| Other hazards | None known. |
| In case of eye contact | Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Get medical attention immediately. |
| In case of skin contact | Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Use a mild soap if available. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention immediately. |
| If swallowed | Contact the Poison's Information Centre (eg Australia 13 1126; New Zealand 0800 764 766). Rinse mouth with water. Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical attention immediately. |
| If inhaled | Remove to fresh air. Treat symptomatically. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. |

Mobility
The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program
interface) Suite TM, provided by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total
input and output. The level III model does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information
provided is intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the
defined conditions of the models.
If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil/sediment in the
approximate respective percentages;
Air : 5%
Water : 30 - 50%
Soil : 50 - 70%
The portion in water is expected to be soluble or dispersible.
