INFORMATION

HEALTH EFFECTS - ACUTE EXPOSURE
ROUTES OF ENTRY
Inhalation, ingestion, eye contact, skin contact/absorption or when consumed with contaminated food or water.
TARGET ORGANS
Eyes, skin, respiratory system, central nervous system, mucous membranes, gastrointestinal tract, blood, liver and
kidneys.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE
Skin disorders, damaged skin, respiratory system disease, kidney, liver, or blood disorders
Effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on human health and the environment depend on how much is present and the
length and frequency of exposure. Effects also depend on the health of a person or the condition of the
environment when exposure occurs.
Prolonged, repeated skin contact with petroleum hydrocarbons may defat the skin resulting in possible irritation and
dermatitis.
No adverse health effects are expected if the product is handled in accordance with this Safety Data Sheet and the
product label.
The following acute (short term) health effects may occur immediately or shortly after exposure to this product:
High vapour concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, mouth, and throat, mucous membranes and the
respiratory tract, may cause sore throat, coughing, nausea and vomiting, headaches and dizziness, fatigue,
lethargy, weakness, blurred vision, mental sluggishness, insomnia, anorexia, tremor, are anaesthetic and may have
other central nervous system effects.
Symptoms of CNS depression and irritation include weakness, dizziness, unconsciousness and convulsions.
Gastroenteritis, heartburn, intestinal pain, diarrhoea and loss of appetite may also occur.
Acute exposure may also result in narcosis, pulmonary irritation, pulmonary oedema and severe kidney and liver
damage.
Narcotic effects occur at levels below the exposure standard.
Vapour may cause conjunctivitis. Corneal damage may occur after prolonged contact.
Can be absorbed by the skin with resultant toxic effects.
Breathing air which contains high concentrations of solvents may cause delayed lung damage.
Exposure to very high concentrations can be fatal.
Systemic effects from short-term, high concentration exposures may include lung, kidney and brain damage.
Significant exposure to this chemical may adversely affect people with chronic disease of the respiratory system,
skin and/or eyes.
SWALLOWED
Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments.
Small amounts or low dose rates are regarded as practically non-harmful.
Ingestion of small quantities can result in headache, nausea, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, abdominal pain,
cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea and central nervous system depression.
If a large amount ( > 1 ml/kg) is ingested and retained, may cause gastrointestinal irritation, corrosion of the
Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 2 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

gastrointestinal tract, damage to the mouth and throat, severe poisoning with kidney damage, central nervous
system effects and unconsciousness.
Tends to break into a foam if the patient vomits.
Small amounts of liquid aspirated into respiratory system during ingestion or from vomiting may cause broncho-
pneumonia or pulmonary oedema.
If the victim is uncoordinated there is a greater likelihood of vomit entering the lungs and causing subsequent
complications.
EYE
The vapour and the liquid are both severe eye irritants if exposure is prolonged.
The liquid is highly irritating to the eyes and is capable of causing temporary discomfort or pain (experienced as
excessive blinking and tear production) with mild redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind burn), temporary
impairment of vision and other transient eye damage/ulceration.
The liquid is capable of causing corneal damage with loss of sight if not promptly and adequately treated.
SKIN
Low order of toxicity.
Contact with the skin may result in irritation with itching and local redness if exposure is prolonged.
Frequent or prolonged contact may cause more severe irritation and can defat and dry the skin leading to
discomfort, irritant contact dermatitis and possible tissue destruction.
Can be absorbed through the skin with resultant toxic effects.
Absorption by skin may readily exceed vapour inhalation exposure.
Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for inhalation.
Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to overall exposure and may also invalidate the
exposure standard.
Capable of causing skin sensitisation and allergic skin reactions.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing skin condition.
Bare unprotected skin, abraded or irritated skin, open cuts etc. should not be exposed to this material.
INHALED
Low order of toxicity.
Vapour/mist concentrations above recommended exposure levels are extremely irritating to mucous membranes,
eyes, upper respiratory tract and lungs, could be anaesthetic and may have other central nervous system effects.
Acute effects from inhalation of high vapour concentrations may be dryness of the mouth and throat, chest and
nasal irritation with coughing and sneezing, nausea and vomiting, stupor, low blood pressure, rapid and irregular
pulse, and weakness of the legs.
CNS depression may be evident early and is characterized by headache, dizziness, increased reaction time,
fatigue, lassitude, drowsiness, irritability, loss of co-ordination, impaired judgement, gastrointestinal disturbances
(e.g. nausea, anorexia and flatulence).
If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead to narcosis, unconsciousness,
respiratory depression, even coma and possible death.
Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures. Toxic effects are increased by consumption of alcohol.
Repeated exposure may cause sensitisation and/or allergic reactions.
Small amounts of liquid aspirated into respiratory system during ingestion or from vomiting may cause serious
(even fatal) pneumonitis.
If the victim is uncoordinated there is a greater likelihood of vomit entering the lungs and causing subsequent
complications.
HEALTH EFFECTS - CHRONIC EXPOSURE
Principal routes of exposure are usually by accidental skin and eye contact contact/absorption and inhalation of
vapours especially at higher temperatures.
Chronic (long term) health effects can occur at some time after exposure to this product and can last for months or
years.
Symptoms of chronic exposure may include weakness, loss of appetite, burning eyes, stomach-ache, nausea,
vomiting, sore throat, fatigue, insomnia, heartburn, intestinal pain, slightly enlarged liver, colitis, and dermatitis.
Can be absorbed through the skin with resultant toxic effects.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact causes severe irritation and may lead defatting with drying, cracking, irritation
Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 3 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

and dermatitis.
Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis.
Inhalation of material may aggravate asthma and inflammatory or fibrotic pulmonary diseases.
Evidence from animal tests indicate that repeated or prolonged solvent inhalation exposures could result in kidney
disorders, nervous system impairment, liver, lung and blood changes.
The components in this chemical have not been adequately evaluated to determine whether brain or other nerve
damage could occur with repeated exposure.
However, many solvents and other petroleum based chemicals have been shown to cause such damage.
Effects may include reduced memory and concentration, personality changes (withdrawal, irritability), fatigue, sleep
disturbances, reduced co-ordination, and/or effects on nerves supplying internal organs (autonomic nerves) and/or
nerves to the arms and legs (weakness, "pins and needles").
Chronic Toluene habituation occurs following intentional abuse (paint sniffing) or from occupational exposure.
Ataxia, incoordination and tremors of the hands and feet, headache, abnormal speech, transient memory loss,
convulsions, coma, drowsiness, reduced colour perception, frank blindness, nystagmus (rapid, involuntary eye
movements), decreased hearing leading to deafness and mild dementia have all been associated with chronic
abuse. Due to small amounts of Carbon Tetrachloride, caution should be exercised when heating and/or melting
the product to avoid breathing vapours.
Danger of serious damage to health after prolonged exposure to carbon tetrachloride.
Carbon Tetrachloride is a PROBABLE CARCINOGEN in humans as it has been shown to be a carcinogen in some
animal tests.
All exposures to this product should be reduced to the lowest possible level.
MIXED EXPOSURES
Because smoking can cause heart disease, as well as lung cancer, emphysema, and other respiratory problems, it
may worsen
respiratory conditions caused by chemical exposure.
Even if you have smoked for a long time, stopping now will reduce your risk of developing health problems.
Because more than light alcohol consumption can cause liver damage, drinking alcohol can increase the liver
damage caused by this product
FIRST AID
SWALLOWED
Harmful if swallowed.
If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting due to the hazard of solvent aspiration into the lungs which may cause mild
to severe pulmonary injury and possibly death.
Tends to break into a foam if the patient vomits.
Should vomiting occur, place patient's head downwards, head lower than hips, to prevent vomit entering the lungs.
This is especially important as aspiration of this material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonia, which can
be fatal.
If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, rinse mouth out with plenty of water and give 1 or 2 glasses of water
to drink.
Do NOT give anything by mouth if the victim is convulsing or unconscious .
Ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body.
IMMEDIATELY call a doctor or Poisons Information Centre and/or transport to an emergency facility or hospital.
EYE
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.
Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
Immediately and continuously irrigate with copious quantities of fresh, low pressure water or normal saline solution
for at least 15 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control centre.
Eyelids should be held open.
Ensure irrigation under the eyelids by occasionally lifting upper and lower lids.
Remove any contaminated clothing and flush area with water until irritation subsides.
Do NOT put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.
IMMEDIATELY after flushing eyes transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or
irritation) develop.
Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 4 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

Seek immediate medical attention, preferably from an ophthalmologist.
SKIN
If GROSS contamination occurs, IMMEDIATELY soak contaminated clothing, including footwear, with water.
Remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear, and gently wash the affected areas thoroughly with water,
then mild soap and water.
If exposure has been prolonged or severe or if swelling, redness or irritation occur seek medical advice and be
prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.
Launder contaminated clothing before re-use. Allow contaminated footwear to dry thoroughly before re-using.
Can be absorbed through the skin with resultant toxic effects.
INHALED
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled :
IMMEDIATELY remove affected person(s) to fresh air, taking care not to become affected yourself.
Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.
Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used. if not available, use a level of
protection greater than or equal to that advised under Respirator Recommendation.
Remove any contaminated clothing and loosen remaining clothing.
If breathing is normal, allow the patient to assume the most comfortable position and keep warm. Keep at rest until
fully recovered.
If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop,
call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital.
If breathing is difficult and patient is cyanotic (blue), ensure airways are clear and have a qualified person give
oxygen through a face mask.
If breathing has stopped, commence Expired Air Resuscitation (E.A.R.).
In the event of cardiac arrest, commence Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (C.P.R.)
Seek IMMEDIATE medical attention or transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
Poison Information Centres in each State capital city can provide additional assistance for scheduled
poisons.

ADVICE TO DOCTOR
Principal routes of exposure are skin contact/absorption and inhalation of the vapor/spray mist. Onset of symptoms may be delayed several hours after exposure. Primary threat to life from ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure. There is no specific antidote. Treatment of overexposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Individuals experiencing breathing difficulties after exposure to vapor generated in aerosol applications should be observed for at least 48 hours in case delayed respiratory complications develop. Extreme care must be taken to prevent aspiration. Any material aspirated during vomiting may cause lung injury. Pulmonary oedema is a possible complication following aspiration. If vomiting occurs, hold patient with head below the hips to prevent pulmonary aspiration. If it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents, this should be done by means least likely to cause aspiration (e.g. gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation). In the absence of depression or convulsions, or impaired gag-reflex, ipetic emesis can also be done without increasing the hazard of aspiration. Skin sensitisation may result from a single acute exposure. Sensitisation may cause difficulty in breathing similar to asthma. Following acute or short term repeated exposures to Toluene: 1. Toluene is absorbed across to alveolar barrier, the blood/air mixture being 11.2/15.6 (at 37°C). The order of Toluene in expired breath, is in the order of 18 ppm following sustained exposures to 100 ppm. The tissue/blood proportion is 1 / 3 except in adipose where the proportion is 8 /10. 2. Metabolism by microsomal mono-oxygenation, results in the production of hippuric acid. This may be detected in the urine in amounts of between 0.5 and 2.5 g/24 hr which represents, on average 0.8 gm/gm of creatinine. The biological half-life of hippuric acid is in the order of 1-2 hours. Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 5 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

3. Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 < 50 mm Hg or pO2 > 50 mm Hg) should be intubated. 4. Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocadiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves clearance. 5. A chest X-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax. 6. Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with aminophylline a second choice). 7. Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of a cuffed endotracheal tube in adult patients.
MEDICAL TESTING
For those with frequent or potentially high exposure (half the TLV or greater, or significant skin contact), the
following is recommended before beginning work and at regular times after that:
Urinary Hippuric acid excretion (at the end of shift) as an index of overexposure. If symptoms develop or overexposure is suspected, the following may be useful : Urine concentration of m-Methylhippuric Acid (at the end of workshift) as an index of overexposure. A complete blood count to include at least a red cell count, a white cell count, haemoglobin and haematocrit. A comprehensive physical examination with emphasis given to haematological and pulmonary systems, mucous membranes, skin and eyes. Comprehensive medical, work and reproductive histories with special emphasis directed to the haematological system and symptoms related to pulmonary and mucous membrane irritation. Interview for brain effects, including recent memory, mood (irritability, withdrawal), concentration, headaches, malaise and altered sleep patterns. Consider cerebellar, autonomic and peripheral nervous system evaluation. Positive and borderline individuals should be referred for neuropsychological testing. In addition, the physician should determine the worker's suitability for respirator use. Workers or job applicants who have medical conditions that would be aggravated by the use of a respirator need to receive counselling on the increased risk of impairment of their health. In certain cases, to provide sound medical advice to the employer and the employee, the physician must evaluate situations not directly related to this product. For example, employees with skin diseases may be unable to tolerate wearing protective clothing. In addition, those with chronic respiratory diseases may not tolerate the wearing of respirators. Additional tests and procedures that will help the physician determine which employees are medically unable to wear respirators must include a pulmonary function test with measurement of the employee's forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume at one second (FEV1). Ratios of FEV1 to FVC as well as measured FVC and measured FEV1 to their expected values corrected for variations due to age, sex, race, and height must be calculated. Whether a chest X-ray will provide useful information should be considered. Any evaluation should include a careful history of past and present symptoms with an exam.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

EXPOSURE LIMITS
This Fact Sheet is a summary source of information of all potential and most severe health hazards that may result from exposure. These Exposure Standards are issued as guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards and are for air levels only. When skin contact also occurs, you may be overexposed, even though air levels are less than the limits listed below. Symptoms for skin absorption are the same as for inhalation. Contact with eyes and mucous membranes may also contribute to overall exposure and may also invalidate the exposure standard. All contact with this chemical should be reduced to the lowest possible level. Duration of exposure, concentration of the substance and other factors will affect your susceptibility to any of the potential effects described below. If you think you are experiencing any work-related health problems, see a doctor trained to recognize occupational diseases. Take this Fact Sheet with you. No value has been assigned for this specific material by the ACGIH (Worksafe Australia). Threshold Limit Value (TLV) as recommended by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia [1991]) for some of the major components is :- TOLUENE Toluene is listed as a hazardous air pollutant. TLV-TWA : 100 ppm (377 mg/m3) SKIN A4 (Under review) : 150 ppm (565 mg/m3) as recommended by Worksafe Australia (1991) : 0.16 - 6.7 (detection), 1.9 - 69 (recognition) The odor threshold only serves as a warning of exposure. Not smelling it does not mean you are not being exposed. NOTE : This substance has been classified by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as causing Cancer in humans. Detector tubes for toluene measuring in excess of 5 ppm, are available. Exposure limits with “skin” notation indicate that vapour and liquid may be absorbed through intact skin. High concentrations of toluene in the air produce depression of the central nervous system (CNS) in humans. Intentional toluene exposure (paint/glue sniffing) at maternally-intoxicating concentration has also produced birth defects. Foetotoxicity appears at levels associated with CNS narcosis and probably occurs only in those with chronic toluene induced kidney failure. Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to prevent transient headache and irritation, to provide a measure of safety for possible disturbances to human reproduction, the prevention of reduction in cognitive responses reported amongst humans inhaling greater than 40 ppm, and the significant risks of haepatotoxic, behavioural and nervous system effects (including impaired reaction time and incoordination). Although toluene/ethanol interactions are well recognised, the degree of protection afforded by the TLV-TWA among drinkers is not known. CARBON TETRACHLORIDE TLV-TWA Absorption through skin may be a source of exposure. Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 7 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

Odour Threshold Value
The odor threshold only serves as a warning of exposure. Not smelling it does not mean you are not being exposed. Carbon Tetrachloride is a PROBABLE CANCER CAUSING AGENT in humans. There may be no safe level of exposure to a carcinogen, so all contact should be reduced to the lowest possible level. TLV-TWA is the time weighted average concentration of the workplace atmosphere for a normal 8 hour work day and a 40 hour work week, to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without adverse effect. These TLV's are issued as guidelines only and should not be interpreted as the fine dividing line between safe and dangerous conditions. They are not a measure of relative toxicity. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is practically possible. STEL's (Short Term Exposure Limits) are expressed as airborne concentrations of substances, averaged over a period of 20 minutes. This short term TWA concentration should not be exceeded at any time during a normal 8 hour working day. Workers should not be exposed at the STEL concentration continuously for longer than 15 minutes, or for more than four such periods per working day. A minimum of 60 minutes should be allowed between successive exposures at the STEL concentration. STEL is the concentration to which workers can be exposed continuously for a short period of time without suffering from : - chronic or irreversible tissue damage, or - narcosis of a sufficient degree to increase the likelihood of accidental injury, impair self-rescue or materially reduce work efficiency, and provided that the daily TLV-TWA is not exceeded. HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE BEING EXPOSED Exposure to hazardous substances should be routinely evaluated. This may include collecting personal and air samples. You have a legal right to obtain copies of sampling results from your employer. If you think you are experiencing any work related health problems, see a doctor trained to recognize occupational diseases. Take this MSDS with you. ENGINEERING CONTROLS : Unless a less toxic chemical can be substituted for a hazardous substance, ENGINEERING CONTROLS are the most effective way of reducing exposure. The best protection is to enclose operations and/or provide local exhaust ventilation at the site of chemical release. Isolating operations can also reduce exposure. Using respirators or protective equipment is less effective than the controls mentioned above, but is sometimes necessary. Even if the product is used outdoors, respirators should still be worn. Duration of exposure, concentration of the substance and other factors will affect your susceptibility to any of the potential effects. Use away from all ignition sources. No smoking or open lights. Ensure sufficient ventilation to maintain concentration below exposure standard in warehouse or closed storage areas. General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Where rapid build up of vapors or mists are generated, particularly in enclosed areas, and natural ventilation is inadequate, a flame proof exhaust ventilation system is required. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while wearing hydrocarbon vapor /acid mist respirator (meeting the Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 8 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

requirements of AS1715 & AS1716) or dust respirator/air supplied mask.
In confined areas where there is inadequate ventilation, or if risk of overexposure exists, wear SAA (supplied air
type) respirator meeting the requirements of AS1715 & AS1716.
Equipment MUST be explosion proof.
Keep containers closed when not in use.
Special controls should be in place for highly toxic chemicals or when significant skin, eye, or breathing exposures
are possible.
Refer to AS 1940 - The storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids and AS 2430 - Explosive gas
atmospheres for further information concerning ventilation requirements.
In evaluating the controls present in your workplace, consider:
(2) how much of the substance is released into the workplace and (3) whether harmful skin or eye contact could occur. NOTE : Vapor is heavier than air and may collect in hollows, pits storage tanks or sumps. Do NOT enter confined spaces where vapor may have collected without using an approved, positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (meeting the requirements of AS1715 and AS1716 ) and an observer present for assistance.
LOCAL EXHAUST : Face velocity > 20 m/min.
FLAMMABILITY :
Highly flammable liquid. Flammability is due entirely to solvent content.
Prolonged heating at temperatures in excess of 70 °C or heating above 200 °C for short periods of time will result
in decomposition and liberation of toxic fumes of HYDROGEN CHLORIDE and/or CHLORINE.
Because of the release of hydrogen chloride and/or chlorine fumes on strong heating, product may be considered
to be self-extinguishing.
Avoid direct sources of heat, naked lights, sparks, all ignition sources and oxidising materials.
Can readily form flammable/explosive mixtures with air.
Ensure ventilation is adequate to prevent build up of explosive atmosphere.
Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back.
Flameproof equipment necessary in areas where this product is being used.
Earth and bond all process equipment, including tanks, hoses and drums to avoid static charge build up.
Nearby equipment should be earthed.
Refer to AS 1940 - Storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids and AS 2865 - Safe working in a
confined space, for more specific information on these subjects.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
WORKPLACE CONTROLS ARE BETTER THAN PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
In case of hypersensitivity of the respiratory tract and skin (e.g. asthmatics and those who suffer from chronic
bronchitis and chronic skin complaint) it is inadvisable to work with the product.
The following recommendations are only guidelines and may not apply to every situation :-
Observe good personal hygiene.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes, and avoid breathing vapors or mists.
Do NOT eat, smoke, or drink where this product is handled, processed, or stored, since the chemical can be
swallowed.
Personal protective equipment should not be worn in lunch areas to prevent migration of product to an area where
other employees may be unknowingly exposed.
Keep working clothes separate. Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
Do not take contaminated work clothes home. Family members could be exposed.
ALWAYS wash hands carefully before breaks, eating, drinking, smoking, using the toilet and at end of work.
Eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available for emergency use.
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective
equipment required.
For further information consult your Occupational Health and Safety Adviser.
Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 9 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

For detailed advice on Personal Protective Equipment, refer to the following Australian Standards :-
HB 9 (Handbook 9)
Manual of industrial personal protection. Eye protectors for industrial applications. Selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective devices.
When exposure is likely, personal protective equipment in combination appropriate to the degree and nature of
exposure, should be selected from the following lists:-
EYES
Should be protected by chemical splash goggles, safety glasses fitted with side shields or full face shield unless full
face piece respiratory protection is worn.
Contact lenses should NOT be worn as soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate irritants.
If vapour causes eye irritation or if an inhalation risk exists a full-face, organic vapor respirator (meeting the
requirements of AS1715 & AS1716) should be used.
SKIN
contact should be avoided by using barrier cream, wearing impervious, chemically resistant work clothing (PVC
apron and sleeves or full PVC covering or other work clothing), safety boots (PVC or rubber) and impervious,
chemical protective gloves (PVC, Viton, polyurethane or Fluorene/Chloroprene) if needed to avoid repeated or
prolonged skin contact.
Safety equipment suppliers/manufacturers can provide recommendations on the most protective glove/clothing for
your operation.
All protective clothing (suits, gloves, footwear, headgear) should be clean, available each day, and put on before
work.
Do NOT use solvent to clean the skin but use skin cleansing cream.
If contamination occurs, IMMEDIATELY remove all contaminated clothing, wash or shower to remove the chemical
and change into clean clothing.
Clothing wet with product should be soaked with water before removal to prevent the possibility of ignition by static
electricity discharges.
At the end of the workshift, wash any areas of the body that may have contacted this product, whether or not
known skin contact has occurred.
Launder contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using, and discard internally
contaminated gloves and footwear.
Contaminated work clothes should be laundered by individuals who have been informed of the hazards of exposure
to this product.
RESPIRATORY
IMPROPER USE OF RESPIRATORS IS DANGEROUS.
Local exhaust ventilation and respiratory protection required in insufficiently ventilated working areas and during
spraying.
Where the potential exists for exposures over 100 ppm, use an approved full facepiece respirator with a
hydrocarbon vapour cartridge/canister.
The effectiveness of an air purifying respirator is limited. Use it only for a single, short term exposure.
Increased protection is obtained from full facepiece powered air purifying respirators.
Correct respirator fit is essential to obtain adequate protection.
If vapour causes eye irritation or if an inhalation risk for higher exposures exists an approved air supplied breathing
apparatus (meeting the requirements of AS1715 and AS1716) operated in pressure demand or other positive
pressure mode should be used.
If while wearing a filter, cartridge or canister respirator, you can smell, taste, or otherwise detect the product, or in
the case of a full facepiece respirator you experience eye irritation, leave the area immediately.
Check to make sure the respirator to face seal is still good. If it is good, replace the filter, cartridge, or canister.
If the seal is no longer good, you may need a new respirator.
Be sure to consider all potential exposures in your workplace.
You may need a combination of filters, prefilters, cartridges, or canisters to protect against different forms of a
chemical (such as vapour and mist) or against a mixture of chemicals.
Exposure to 2,000 ppm is immediately dangerous to life and health.
Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 10 Of 17
MSDS –CARAVAN SEALER

If the possibility of exposures above 2,000 ppm exists, use a self contained breathing apparatus (meeting the
requirements of AS1715 and AS1716) with a full facepiece operated in continuous flow or other positive pressure
mode.
Where the concentration of vapour or mist is unknown or expected to approach or exceed the Worksafe Exposure
Standards limit, the following additional equipment is recommended
(1) Short elevated exposures, e.g. spillage - goggles and correct respiratory equipment should be worn. N.B. if the vapour/mist concentration exceeds the exposure limit by more than 10 times, air supplied apparatus should be used. (2) For prolonged elevated exposures - Full face air supplied or self contained breathing apparatus should be worn. SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION

TOLUENE
Oral
: 5,000 mg/kg - considered to be no more than slightly toxic : > 2,000 mg/kg - considered to be no more than slightly toxic : 8,000 ppm / 4 hours. Practically non- toxic. : 100 ppm Irritant (CNS recording changes, hallucinations) : Moderate irritant on prolonged or repeated contact. : Moderate irritant on prolonged or repeated contact. Evidence from animal tests is available to indicate that repeated or prolonged exposure to hydrocarbon solvents
could result in liver, kidney and central nervous disorders as well as anaemia and leucopenia (lowered white cell
count).
Aromatic hydrocarbons, such as Toluene, irritate the skin and mucous membranes and are narcotic if inhaled in
high concentrations.
The oral LD50 in the rat, suggests that Toluene would not be acutely toxic to terrestrial animals unless present in
very high concentrations.
CHLORINATED RUBBER RESIN
Oral

CHLORINATED PARAFFIN
TOXICITY
Oral
Chlorinated paraffins, as a group of chemicals, are not genotoxic. Their lack of genotoxic activity, together with the results of other studies, leads to the conclusion that chlorinated paraffins are unlikely to present a carcinogenic hazard to humans under normal conditions of handling and use. SPECIAL PROPERTIES / EFFECTS
Over-exposure, especially during spraying operations, without the necessary precautions entails the risk of
concentration-dependent irritating effects on eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract.
Delayed appearance of the complaints and development of hyper-sensitivity (difficult breathing, coughing, asthma)
are possible.
Hypersensitive persons may suffer from these effects even at low concentrations below the control limit.
GENETIC TOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY)
Toluene has been extensively tested in a variety of genotoxicity tests.
Toluene has been shown to be negative for gene mutations in bacteria, in yeast, and in the fruit fly.
Negative Ames test. Mouse lymphoma (L5178Y/TK ±) assay.
NEUROTOXICOLOGY (SUMMARY)
Available information indicate that Toluene adversely affects the central nervous system of humans (by inhalation)
and of laboratory animals (by oral and inhalation).
Nervous system effects including fatigue, muscular weakness, confusion, impaired coordination, slight exhilaration,
enlarged pupils and accommodation disturbances were reported in humans chronically exposed to 200-800 ppm
Toluene, 7-8 hours/day
Exposure to 100 ppm for 6 hours resulted in fatigue, sleepiness, decreased manual dexterity, decreased color

discrimination, and decreased accuracy in visual perception.
The concentration of 100 ppm is roughly equivalent to 40.39 mg/kg over the 6-hour period.
Prolonged abuse was reported to result in altered electroencephalogram, ataxia, tremors, CNS atrophy, and
impaired speech, hearing, and vision

DEVELOPMENTAL/REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY
Exposures to high levels of Toluene can result in adverse effects in the developing human foetus.
Several studies have indicated that high levels of Toluene can also adversely effect the developing offspring in
laboratory animals.
Teratogenic studies (rats): Negative at 100 ppm .
CARCINOGENICITY
There is inadequate evidence for the carcinogenicity of Toluene in both human and animal studies.
No evidence of skin carcinogenic activity in laboratory tests. 2 -year inhalation toxicity (rats): 300 ppm resulted in
tissue changes.
ACUTE TOXICITY
Humans exposed to intermediate to high levels of Toluene for short periods of time experience adverse central
nervous system effects ranging from headaches to intoxication, convulsions, narcosis, and death.
Similar effects are observed in short-term animal studies.
The ingestion of about 60 ml resulted in fatal nervous system depression within 30 minutes in one reported case.
Constriction and necrosis of myocardial fibres, markedly swollen liver, congestion and haemorrhage of the lungs
and acute tubular necrosis were found on autopsy.
Central nervous system effects (headaches, dizziness, intoxication) and eye irritation occurred following inhalation exposure to 100 ppm Toluene 6 hours/day for 4 days. Exposure to 600 ppm for 8 hours resulted in the same and more serious symptoms including euphoria, dilated pupils, Exposure to 10,000-30,000 ppm has been reported to cause narcosis and death Toluene can also strip the skin of lipids causing dermatitis The initial effects are instability and incoordination, lacrymation and sniffles (respiratory exposure), followed by
narcosis.
Animals die of respiratory failure from severe nervous system depression.
Cloudy swelling of the kidneys was reported in rats following inhalation exposure to 1600 ppm, 18-20 hours/day for
3 days
SUBCHRONIC / CHRONIC EFFECTS
Repeat doses of Toluene cause adverse central nervous system effects and can damage the upper respiratory
system, the liver, and the kidney.
Adverse effects occur as a result from both oral and the inhalation exposures.
Chronic occupational exposure and incidences of Toluene abuse have resulted in haepatomegaly and liver function
changes. It has also resulted in nephrotoxicity and, in one case, was a cardiac sensitizer and fatal cardiotoxin.
Neural and cerebellar dystrophy were reported in several cases of habitual "glue sniffing."
An epidemiological study in France on workers chronically exposed to Toluene fumes reported leucopoenia and
neutropenia.
In an inhalation study with Toluene, degeneration in the olfactory and respiratory epithelium of the nasal cavity was
observed in Fisher 344 rats exposed 6.5 hours/day, 5 days/week for 103 weeks to 600 ppm Toluene.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Studies in humans and animals have demonstrated that Toluene is readily absorbed via the lungs and the
gastrointestinal tract.
Absorption through the skin is estimated at about 1% of that absorbed by the lungs when exposed to Toluene
vapour.
Dermal absorption is expected to be higher upon exposure to the liquid; however, exposure is limited by the rapid
evaporation
In studies with mice exposed to radiolabeled Toluene by inhalation, high levels of radioactivity were present in body fat, bone marrow, spinal nerves, spinal cord, and brain white matter. Lower levels of radioactivity were present in blood, kidney, and liver. Valiant Environmental Compounds Pty. Ltd. Caravan Sealer Date of Issue 1/7/08 Revision 5 Page 15 Of 17

The metabolites of inhaled or ingested Toluene include benzyl alcohol resulting from the hydroxylation of the methyl group. Further oxidation results in the formation of benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. The latter is conjugated with glycine to yield hippuric acid or reacted with glucuronic acid to form benzoyl glucuronide. o-cresol and p-cresol formed by ring hydroxylation are considered minor metabolites Toluene is primarily (60-70%) excreted through the urine as hippuric acid. The excretion of benzoyl glucuronide accounts for 10-20%, and excretion of unchanged Toluene through the lungs also accounts for 10-20%. Excretion of hippuric acid is usually complete within 24 hours after exposure

WATER SOLUBILITY
The product is essentially insoluble in water.
Unlikely to have an ecotoxic or environmentally toxic effect.
DISTRIBUTION AND PERSISTENCE IN THE ENVIRONMENT
Toluene is a volatile liquid and is released into the atmosphere from industrial and consumer uses.
Most direct releases of Toluene to the environment are to air. Toluene evaporates when exposed to air.
Once in air, Toluene breaks down to other chemicals.
It dissolves only slightly when mixed with water.
About 99.5% of Toluene will eventually end up in air; the rest will end up in the water.
The main degradation pathway for Toluene in the atmosphere is reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl
radicals.
The estimated atmospheric half-life for Toluene is about 13 hours.
Toluene is also oxidized by reactions with atmospheric nitrogen dioxide, oxygen, and ozone, but these are minor
degradation
pathways. Photolysis is not considered a significant degradative pathway for Toluene

ABIOTIC EFFECTS
According to the definition provided in the U.S. Federal Register (1992), Toluene is a volatile organic compound
(VOC) substance.
As a VOC, Toluene can contribute to the formation of photochemical smog in the presence of other VOCs.
REACTIVITY / COMPATIBILITY
Hazardous reactions (Chlorinated paraffins/resin) : Can react with alkali metals and alkaline earth metals which
have a strong affinity for chlorine.
:Can react with iron, zinc and aluminium at high temperatures leading to decomposition.
Stability (Thermal, Light, etc.)
: Heat and hot surfaces, sparks, flame and build up of static electricity. Prolonged heating at temperatures in excess of 70 °C or heating above 200 °C for short periods of time will result in decomposition and liberation of hydrogen chloride. Incompatibility (materials to avoid for purpose of transport, handling & storage only) : Avoid contact with strong alkalis, mineral acids, halogens, strong oxidizers (liquid chlorine, bromine, fluorine, concentrated oxygen, sodium hypochlorite), chemically active metals, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium, since violent reactions can occur. Hazardous. Hazardous : No hazardous decomposition products when stored and handled : Carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide, toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride / Conditions To Avoid Hazardous Polymerization : Not Applicable
HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS OF MIXTURE :
The presence of < 0.10% of both Benzene and Carbon Tetrachloride in this product poses chronic toxic problems.
The most serious of the hazards is the gradual, undetectable destruction of various components of the blood-
forming organs.
This occurs as a consequence of prolonged or repeated inhalation of Benzene vapour at concentrations greater
than 10 ppm TLV.
If these excessive exposures continue and if diagnosis is delayed, death may occur.
Carbon Tetrachloride can damage the liver and kidneys enough to cause death.
