- If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.
- If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to
maintain open airway and prevent aspiration.
- Observe the patient carefully.
- Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming
unconscious.
- Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
- Seek medical advice.
EYE
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
- Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
- Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by
occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
- Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
- Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
SKIN
If skin contact occurs:
- Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
- Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
- Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
INHALED

Section 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

- Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask
device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
- Transport to hospital, or doctor.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN
For acute or short term repeated exposures to petroleum distillates or related hydrocarbons:
- Primary threat to life, from pure petroleum distillate ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.
- Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea,
intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen. Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor
arterial blood gases (pO2 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.
- Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of
myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous lines and cardiac monitors should be established in
obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves
clearance.
- A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document
aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
- Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because of potential myocardial
sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the
preferred agents, with aminophylline a second choice.
- Lavage is indicated in patients who require decontamination; ensure use of cuffed endotracheal tube in
adult patients. [Ellenhorn and Barceloux: Medical Toxicology].
Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Do not use a water jet to fight fire.
FIRE FIGHTING
- Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
- May be violently or explosively reactive.
- Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
- Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water course.
- If safe, switch off electrical equipment until vapour fire hazard removed.
- Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
- Avoid spraying water onto liquid pools.
- DO NOT approach containers suspected to be hot.
- Cool fire exposed containers with water spray from a protected location.
- If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.
When any large container (including road and rail tankers) is involved in a fire,
consider evacuation by 500 metres in all directions.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
- Liquid and vapour are flammable.
- Moderate fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
- Vapour forms an explosive mixture with air.
- Moderate explosion hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
- Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition.
- Heating may cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture of containers.
- On combustion, may emit toxic fumes of carbon monoxide (CO).
Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), other pyrolysis products typical of
burning organic material.
FIRE INCOMPATIBILITY
- Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool
chlorine etc. as ignition may result.

Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

- Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.

- Work clothes should be laundered separately.
- Use good occupational work practice.
- Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
- Atmosphere should be regularly checked against established exposure standards to ensure safe working
conditions.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
- Packing as supplied by manufacturer.
- Plastic containers may only be used if approved for flammable liquid.
- Check that containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
- For low viscosity materials (i) : Drums and jerry cans must be of the non-removable head type. (ii) : Where
a can is to be used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure.
- For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C)
- For manufactured product having a viscosity of at least 250 cSt. (23 deg. C)
- Manufactured product that requires stirring before use and having a viscosity of at least 20 cSt (25 deg. C)
(i) : Removable head packaging;
(ii) : Cans with friction closures and
(iii) : low pressure tubes and cartridges may be used.
- Where combination packages are used, and the inner packages are of glass, there must be sufficient inert
cushioning material in contact with inner and outer packages
- In addition, where inner packagings are glass and contain liquids of packing group I there must be
sufficient inert absorbent to absorb any spillage, unless the outer packaging is a close fitting moulded
plastic box and the substances are not incompatible with the plastic.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
WARNING:
May decompose violently or explosively on contact with other substances.
- This substance, or one of its components, is one of the relatively few compounds which are described as
"endothermic" i.e. heat is absorbed into the compound, rather than released from it, during its formation.
- The majority of endothermic compounds are thermodynamically unstable and may decompose explosively under
various circumstances of initiation.
- Many but not all endothermic compounds have been involved in decompositions, reactions and explosions and,
in general, compounds with significantly positive values of standard heats of formation, may be considered
suspect on stability grounds.
BRETHERICK L.: Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards.
- Avoid reaction with oxidising agents.
Vinyl toluene polymerises explosively unless inhibited with, typically, 10-50 ppm tert-butylcatechol
reacts violently with strong oxidisers, strong acids, peroxides
is incompatible with aluminium chloride, ammonia, aliphatic amines, alkanolamides, caustics, metal salts
uninhibited monomer may block vents and confined spaces by forming a solid polymeric material
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
- Store in original containers in approved flammable liquid storage area.
- Store away from incompatible materials in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
- DO NOT store in pits, depressions, basements or areas where vapours may be trapped.
- No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources.
- Storage areas should be clearly identified, well illuminated, clear of obstruction and accessible only to
trained and authorised personnel - adequate security must be provided so that unauthorised personnel do not
have access.
- Store according to applicable regulations for flammable materials for storage tanks, containers, piping,
buildings, rooms, cabinets, allowable quantities and minimum storage distances.
- Use non-sparking ventilation systems, approved explosion proof equipment and intrinsically safe electrical
systems.
- Have appropriate extinguishing capability in storage area (e.g. portable fire extinguishers - dry chemical,
foam or carbon dioxide) and flammable gas detectors.
- Keep adsorbents for leaks and spills readily available.
- Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.

DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:
For benzoyl peroxide:
The recommendation for the TLV-TWA is based on the absence of subjective symptoms of irritation of the
nose and throat in humans exposed to 5.25 mg/m3. Whether this is sufficiently low to prevent cumulative
effects in man is not known.
CHEMSET 101 PLUS:
as vinyl toluene
IDLH Level: 5000 ppm
The toxicological properties of vinyltoluene are similar to those of styrene and
the TLV- TWA and STEL are analogous. The limits are thought to be protective
against mucous membrane and ocular irritation and should reduce the complaints
of objectionable odour. Given that axonal degeneration found in rats inhaling
vinyltoluene is more significant than in rats inhaling comparable concentrations
of styrene, and that neurological changes are more prominent, the limits are the
subject of review.
Human subjects show ocular and upper respiratory tract irritation at 400 ppm, complain of a strong
objectionable odour at 300 ppm and a strong but tolerable odour at 200 ppm.. At 50 ppm, the odour is
detectable and may become disagreeable, but does not produce irritation of the mucous membranes.
2-ETHYLHEXYLBENZOATE:
No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each
workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals
in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their
removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye
irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first
signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have
washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent].
HANDS/FEET
- Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
- Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
NOTE:
- The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing
gloves and other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
- Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- PVC Apron.
- PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe.
- Eyewash unit.
- Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
- Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are not recommended as
they may produce static electricity.
- For large scale or continuous use wear tight-weave non-static clothing (no metallic fasteners, cuffs or
pockets), non sparking safety footwear.
RESPIRATOR
Type A-P Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national
equivalent)
The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine the type of personal protective
equipment required. For further information consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your
Occupational Health and Safety Advisor.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Welldesigned engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent
of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker
and ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove
or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the
particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.
For flammable liquids and flammable gases, local exhaust ventilation or a process enclosure ventilation
system may be required. Ventilation equipment should be explosion-resistant.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
EYE
There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
SKIN
There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some
persons.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury
with harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage
is suitably protected.
INHALED
Inhalation of vapours or aerosols (mists, fumes), generated by the material during the course of normal
handling, may be damaging to the health of the individual.
There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The
body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
The use of a quantity of material in an unventilated or confined space may result in increased exposure and
an irritating atmosphere developing. Before starting consider control of exposure by mechanical ventilation.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to
the general population.
There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is not enough data to

make an assessment.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or longterm occupational exposure.
There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some
persons compared to the general population.
Based on experience with animal studies, there is a possibility that exposure to the material may result in
toxic effects to the development of the foetus, at levels which do not cause significant toxic effects to the
mother.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with benzoyl peroxide may result in allergic skin reactions even at
diluted concentrations. Ingestion results in abdominal pain, low body oxygen and severe depression. Chronic
effects of exposure include allergic reactions characterised by redness, itching, oozing, crusting, and
scaling of the skin and asthmatic wheezing. Although it does not exhibit complete carcinogenic or tumourinitiating activity, it has been associated with certain tumours of like papillomas and squamous cell
carcinomas.
There is inadequate evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of vinyl toluene. There is evidence suggesting
lack of carcinogenicity of vinyl toluene in experimental animals.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.
2-ETHYLHEXYLBENZOATE:
CHEMSET 101 PLUS:
No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.
DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:
CHEMSET 101 PLUS:
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's
oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the
delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune
reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential:
the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally important. A weakly
sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with stronger
sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances
are noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.

DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:
TOXICITY
IRRITATION
Oral (rat) LD50: 7710 mg/kg
Eye (rabbit): 500 mg/24h - Mild
Inhalation (human) TCLo: 12 mg/m
Skin effects (MAK): very weak
Subcutaneous (Rat) LD: 40 mg/kg (@ 50%)
Intraperitoneal (Mouse) LD50: 440 mg/kg
Intravenous (Rabbit) LD: 16 mg/kg
The material may be irritating to the eye, with prolonged contact causing inflammation. Repeated or
prolonged exposure to irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin
redness, swelling, the production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin.
Benzoyl peroxide may cause double vision, breathing problems, excess saliva and tear formation, redness of
the skin and changes in motor activity. It did not produce blood or biochemical adverse effects, gene
mutation or evidence of cancer. Repeated oral administration may result in decreased weights of testes and
the newborn.
The substance is classified by IARC as Group 3:
NOT classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.
Evidence of carcinogenicity may be inadequate or limited in animal testing.

2-ETHYLHEXYLBENZOATE:
DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:
DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways.
DIBENZOYL PEROXIDE:
For benzoyl peroxide:
Benzoyl peroxide has a melting point of 104 -106 C, vapor pre ssure of 0.00929 Pa, solubility of 9.1 mg/L in
water at 25 C, and log Pow of 3.43 at 25 C.
Environmental Fate: For indirect photolysis in the atmosphere, the half-life is estimated to be 3 days. The
substance is readily biodegradable and hydrolyses rapidly in water. The main hydrolysis product of benzoyl
peroxide is benzoic acid. The estimated BCF of 92 suggests that the chemical has a low potential for
bioaccumulation. Benzoyl peroxide is most likely to partition to water, where it will remain.
Ecotoxicity: Green algae (Selenastrum capricornutum) EbC50 (72 h): 0.07 mg/L (biomass) and 0.44 mg/L (growth
rate).
Daphnia magna: EC50 (48 h):
0.07 mg/L.
Fish LC50 (96 h): Oryzias latipes 0.24 mg/L.
Microorganism (activated sludge):EC50 (30 min): 35 mg/L
The toxicity observed is assumed to be due to benzoyl peroxide rather than benzoic acid, which shows much
lower toxicity to aquatic organisms. One can assume that effects occur before hydrolysis takes place.
2-ETHYLHEXYLBENZOATE:
Very toxic to aquatic organisms.
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
