3. Hazards identification
Comment : Acetic acid is formed during curing on exposure to water or humid
air.
Provide adequate ventilation to control exposures to within the exposure
guideline of 10ppm (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.
Inhalation: Vapour overexposure may irritate eyes, nose and throat.
Oral: Small amounts transferred to the mouth by fingers during use should
not injure.
Swallowing large amounts may cause digestive discomfort.
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.

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. Seek medical
attention.
Ingestion: No first aid should be needed.
5. Fire-fighting measures

.
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 wind 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. Store in

by the NOHSC Acetic evolved when curing or
exposed to water or humidity - OSHA Pel: TWA 10ppm, STEL 15ppm.
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.
