Odour: Ether-like odour Major Health Hazards: May cause cancer, harmful if swallowed. Potential Health Effects Inhalation: Short Term Exposure: Available data indicates that this product is not harmful. However product may be mildly irritating,
although unlikely to cause anything more than mild transient discomfort. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating
and inhaling contents of aerosol containers can be harmful or fatal. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term inhalation. Skin Contact: Short Term Exposure: Major health effect from this product is misuse of the aerosol function. If sprayed continuously
on skin or in eyes, it can cause frostbite. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term skin exposure. Eye Contact: Short Term Exposure: Available data shows that this product is not harmful. If sprayed directly in the eye, this product
will irritate. If spraying is prolonged, it may cause damage through frostbite. Long Term Exposure: No data for health effects associated with long term eye exposure. Ingestion: Short Term Exposure: Significant oral exposure is considered to be unlikely. Available data shows that this product is
harmful, but symptoms are not available. However, this product is believed to be mildly irritating to mucous membranes

Section 3 - Composition/Information on Ingredients Ingredients TWA (mg/m3) STEL (mg/m3)
This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non hazardous
The ASCC TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a
5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that may be equalled (but should not be exceeded) for no longer than
15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL.
The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance, should never be exceeded, even briefly. Section 4 - First Aid Measures Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting and refer for medical attention. If he vomits, at least lay his head on his side. In case
of unconsciouness, lay him down on his head on his side for stand-by and carriage. Eye: Wash the eye with a large amount of clean water immediately for over 15 minutes. To make it effective, widen the
eyelid with fingers and move the eyeball to all the directions. Even if it hurts, do not rub. See an ophthalmologist as soon
Skin: Wash the attached portion of the body with water. Take off the clothes, the shoes and the socks immediately and
keep them away if the liquid attaches to them. Inhaled: Move the patient to a place with good ventilation. Lower the head, lay him on his side and warm him. If he loses
consciousness, remove foreign matters in the mouth to prevent them from blosking the throat. If he ceases to breathe,
immediately resort to the artificial respiration and refer for medical attention. Advice to Doctor: Treat according symptoms. Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media: Fire-fighters should wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus. Fire
does not occur as it does not have spontaneous combustibility. However, toxic gases such as hydrogen chloride, phosgene,
carbon monoxide, chlorine gas and etc. are generated when the fire occurs under the special conditions. Use carbon dioxide,
dry chemical powder and foam. Hazards from Combustion Products: Nonflammable under normal condition and no danger of flash or explosion.
However, it flashes and explodes with toxic gas caused by decomposition if there is an ignition source of high energy and
it is composed by the gas of high concentration of oxygen. Special protective precautions and equipment for fire fighters: No Data Available Flammability Conditions: Non flammable. Additional Information: Hazchem Code : 2[Z] Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Emergency procedures: Take necessary measures with protectors on without fail. When the liquid flows from the broken
drum or oilcan. Place it with the broken part upside and move it outside with good ventilation. Then empty them into container. Methods and materials for containment and clean up: Wipe off with waste clothes immediately. Absorb the liquid
with flew out with activated carbon or dry sand to prevent it penetrating into sewers. Waterourses or underground at the
same time not to wash away into the public water area. Section 7 - Handling and Storage Precautions for safe handling: Ensure an eye bath and safety shower are available and ready for use. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibles: Ventilate the working place adequately and remove
the exhaust gas as much as possible with activated carbon and etc. Vapor is decomposed with generation of toxic gases
such as chlorine, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, phosgene under the exposure to the high temperature such as
naked fire, broiling substances and etc. So avoid to contact the vapor with such high temperatured substances. Do not
generate the vapor unnecessarily to avoid leakage, flood and scattering. Put on the applicable protector according to the
situation for handling the liquid. When storing in containers such as drum, oilcan, it is desirable to store them in such place
as to be able to shut out rain and direct sunlight with good ventilation. When storing outdoors, take some measures such
as covering and roofing the container. When storing indoors, install the applicable exhauster and keep it under the controled
temperature. Protect the floor to aboid the percolation into the public water and sewerage, and the penetration into the
underground in case of leakage by any chance. Poisons Information Centre: 13 11 26 from anywhere in Australia, (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) Product Name: INOX-mx11 Chain & Brake Clean

Salmonella, slight positive in the rat embryo. Health Effects - Acute Swallowed: The vapour has narcotic effect and causes the liver and the kidney lesion. The symptom of stimulating
gastrointestinal tract such as feelingness of sick, vomit and diarrhea with hemafecia at the initial stage. Eye: The eye is stimulated in contact with the liquid. It causes inflammation of the eyewith tears and burning pain. Skin: The contact of the liquid to the skin causes only light stimulation but the repetitive and long-term contact to the skin
causes only light stimulation but the repetitive and long-term contact to the skin removes the skin fat and causes dermatitis. Inhaled: The inhalation of a large amount of vapor in a short time causes acute toxicity. The initial symptoms starts with
the stimulative feeling to the eye, the nose and the throat, followed by headache, dizziness, stupefaction, feelingness of
sick and vomit. The patient may lose consciousness and fall down. Poisons Information Centre: 13 11 26 from anywhere in Australia, (0800 764 766 in New Zealand) Product Name: INOX-mx11 Chain & Brake Clean

Classification of Hazardous Ingredients Section 12 - Ecological Information
Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects to the aquatic environment. Chlorinated solvents have a
relatively short life-time in the atmosphere. Perchloroethylene and trichloroethylene display very slow biodegradation and
responsible end-users will be very careful to avoid spillages. Section 13 - Disposal Considerations Disposal: There are many pieces of legislation covering waste disposal and they differ in each state and territory, so each
user must refer to laws operating in their area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked. The Hierarchy of Controls
seems to be common - the user should investigate: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle and only if all else fails should disposal
be considered. Note that properties of a product may change in use, so that the following suggestions may not always be
appropriate. The following may help you in properly addressing this matter for this product. This product may be recycled
if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been contaminated, it
may be possible to reclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. If neither of these options is suitable,
consider controlled incineration, or landfill.
