Section 3: Composition/information on Ingredients
Substance or mixture: Mixture. Chemical nature: aqueous polyalkylene glycol/surfactant blend.
| Ingredient | CAS No. | Proportion (% w/w) | Ingredient classification (GHS Rev 7) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oxirane, methyl-, polymer with oxirane | 9003-11-6 | > 90 | Not classified |
| 3-(Polyoxyethylene)propylheptamethyltrisiloxane | 67674-67-3 | < 1 | Acute Toxicity (inhalation) Cat. 4 — H332 Serious Eye Damage Cat. 1 — H318 Hazardous to the aquatic environment, long-term Cat. 2 — H411 |
| Ingredients determined not to be hazardous | — | Balance | Not classified |
The classified ingredient is present below the generic concentration cut-off values in the GHS mixture classification rules, and the mixture as supplied is therefore not classified. No additional ingredients are present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and at the concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment or have been assigned a workplace exposure standard, and which therefore require disclosure in this section.
Section 4: First Aid Measures
4.1 Description of First Aid Measures
| Eye contact | Immediately flush the eyes with plenty of running water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs. |

| Engineering controls | Use in a well-ventilated area. Natural ventilation is normally adequate for routine handling. Where mists or aerosols may be generated, use local exhaust ventilation. Provide an eyewash station and safety shower close to the work area (AS 4775). |
|---|---|
| Eye and face protection | Wear safety eyewear complying with AS/NZS 1337.1 where a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes. |
| Hand protection | Wear chemical-resistant, impervious gloves selected and used in accordance with AS/NZS 2161.10.1 where a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Nitrile rubber (NBR) with a minimum thickness of 0.4 mm is recommended for prolonged or direct contact. Inspect gloves before use and replace when damaged or degraded. |
