This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary. Trace quantities of impurities are also likely.

Health Effects:

No specific data is available for the product for chronic exposure symptoms. The ingredients are not listed as carcinogenic in Worksafe’s document “Exposure Standards for Atmospheric Contaminants in the Occupational Environment” (May 1995).

Acute Effects:

This product is virtually non-toxic by normal routes of exposure. There is no data to suggest that chronic exposure has any adverse health effects in the way of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity or reproductive effects. However, as with many products of organic origin, it is possible that this product may contain pathogenic micro-organisms
Ingestion Data suggests that this product should present no significant problems to typical persons if used as intended. May cause nausea and digestive tract irritation if ingested in large amounts
Eye: This product may cause slight eye irritation. However, it is unlikely to cause more than mild transient discomfort. It is also unlikely to cause any significant lasting effects.
Skin: Data suggests that this product should present no significant problems to typical persons if used as intended. May cause slight irritation
Inhalation: Data suggests that this product may cause some irritation but should present no significant problems to typical persons if used as intended. May cause slight irritation

First Aid:

Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink copious amounts of water, seek medical advice
Eyes: If product gets in eyes, wash material from them with running water. If they begin watering or reddening,take special care in washing thoroughly.
Skin: If product gets on skin, wash skin to remove material. No further measures should normally be required.
Inhalation: No first aid measures normally required. However, if inhaled, and irritation has developed, remove to fresh air and observe until recovered
Advice to Doctor:  Treat symptomatically. Note the nature of this product

Exposure Standards:

A time weighted average (TWA) concentration for an 8-hour day, and 5-day week has not been established by Worksafe Australia for any of the major ingredients in this product. There is a blanket limit of 10mg/m³ for dusts or mistswhen limits have not otherwise been established. The nature of this product makes it unlikely that this level will be approached in normal use.

Engineering Controls:

In industrial situations, concentration values below the TWA value should be maintained. Values may be reduced by process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods. If you believe air borne concentrations of mists, dusts or vapours are high; you are advised to modify the process or environment to reduce the problem.

Personal Protection:

Respiratory Protection: It is usually safe to not use a dust mask or respirator protection on account of this product.
Protective Gloves: Protective gloves are nor normally necessary when using this product. However it is always prudent to wear gloves. For help in selecting suitable equipment, consult AS 2161.
