Workplace Exposure Limits (WELs) please indicate n/a where not applicable Long-term exposure level (8hrTWA): Short-term exposure level (15 mins): Benzene 1ppm (Source EH/40 2005 (amendment 2007) N/A n-Hexane 20ppm N/A State the Risks to Health from Identified Hazards Skin Contact: Irritating to skin.

Eyes: Moderately irritating to eyes.

Inhalation: Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. Slightly irritating to respiratory system.

Ingestion: Harmful: may cause lung damage if swallowed.

Pre-existing medical conditions of the following organ(s) or organ system(s) may be aggravated by exposure to this material: Eyes, Skin, and Respiratory system. Possibility of organ or organ system damage from prolonged exposure. Target organ(s): Bloodforming organs. Peripheral nervous system. May cause heritable genetic damage. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. A component or components of this material may cause cancer. This product contains benzene which may cause leukaemia (AML - acute myelogenous leukaemia). May cause MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome).

Environment: Toxic to aquatic organisms; may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Ether oxygenates are significantly more water soluble and less biodegradable than benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes (BTEX). Consequently ether oxygenates have the potential to migrate relatively longer distances than BTEX in groundwater.

Control Measures: (for example extraction, ventilation, training, supervision). Take account of those substances that are produced from activities undertaken by another employer’s employees.

Eyes: Goggles or safety glasses with side shields must be used if possibilities of eye contact.

Skin: When using, wear wear impervious gloves/gauntlets.

Inhalation: Avoid breathing vapours or contact with material. Only use in well ventilated areas.

Ingestion: When using do not eat or drink. High standard of hygiene to be maintained.

Environmental: Contain residual material at affected sites to prevent material from entering drains (sewers), ditches, and waterways. Shut off leaks, if possible without personal risks. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Use appropriate containment (of product and fire fighting water) to avoid environmental contamination. Prevent from spreading or
