Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients
Ingredients CAS No Conc,% TWA (mg/m3) STEL (mg/m3)
Silica (non respirable, crystalline) 14808-60-7 10-30 0.1 not set
Calcium carbonate 1317-65-3 10-30 10 not set
Titanium dioxide 13463-67-7 5-15 10 not set
Other non hazardous ingredients various to 100 not set not set
Note that the crystalline silica in this product is larger than the respirable size which is regarded as harmful, and is
incorporated into a liquid product which prevents inhalation in normal use.
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous
ingredients are also possible.
The SWA 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

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 until the particles are
removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists, or if particles are lodged in surface of
the eye(s). 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: The major hazard in fires is usually inhalation of heated and toxic or oxygen deficient (or
both), fire gases. 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 product at temperatures normally achieved in a fire.
This will only occur after heating to dryness.
Fire decomposition products from this product are not expected to be hazardous or harmful.
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.
Flash point : Does not burn.
Upper Flammability Limit: Does not burn.
Lower Flammability Limit: Does not burn.
Autoignition temperature: Not applicable - does not burn.
Flammability Class: Does not burn.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Accidental release : This product is sold in small packages, and the accidental release from one of these is not usually a
cause for concern. For minor spills, clean up, rinsing to sewer and put empty container in garbage. Although no special
protective clothing is normally necessary because of occasional minor contact with this product, it is good practice to wear
impermeable gloves when handling chemical products. In the event of a major spill, prevent spillage from entering drains or
water courses and call emergency services.
