COMPOSITION/ INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Ingredient CAS Number EC Number Content BIFENTHRIN % NON HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS Not Available Not Available >60% PROPYLENE GLYCOL (PROPANE-1,2-DIOL) to 10% 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Inhalation Skin Ingestion Advice to doctor If in eyes, hold eyelids apart and flush continuously with running water. Continue flushing until advised to stop by a Poisons Information Centre, a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes. If inhaled, remove from contaminated area. Apply artificial respiration if not breathing. If on skin or clothing, remove any contaminated clothing at once, and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. See a doctor if irritation persists. For advice, contact a Poison Information Centre on (Australia Wide) or a doctor (at once). Bifenthrin the active ingredient in this product is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. The product has moderate oral toxicity and produces minimal irritation. After removal from exposure treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Digestible fats, oils, alcohol and milk products increase absorption and Page 1 of 6

2 First aid facilities should be avoided. It has been reported that a topical application of Vitamin E cream has therapeutic value in reducing skin irritation, associated with skin contact with pyrethroid insecticides. Eye wash facilities and safety shower are recommended. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammability Fire and explosion Extinguishing Hazchem code Non flammable. May evolve carbon oxides and hydrocarbons when heated to decomposition. Treat as per requirements for surrounding fires. Evacuate area and contact emergency services. Remain upwind and notify those downwind of hazard. Wear full protective equipment including Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) when combating fire. Use waterfog to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas. Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods of cleaning up References Wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as detailed in section 8 of the SDS. Clear area of all unprotected personnel. Ventilate area where possible. Contact emergency services where appropriate. Prevent product from entering drains and waterways. Contain spillage, then cover / absorb spill with non-combustible absorbent material (vermiculite, sand, or similar), collect and place in suitable containers for disposal. See Sections 8 and 13 for exposure controls and disposal. 7. STORAGE AND HANDLING Storage Handling Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area, removed from incompatible substances, seeds, fertilizer, heat or ignition sources and foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Large storage areas should have appropriate ventilation systems. Non corrosive- compatible with aluminium, HDPE, glass and phenolic-lined steel containers. Before use carefully read the product label. Use of safe work practices are recommended to avoid eye or skin contact and inhalation. Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Prohibit eating, drinking and smoking in contaminated areas. 8.

3 PPE Eye / Face Hands Body Respiratory Wear splash-proof goggles. Wear PVC or rubber gloves. If spraying, wear full-length PVC or full-length rubber gloves. Wear coveralls. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear a Type A (Organic vapour) respirator. At high vapour levels, wear Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or an Air-line respirator. If spraying, wear Full-face Type A-Class P3 (Organic gases/vapours and Particulate) respirator. 9.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical stability Conditions to avoid Material to avoid Hazardous Decomposition Products Hazardous Reactions Stable under recommended conditions of storage. Avoid heat, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. Incompatible with oxidising agents (e.g. hypochlorites) and acids (e.g. nitric acid). May evolve carbon oxides and hydrocarbons when heated to decomposition. Polymerization will not occur. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Health Hazard Summary Potential Health Effects: Studies with laboratory animals have shown this product to be harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Ingestion of large doses of bifenthrin by laboratory animals produced signs of toxicity which included clonic convulsions, tremors, and bloody nasal discharge. Chronic: No data available on this formulation. In studies with laboratory animals, the active ingredient (bifenthrin) did not cause reproductive toxicity or teratogenicity. Tremors were associated with repeated exposure of dogs, rats, rabbits, and mice to bifenthrin. The overall results from a battery of genotoxicity studies indicate that bifenthrin is not considered to be genotoxic. Repeated over-exposure to propylene glycol may cause central nervous system effects, destruction of red blood cells and kidney damage. Page 3 of 6

AUSTRALIA: AICS (Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances) All components are listed on AICS, or are exempt. 16. OTHER INFORMATION Additional information RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES: The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is made. HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE: It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a ChemAlert report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risks and apply control methods where appropriate.
