4. FIRST AID MEASURES
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia 131 126, New
Zealand 0800 764 766).
Inhalation: Remove victim from exposure - avoid becoming a casualty. Remove contaminated
clothing and loosen remaining clothing. Allow patient to assume most comfortable position and
keep warm. Keep at rest until fully recovered. If breathing laboured and patient cyanotic (blue),
ensure airways are clear and have a qualified person give oxygen through a facemask. If breathing
has stopped apply artificial respiration at once. In the event of cardiac arrest, apply external
cardiac massage. Seek immediate medical advice.
Skin Contact: This material, or a component of the material, can be absorbed through the skin with
resultant toxic effects. If skin or hair contact occurs, immediately remove contaminated clothing
and flush skin and hair with running water. Continue flushing with water until advised to stop by
the Poisons Information Centre or a Doctor; or for 15 minutes and transport to Doctor or Hospital.
For gross contamination, immediately
drench with water and remove clothing. Continue to flush skin and hair with plenty of water (and
soap if material is insoluble). For skin burns, cover with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is
available. If blistering occurs, do NOT break blisters. If swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation
occurs seek medical assistance.
Eye contact: If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush the eyes continuously with running water.
Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a Doctor; or for at least
15 minutes and transport to Doctor or Hospital.
Ingestion: Immediately rinse mouth with water. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass
of water to drink. Never give anything by the mouth to an unconscious patient. If vomiting occurs
give further water.
Immediately call Poisons Centre or Doctor.
PPE for First Aiders: Wear rubber boots, overalls, gloves, safety glasses, respirator. Use with
adequate ventilation. If inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting
the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Available information suggests that gloves
made from neoprene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) should be suitable for intermittent contact.
However, due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user should make a final
assessment. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash
contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Product Name: Lacquer Thinner
Issued: 2021-08-24 Version: 1.0 Page 3 of 14
Safety Data Sheet
Hazchem Code: •3YE
Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use alcohol resistant foam or dry agent
(carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
Specific hazards: Highly flammable liquid and vapour. May form flammable vapour mixtures with
air. Flameproof equipment necessary in area where this chemical is being used. Nearby equipment
must be earthed. Electrical requirements for work area should be assessed according to AS3000.
Vapour may travel a considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. Avoid all ignition
sources. All potential sources of
Product Name: Lacquer Thinner
Issued: 2021-08-24 Version: 1.0 Page 4 of 14
Safety Data Sheet
ignition (open flames, pilot lights, furnaces, spark producing switches and electrical equipment etc)
must be eliminated both in and near the work area. Do NOT smoke.
Fire fighting further advice: Heating can cause expansion or decomposition leading to violent rupture
of containers. If safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire. Keep containers cool with
water spray. On burning or decomposing may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-
contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or
products of combustion or decomposition.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SMALL SPILLS
Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of vapours or
dust. Wipe up with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). Collect and seal in properly labelled
containers or drums for disposal.
LARGE SPILLS
If safe to do so, shut off all possible sources of ignition. Clear area of all unprotected personnel.
Slippery when spilt. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent
skin and eye contamination and the inhalation of vapours. Work up wind or increase ventilation.
Contain - prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand or other inert
material). Use a spark-free shovel. Collect and seal in properly labelled containers or drums for
disposal. If contamination of crops, sewers or waterways has occurred advise local emergency
services.
Dangerous Goods - Initial Emergency Response Guide No: 14
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from
foodstuffs. Store away from incompatible materials described in Section 10. Store away from
sources of heat and/or ignition.

Safety Data Sheet
WES-TWA (Workplace Exposure Standard - Time-weighted average). The average airborne
concentration of a substance calculated over an eight-hour working day.
WES-Ceiling (Workplace Exposure Standard - Ceiling). A concentration that should not be exceeded
at any time during any part of the working day.
Product Name: Lacquer Thinner
Issued: 2021-08-24 Version: 1.0 Page 6 of 14
Safety Data Sheet
WES-STEL (Workplace Exposure Standard - Short-term exposure limit). The 15-minute time
weighted average exposure standard. Applies to any 15-minute period in the working day and is
designed to protect the worker against adverse effects of irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue
change, or narcosis that may increase the likelihood of accidents. The WES-STEL is not an
alternative to the WES-TWA; both the short-term and time- weighted average exposures apply.
Exposures at concentrations between the WES-TWA and the WES-STEL should be less than 15
minutes, should occur no more than four times per day, and there should be at least 60 minutes
between successive exposures in this range.
(skin) - Skin absorption. Skin absorption–applicable to a substance that is capable of being
significantly absorbed into the body through contact with the skin.
(bio) - Exposure can also be estimated by biological monitoring.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All
atmospheric contamination should be kept too as low a level as is workable. These exposure
standards should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of
chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
If the directions for use on the product label are followed, exposure of individuals using the product
should not exceed the above standard. The standard was created for workers who are routinely,
potentially exposed during product manufacture.
Biological Limit Values: As per the WorkSafe New Zealand the ingredients in this material do
not have a Biological Limit Allocated.
Engineering Measures: Ensure ventilation is adequate to maintain air concentrations below
Exposure Standards. Use only in well ventilated areas. Use with local exhaust ventilation or while
wearing appropriate respirator.
Personal Protection Equipment: RUBBER BOOTS, OVERALLS, GLOVES, SAFETY GLASSES,
RESPIRATOR.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) must be suitable for the nature of the work and any hazard
associated with the work as identified by the risk assessment conducted.
Wear rubber boots, overalls, gloves, safety glasses, respirator. Use with adequate ventilation. If
inhalation risk exists wear organic vapour/particulate respirator meeting the requirements of
AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716. Available information suggests that gloves made from neoprene,
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) should be suitable for intermittent contact. However, due to variations in
glove construction and local conditions, the user should make a final assessment. Always wash
hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other
protective equipment before storing or re-using.
Hygiene measures: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. When using do not eat,
drink or smoke. Wash hands prior to eating, drinking or smoking. Avoid contact with clothing. Avoid
eye contact and skin contact. Avoid inhalation of vapour, mist or aerosols. Ensure that eyewash
stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
