3. Hazards identification
Comment : Methyl Ethyl Ketoxime is formed upon contact with water or moisture in the air. Provide adequate ventilation to control exposures to within the exposure guideline of 2ppm (TWA).

Eye Contact: Direct contact irritates slightly with redness and swelling

Skin Contact: A single short exposure (<24 hours) may irritate. Repeated prolonged contact (24 - 48 hours) may irritate moderately. Possible skin sensitisers with some individuals.

Inhalation: Vapour overexposure may cause drowsiness, injure blood, liver and irritate eyes, nose and throat.

Oral: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use should not injure. Swallowing large amounts may injure slightly.

Poisons Schedule: None Allocated

4. First-aid measures

For advice, contact a Poisons Information Centre (Phone eg. Australia 131 126; New Zealand 0 800 764766) or a doctor.

Skin: Remove from skin and immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation or ill effects develop or persist.

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air. Seek medical attention if ill effects persists.

Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.

Ingestion: Seek medical attention.

Note to physician: Treat symptomatically. Effects may be delayed.

5. Fire-fighting measures

Specific Hazards: Combustible paste

Fire Fighting Advice: Combustible but under normal conditions of use is not considered a risk.

Extinguishing Media: Water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), Carbon Dioxide, (CO2), Dry Chemical, Foam

Fire-fighting equipment: Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion.

6. Accidental release measures

SMALL SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Clean up immediately. Wipe up with rag or absorbent paper. Any residual can be cleaned up with mineral turpentine or similar hydrocarbon solvent, or acetone based nail polish remover. Cured material can be removed by cutting or abrasion.
LARGE SPILLS: Slippery when spilt. Clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contact. Avoid breathing in vapours. Work up win or increase ventilation. Scrape up excess material before cure. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for disposal. Cured material can only be removed by cutting or abrasion.

7. Handling and storage

Handling Advice: Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapour.

Storage Requirements: Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leeks. Store in clean, dry locations away from excessive heat
8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific material by the NOHSC

Engineering Control Measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below any quoted Exposure Levels. Use in well ventilated areas. Keep containers closed when not in use.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Respiratory Protection: Wear organic vapour respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.

Ventilation: Use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust is recommended. Mechanical exhaust can be used as a back up system.

Protective Gloves: Chemical resistant gloves such as PVC

Eye Protection: Approved safety glasses or goggles with side shields

Protective Clothing: Heavy cotton or polypropylene coats.

Comments: Wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet
