6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Contain spilled material if possible. Pump with explosion-proof equipment. If
available, use foam to smother or supress. Small spills: Absorb with materials
such as: Clay. Dirt. Sand. Sweep up. Collect in suitable and properly labelled
containers. Large spills: Contact Vitax Ltd for clean-up assistance. See Section

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Keep out of reach of children. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Do not
swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing vapour or
mist. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed. Use with adequate
ventilation. No smoking, open flames or sources of ignition in handling and
storage area. Electrically ground and bond all equipment. Use of non-sparking or
explosion-proof equipment may be necessary, depending upon the type of
operation. See Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL
PROTECTION. Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain
vapours. Do not cut, drill, grind, weld, or perform similar operations on or near
empty containers.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Store in a dry place. Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed
when not in use. Do not store near food, foodstuffs, drugs or potable water
supplies. Minimize sources of ignition, such as static build-up, heat, spark or
flame.
7.3 Specific end use(s): Refer to product label.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Toxicological information on this product or its components appear in this section when such data is available.
11.1 Information on toxicological effects
Acute toxicity
Acute oral toxicity Low toxicity if swallowed. Small amounts swallowed incidentally as a result of
normal handling operations are not likely to cause injury; however, swallowing
larger amounts may cause injury.
As product (by calculation): LD50, rat, >4000 mg/kg
Acute dermal toxicity Prolonged skin contact is unlikely to result in absorption of harmful amounts.
As product: The dermal LD50 has not been determined.
For similar material(s): LD50, rabbit, male and female, > 5,000 mg/kg
Acute inhalation toxicity Prolonged excessive exposure may cause adverse effects. Excessive exposure may
cause irritation to upper respiratory tract (nose and throat) and lungs. In humans,
symptoms may include: Headache.
As product: The LC50 has not been determined.
Skin corrosion/irritation Brief contact is essentially non-irritating to skin.
Serious eye damage/eye irritation Does nt meet criteria for classification as an eye irritant.
Sensitization Did not demonstrate the potential for contact allergy in mice.
For respiratory sensitization: No relevant data found.
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Single Exposure)
May cause respiratory irritation.
Specific Target Organ Systemic Toxicity (Repeated Exposure)
For the active ingredient(s): In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Kidney.
Carcinogenicity
For similar active ingredient(s). Triclopyr. Did not cause cancer in laboratory animals.
Teratogenicity
For the active ingredient(s): Has been toxic to the foetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother.
Did not cause birth defects in laboratory animals.
Reproductive toxicity
For similar active ingredient(s). Triclopyr. In laboratory animal studies, effects on reproduction have been seen only at doses
that produced significant toxicity to the parent animals.
Mutagenicity
For the active ingredient(s): In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative.
For the minor component(s): In vitro genetic toxicity studies were negative. Animal genetic toxicity studies
were negative in some cases and positive in other cases.
Aspiration Hazard Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.
COMPONENTS INFLUENCING TOXICOLOGY:
Triclopyr Triethylamine Salt
Acute inhalation toxicity Maximum achievable concentration. LC50, rat, 4 Hour, dust/mist, > 2.6 mg/l No
deaths occurred at this concentration.
triethylamine
Acute inhalation toxicity Vapour concentrations are attainable which could be hazardous on single
exposure. Prolonged excessive exposure may cause serious adverse effects, even
death. Vapour may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
In humans, symptoms may include: Headache. LC50, rat, 1 Hour, vapour, 14.4
mg/l

______________________________________________________________________________________________
Alkylphenol alkoxylate
Acute inhalation toxicity At room temperature, exposure to vapour is minimal due to low volatility; vapour
from heated material or mist may cause respiratory irritation and other effects.
As product: The LC50 has not been determined.
