Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. The liquid is highly discomforting and may be harmful if swallowed. Ingestion may result in nausea, abdominal irritation, pain and vomiting.

EYE The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary impairment of vision and / or transient eye inflammation, ulceration. The vapour is discomforting to the eyes if exposure is prolonged. The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.

SKIN The material is moderately discomforting and adhesive to the skin if contact is prolonged and may cause drying of the skin and may rarely cause skin sensitisation. Toxic effects may result from skin absorption. The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition. Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material. The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic). This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may progress to vesiculation, scaling and thickening of the epidermis. Histologically there may be intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.

INHALED The vapour is discomforting to the upper respiratory tract if inhaled. Inhalation hazard is increased at higher temperatures. Inhalation of vapour may result in nausea, headache. If exposure to highly concentrated solvent atmosphere is prolonged this may lead to narcosis, unconsciousness, even coma and possible death.

CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS Principal routes of exposure are usually by skin contact with the material and inhalation of vapour. Prolonged or continuous skin contact with the liquid may cause defatting with drying, cracking, irritation and dermatitis following. As with any chemical product, contact with unprotected bare skin; inhalation of vapour, mist or dust in work place atmosphere; or ingestion in any form, should be avoided by observing good occupational work practice. Sensitisation may result in allergic dermatitis responses including rash, itching, hives or swelling of extremities. Rosin has caused contact allergic dermatitis after use in adhesive tapes.

FIRST AID

SWALLOWED Rinse mouth out with plenty of water. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. In Australia phone 13 1126; New Zealand 03 4747000. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water.

EYE If this product comes in contact with the eyes: 1: Immediately hold the eyes open and wash continuously for at least 15 minutes with fresh running water. 2: Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids. 3: Transport to hospital or doctor without delay. 4: Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.

SKIN If 1: 2: 3:

product comes in contact with the skin: Remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear Remove adhering sticky material using a waterless hand cleaner Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water, repeating as required . 4: In event of visible or subsequent irritation seek medical attention.

INHALED 1: If fumes or combustion products are inhaled: Remove to fresh air. 2: Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. 3: Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures 4: If breathing is shallow or has stopped, ensure clear airway and apply resuscitation, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. 5: Transport to hospital, or doctor.

ADVICE TO DOCTOR For acute or short term repeated exposures to isopropanol: 1.Rapid onset respiratory depression and hypotension indicates serious ingestions that require careful cardiac and respiratory monitoring together with immediate intravenous access. 2.Rapid absorption precludes the usefulness of emesis or lavage 2 hours post-ingestion. Activated charcoal and cathartics are not clinically useful. Ipecac is most useful when given 30 mins. post-ingestion. 3.There are no antidotes. 4.Management is supportive. Treat hypotension with fluids followed by vasopressors. 5.Watch closely, within the first few hours for respiratory depression;

follow arterial blood gases and tidal volumes. 6.Ice water lavage and serial haemoglobin levels are indicated for those patients with evidence of gastrointestinal bleeding.

TLV TWA: 400 ppm, 983 mg/m3; STEL: 500 ppm, 1230 mg/m3 NOTICE OF INTENDED CHANGE TLV TWA 200 ppm, 491 mg/m3; STEL: 400 ppm, 984 mg/m3 A4 NOTE: This substance has been proposed by the ACGIH as A4 NOT classifiable as causing Cancer in humans. ES TWA: 400 ppm, 980 mg/m3; STEL: 500 ppm, 1225 mg/m3 (Under review) OES TWA: 400 ppm, 999 mg/m3; STEL: 500 ppm, 1250 mg/m3 MAK value: 200 ppm, 490 mg/m3 MAK Category II Peak Limitation: For substances with systemic effects and with a half-life in humans of less than two hours. Allows excursions of 2 times the MAK value, for 30 minutes (on average), four times per shift. MAK Group C: There is no reason to fear risk of damage to the developing embryo when MAK and BAT values are observed. MAK values, and categories and groups are those recommended within the Federal Republic of Germany. IDLH Level: 2000 ppm (lower explosive limit) Odour Threshold Value: 3.3 ppm (detection), 7.6 ppm (recognition) Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought to minimise the potential for inducing narcotic effects or significant irritation of the eyes or upper respiratory tract. It is believed, in the absence of hard evidence, that this limit also provides protection against the development of chronic health effects. The limit is intermediate to that set for ethanol, which is less toxic, and n-propyl alcohol, which is more toxic, than isopropanol. talc containing no asbestos fibre and
