Not hazardous according to the criteria of Worksafe Australia.

This MSDS consists of 4 pages. Please contact your Redi-Brite representative for any additional copies.

A blend of severely solvent refined mineral oil, soap thickener, and proprietary performance additives together with synthetic abrasive particles.

No component is present at sufficient concentration to require a hazardous classification.

This material is not considered to be hazardous to health, but should be handled in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.

Please Note: High Pressure Applications

Injections through the skin resulting from contact with the product at high pressure constitute a major medical emergency.

See "Medical Advice" under First Aid Measures, Section 4 of this Material Safety Sheet.

Flood eyes with plenty of water for 20 minutes. If irritation occurs seek medical advice.

Remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation persists seek medical advice.

If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Seek medical advice.

Remove affected person from contaminated area and seek medical advice. If he/she is not breathing apply artificial respiration and seek urgent medical advice.

Treatment should in general be symptomatic and directed to relieving any effects.

Note: High Pressure Applications

Injections through the skin from contact with the product at high pressure constitute a major medical emergency. Injuries may not appear serious at first but within a few hours tissue becomes swollen, discoloured and extremely painful with extensive subcutaneous necrosis. Surgical exploration should be undertaken without delay. Thorough and extensive debridement of the wound and underlying tissue is necessary to reduce tissue loss and prevent or limit permanent damage. Note that high pressure may force the product considerable distances along the tissue planes.

Use foam, CO2 or powder.

FIRES IN CONFINED SPACES SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY TRAINED PERSONNEL WEARING APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS.

Water may be used to cool nearby heat exposed areas/objects/packages. Avoid spraying directly into storage containers because of the danger of boil-over.

Will not burn unless pre-heated. Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat.

See stability and Reactivity, Section 10 of this Material Safety Data Sheet.

Remove all sources of ignition and prevent further leakage if safe to do so. Scoop up excess material and place in suitable labeled sealed containers for disposal according to local and state authority regulations and guidelines. Clean the contaminated area with water and detergent. Do not allow this product to enter drains, sewers or water courses - inform the local authorities if this occurs.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid breathing vapours or mists. When exposure is likely, personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, PVC gloves, PVC apron and sleeves and PVC or rubber boots.

Where the concentration of vapour or mist is expected to approach the exposure limit, goggles and correct respiratory protection should be worn (Note: If the vapour/mist concentrations exceed the exposure limit by more than 10 times, air supplied apparatus should be worn). For prolonged elevated exposures a full face air supplied or self contained breathing apparatus should be worn.

If contamination occurs, change clothing and discard internally contaminated gloves and footwear. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.

Keep storage tanks, pipelines, fire exposed surfaces etc. cool with water spray. Shut off any leak if safe to do so and remove sources of re-ignition.

Store in a well ventilated area away from ignition sources, oxidizing agents foodstuffs and clothing. Keep containers closed when not in us.

Ensure good ventilation. Avoid, as far as reasonably practicable, inhalation of vapour, mists or fumes generated during use. If vapour, mists or fumes are generated, their concentration in the workplace air should be controlled to the lowest reasonably practicable level. Worksafe Australia recommends an exposure standard of 5 mg/m3 (oil mist) for an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA). Short term exposure limit (STEL) 10mg/m3 (oil mist).

Wear face visor or goggles in circumstances where eye contact can accidentally occur. Change heavily contaminated clothing as soon as reasonably practicable and launder before re-use. Wash any contaminated underlying skin with soap and water.

If skin contact is likely, wear impervious protective clothing and/or gloves.

Respiratory protection is unnecessary, provided the concentration of vapour, mists or fumes is adequately controlled.

The use of respiratory equipment must be strictly in accordance with the manufacturers’ requirements governing its selection and use.

Grades: H120, H180, H240, H320, H500, H700

Products of this type are stable and unlikely to react in a hazardous manner under normal conditions of use. Hazardous polymerisation reactions will not occur.

This material is combustible.

Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents foodstuffs, ignition sources and clothing.

Thermal decomposition can produce a variety of compounds, the precise nature of which will depend on the decomposition conditions.

Incomplete combustion/thermal decomposition will generate smoke, carbon dioxide and hazardous gases, which will include carbon monoxide.

Product may cause slight to moderate irritation to the eyes.

Mildly irritating to skin. Prolonged and repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis due to defatting effect.

Slightly toxic, may cause gastric irritation.

Inhalation of the vapours (generated at elevated temperatures) or mists can cause irritation to the nose and throat.

Spillages are unlikely to penetrate the soil.

The oily segment of the product is inherently biodegradable.

The abrasive grain particles suspended within are not biodegradable.

There is no evidence to suggest bioaccumulation will occur.

May be harmful to aquatic organisms. Oxygen transfer could also be impaired.

Dispose of via an authorised person/licensed waste disposal contractor in accordance with local regulations. Incineration may be carried out under controlled conditions provided that local regulations for emissions are met.

Dispose of product and container carefully and responsibly. Do not dispose of near ponds, ditches, down drains or onto soil.

Not classified as hazardous for transport (ADG, UN, IATA/ICAO).

Classified as a Combustible Liquid C2, AS 1940-1993

Not classified as a hazardous substance using the Workplace Australia criteria.

Not classified using the criteria in the Standard Uniform Schedule for Drugs and Poisons.
