1 DUPONT ACANTO FUNGICIDE 1. PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Material Identification ACANTO Product description Picoxystrobin fungicide Recommended use For the control of a wide range of diseases in Wheat and Barley. Company details DuPont (New Zealand) Limited Central Park Corporate Centre Level 2, Building Great South Road Greenlane, Auckland 1051 Telephone (09) Fax (09) hour Emergency phone Date of issue May HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION HSNO Classification Hazards 9.1A (very toxic to aquatic organisms), 9.2B (toxic to the soil environment) WARNING KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Ingredient CAS No. Proportion Picoxystrobin % Propane-1,2-diol <10% (Propylene glycol) Inert Ingredients to 100% 4. FIRST AID MEASURES First Aid measures: Inhalation Skin Contact For advice contact the National Poisons Centre on 0800 POISON ( ) or a doctor immediately. Begin artificial respiration if the victim is not breathing. Use mouth to nose rather than mouth to mouth. Obtain medical attention. If inhaled move the victim to fresh air immediately. If skin contact occurs remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas thoroughly with running water. DuPont (New Zealand) Limited Page 1 of 7

2 Eye Contact Ingestion Poisoning symptoms: Workplace facilities: Hygiene Practices: Notes for Medical Personnel: If concentrate or spray solution enters the eyes wash it out immediately with water. Remove contact lenses. If swallowed DO NOT induce vomiting. No case of human poisoning due to this product is on record. The poisoning symptoms observed for laboratory mammals were nonspecific. No specific facilities required. Standard emergency equipment must be available. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of concentrate or spray mist. When mixing or applying, wear protective clothing, including face shield, impervious gloves and footwear. If clothing becomes contaminated with product, remove clothing immediately. DO NOT eat, drink or smoke while using. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water before meals and after work. Wash protective clothing daily after work. No specific antidote is available. If poisoning is suspected apply symptomatic therapy. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties Extinguishing Media Fire Fighting Instructions Hazchem code Combustion products are toxic and or irritant. Measures have to be taken to prevent the contaminated extinguishing agent from seeping into the ground or from spreading uncontrollably. Extinguish warehouse and factory fires using dry chemical extinguisher, foam, carbon dioxide or fine-water spray. DO NOT use direct jet of water. Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear full protective equipment. Runoff from fire control may be a pollution hazard. If the area is exposed to fire and conditions permit, let fire burn itself out. Burning chemicals may produce by-products more toxic than the original material. 3Z 6. ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MEASURES Spill precautions Spill containment (1) Keep all bystanders away. (2) Wear goggles, half face-piece respirator with combined dust and vapour cartridge, full length clothing and PVC gloves. (3) Reposition any leaking containers so as to minimise further leakage. (4) Dam and absorb spill with an absorbent material (e.g. sand or soil). (5) Shovel the absorbed spill into drums. (6) Decontaminate the spill area with detergent and water and rinse with the smallest volume of water practicable. Washings must be prevented from entering surface water drains or waterways.

3 Spill clean-up Disposal of the absorbed material will depend upon the extent of the spill. Contaminated material must be disposed of in accordance with all local authority requirements. It is suggested: For quantities up to 50 litres of product bury in a secure approved landfill site. For quantities greater than 50 litres seek advice from the manufacturer (use emergency contact number below) before attempting disposal. Contain in a secure location until disposal method is established. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Storage No special technical protective measures required. No special handling advice required. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and inhalation of concentrate or spray mist. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash face and hands before eating, drinking or smoking. Approved Handlers required at time of use. Keep out of reach of children. Keep in original containers and tightly closed. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and protect from sunlight. Avoid temperatures below -5 C or above 35 C. Signage and secondary containment will be required at sites holding 100 litres or more of any product classified as 9.1A (eg ACANTO). Store in original container, tightly closed, away from foodstuffs. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONNAL PROTECTION ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS Workplace Exposure Standards: Propane-1,2-diol (Propylene Glycol) Total (vapour and particulates) 8 hr TWA 150 ppm 470 mg/m 3 Particulates 8 hr TWA 10 mg/m 3 Picoxystrobin 8 hr TWA 3 mg/m 3 Application in the workplace: Not required DuPont (New Zealand) Limited Page 3 of 7

4 Exposure standards outside the workplace: Engineering controls: Picoxystrobin: EEL water = 0.8 μg/l EEL soil sediment = 1 μg/l No special requirements. Product is used outdoors. Containment and/or segregation is the most reliable technical protection measure if exposure cannot be eliminated. The extent of these protection measures depends on the actual risks in use. If airborne mists or vapours are generated, use local exhaust ventilation controls. Assess exposure and use any additional measures to keep airborne levels below any relevant exposure limit. Follow precaution statements on the label and the use and safety directions in Code of Practice for the Management of agrichemical NZS8409. Personal Protection: General Hygiene: Use only protective equipment bearing the mark of the Standards Association with Australia/New Zealand. In case of heavy exposure, wear half face-piece respirator with combined dust and vapour cartridge, chemical resistant gloves and heavy duty cotton overalls. Change work clothes daily. May irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale spray mist. If product gets on skin immediately wash area with soap and water. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. 9.
