of drains, 
sewerage and waterways. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers
for disposal as per local council statutory codes.
Large Spills: Shut off all possible ignition sources. Wear protective equipment to prevent
skin and eye contamination. Clean with absorbent material like sand, soil,
vermiculite or any other inert material. Avoid contamination of drains, 
sewerage and waterways. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers
for disposal as per local council statutory codes. If contamination of crops,
waterways, drains or sewerage has occurred, advise Emergency Services

Section 8: Exposure Controls & Personal Protection
Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific product by the National Occupational and
Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia). However, supplier recommended
Hygiene Standard as under;
TWA STEL Carcinogen Notices
         Material            TWA STEL Notices
    ppm    mg/m3 ppm mg/m3  
Isophoronediamine N/E* N/E* N/E* N/E* -
Mercaptan Polymer N/E* N/E* N/E* N/E* -
             
             
N/E* - No Exposure Standard has been established for this product.
Eng. Controls: Special ventilation is not normally required due to the low volatility of the
product at normal temperature. However, in the operation of certain 
equipment or at elevated temperatures, mists or vapours may be generated 
and exhaust ventilation should be provided to maintain airborne
concentration levels below the exposure standards or where no exposure 
standard is allocated, as low as reasonably practicable.
Personal Protection: Use overalls, safety shoes, safety goggles, rubber or chemical resistance
gloves and respirator if required.
Manufacturing, Avoid skin and eye contact and the inhalation of vapour. Wear overalls, 
Packaging & safety goggles and impervious gloves. Available information suggests that the 
Transport: gloves made from PVC should be suitable for intermittent contact. However 
due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the final 
assessment should be made by the user. If inhalation risk exists, wear 
organic vapour respirator meeting requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and 1716. 
Always wash hands with soap and water before smoking, eating, drinking  
or using toilet facilities.
Preparations & use  Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. Sensitive workers should
of product: use protective clothing. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale mist 
or vapours. After each day's use, wash gloves, safety goggles and all the 
contaminated clothing.
