SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Continued...
If this product comes in contact with the eyes:

Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally
Eye Contact
lifting the upper and lower lids.
Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
Remove contact lenses if easy to do so.
If skin contact occurs:

Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear.
Skin Contact
Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area.

Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested.
Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid
Inhalation procedures.
Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket
mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary.
Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay.
If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting.

If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and
prevent aspiration.
Observe the patient carefully.
Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Ingestion Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.
Avoid giving milk or oils.
Avoid giving alcohol.
If spontaneous vomiting appears imminent or occurs, hold patient's head down, lower than their hips to help avoid possible
aspiration of vomitus.
4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
See Section 11
4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Any material aspirated during vomiting may produce lung injury. Therefore emesis should not be induced mechanically or pharmacologically. Mechanical means
should be used if it is considered necessary to evacuate the stomach contents; these include gastric lavage after endotracheal intubation. If spontaneous vomiting
has occurred after ingestion, the patient should be monitored for difficult breathing, as adverse effects of aspiration into the lungs may be delayed up to 48 hours.
for simple ketones:
--------------------------------------------------------------
BASIC TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
Establish a patent airway with suction where necessary.
Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilation as necessary.
Administer oxygen by non-rebreather mask at 10 to 15 l/min.
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for pulmonary oedema .
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for shock.
DO NOT use emetics. Where ingestion is suspected rinse mouth and give up to 200 ml water (5mL/kg recommended) for dilution where patient is able to
swallow, has a strong gag reflex and does not drool.
Give activated charcoal.
--------------------------------------------------------------
ADVANCED TREATMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in unconscious patient or where respiratory arrest has occurred.
Consider intubation at first sign of upper airway obstruction resulting from oedema.
Positive-pressure ventilation using a bag-valve mask might be of use.
Monitor and treat, where necessary, for arrhythmias.
Start an IV D5W TKO. If signs of hypovolaemia are present use lactated Ringers solution. Fluid overload might create complications.
Drug therapy should be considered for pulmonary oedema.
Hypotension with signs of hypovolaemia requires the cautious administration of fluids. Fluid overload might create complications.
Treat seizures with diazepam.
Proparacaine hydrochloride should be used to assist eye irrigation.
--------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------
Laboratory analysis of complete blood count, serum electrolytes, BUN, creatinine, glucose, urinalysis, baseline for serum aminotransferases (ALT and AST),
calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, may assist in establishing a treatment regime. Other useful analyses include anion and osmolar gaps, arterial blood
gases (ABGs), chest radiographs and electrocardiograph.
Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)-assisted ventilation may be required for acute parenchymal injury or adult respiratory distress syndrome.
Continued...
Consult a toxicologist as necessary.

BRONSTEIN, A.C. and CURRANCE, P.L.
EMERGENCY CARE FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS EXPOSURE: 2nd Ed. 1994
For acute or short term repeated exposures to xylene:
Gastro-intestinal absorption is significant with ingestions. For ingestions exceeding 1-2 ml (xylene)/kg, intubation and lavage with cuffed endotracheal tube is
recommended. The use of charcoal and cathartics is equivocal.
Pulmonary absorption is rapid with about 60-65% retained at rest.
Primary threat to life from ingestion and/or inhalation, is respiratory failure.
Patients should be quickly evaluated for signs of respiratory distress (e.g. cyanosis, tachypnoea, intercostal retraction, obtundation) and given oxygen.
Patients with inadequate tidal volumes or poor arterial blood gases (pO2 < 50 mm Hg or pCO2 > 50 mm Hg) should be intubated.
Arrhythmias complicate some hydrocarbon ingestion and/or inhalation and electrocardiographic evidence of myocardial injury has been reported; intravenous
lines and cardiac monitors should be established in obviously symptomatic patients. The lungs excrete inhaled solvents, so that hyperventilation improves
clearance.
A chest x-ray should be taken immediately after stabilisation of breathing and circulation to document aspiration and detect the presence of pneumothorax.
Epinephrine (adrenalin) is not recommended for treatment of bronchospasm because of potential myocardial sensitisation to catecholamines. Inhaled
cardioselective bronchodilators (e.g. Alupent, Salbutamol) are the preferred agents, with aminophylline a second choice.

protection
Store in original containers in approved flame-proof area.

No smoking, naked lights, heat or ignition sources.
DO NOT store in pits, depressions, basements or areas where vapours may be trapped.
Other information Keep containers securely sealed.
Store away from incompatible materials in a cool, dry well ventilated area.
Protect containers against physical damage and check regularly for leaks.
Observe manufacturer's storage and handling recommendations contained within this SDS.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Packing as supplied by manufacturer.

Plastic containers may only be used if approved for flammable liquid.
Check that containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
For low viscosity materials (i) : Drums and jerry cans must be of the non-removable head type. (ii) : Where a can is to be
used as an inner package, the can must have a screwed enclosure.
For materials with a viscosity of at least 2680 cSt. (23 deg. C)
For manufactured product having a viscosity of at least 250 cSt. (23 deg. C)
Suitable container
Manufactured product that requires stirring before use and having a viscosity of at least 20 cSt (25 deg. C): (i) Removable
head packaging; (ii) Cans with friction closures and (iii) low pressure tubes and cartridges may be used.
Where combination packages are used, and the inner packages are of glass, there must be sufficient inert cushioning
material in contact with inner and outer packages
In addition, where inner packagings are glass and contain liquids of packing group I there must be sufficient inert absorbent
to absorb any spillage, unless the outer packaging is a close fitting moulded plastic box and the substances are not
incompatible with the plastic.
Xylenes:
may ignite or explode in contact with strong oxidisers, 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, uranium fluoride
attack some plastics, rubber and coatings
may generate electrostatic charges on flow or agitation due to low conductivity.
Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic rings and strong
oxidising agents.
Aromatics can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds.
Acetone:
may react violently with chloroform, activated charcoal, aliphatic amines, bromine, bromine trifluoride, chlorotriazine,
chromic(IV) acid, chromic(VI) acid, chromium trioxide, chromyl chloride, hexachloromelamine, iodine heptafluoride, iodoform,
liquid oxygen, nitrosyl chloride, nitrosyl perchlorate, nitryl perchlorate, perchloromelamine, peroxomonosulfuric acid, platinum,
potassium tert-butoxide, strong acids, sulfur dichloride, trichloromelamine, xenon tetrafluoride
reacts violently with bromoform and chloroform in the presence of alkalies or in contact with alkaline surfaces.
may form unstable and explosive peroxides in contact with strong oxidisers, fluorine, hydrogen peroxide (90%), sodium
perchlorate, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene
can increase the explosive sensitivity of nitromethane on contact flow or agitation may generate electrostatic charges due to
Storage incompatibility low conductivity
dissolves or attacks most rubber, resins, and plastics (polyethylenes, polyester, vinyl ester, PVC, Neoprene, Viton)
For alkyl aromatics:
The alkyl side chain of aromatic rings can undergo oxidation by several mechanisms. The most common and dominant one is the
attack by oxidation at benzylic carbon as the intermediate formed is stabilised by resonance structure of the ring.
Following reaction with oxygen and under the influence of sunlight, a hydroperoxide at the alpha-position to the aromatic ring,
is the primary oxidation product formed (provided a hydrogen atom is initially available at this position) - this product is often
short-lived but may be stable dependent on the nature of the aromatic substitution; a secondary C-H bond is more easily
attacked than a primary C-H bond whilst a tertiary C-H bond is even more susceptible to attack by oxygen
Monoalkylbenzenes may subsequently form monocarboxylic acids; alkyl naphthalenes mainly produce the corresponding
naphthalene carboxylic acids.
Oxidation in the presence of transition metal salts not only accelerates but also selectively decomposes the hydroperoxides.
Hock-rearrangement by the influence of strong acids converts the hydroperoxides to hemiacetals. Peresters formed from the
hydroperoxides undergo Criegee rearrangement easily.
Alkali metals accelerate the oxidation while CO2 as co-oxidant enhances the selectivity.
Microwave conditions give improved yields of the oxidation products.
Continued...
Photo-oxidation products may occur following reaction with hydroxyl radicals and NOx - these may be components of
photochemical smogs.
Oxidation of Alkylaromatics: T.S.S Rao and Shubhra Awasthi: E-Journal of Chemistry Vol 4, No. 1, pp 1-13 January 2007
Ketones in this group:
are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2).
react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat.
are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides.
react violently with aldehydes, HNO3 (nitric acid), HNO3 + H2O2 (mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide), and HClO4
(perchloric acid).
may react with hydrogen peroxide to form unstable peroxides; many are heat- and shock-sensitive explosives.
A significant property of most ketones is that the hydrogen atoms on the carbons next to the carbonyl group are relatively acidic
when compared to hydrogen atoms in typical hydrocarbons. Under strongly basic conditions these hydrogen atoms may be
abstracted to form an enolate anion. This property allows ketones, especially methyl ketones, to participate in condensation
reactions with other ketones and aldehydes. This type of condensation reaction is favoured by high substrate concentrations and
high pH (greater than 1 wt% NaOH).

MATERIAL DATA
IFRA Prohibited Fragrance Substance
The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) Standards form the basis for the globally accepted and recognized risk management system for the safe use of
fragrance ingredients and are part of the IFRA Code of Practice. This is the self-regulating system of the industry, based on risk assessments carried out by an
independent Expert Panel
Odour Threshold Value: 3.6 ppm (detection), 699 ppm (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes measuring in excess of 40 ppm, are available.
Exposure at or below the recommended TLV-TWA is thought to protect the worker against mild irritation associated with brief exposures and the bioaccumulation,
chronic irritation of the respiratory tract and headaches associated with long-term acetone exposures. The NIOSH REL-TWA is substantially lower and has taken
into account slight irritation experienced by volunteer subjects at 300 ppm. Mild irritation to acclimatised workers begins at about 750 ppm - unacclimatised
subjects will experience irritation at about 350-500 ppm but acclimatisation can occur rapidly. Disagreement between the peak bodies is based largely on the view
by ACGIH that widespread use of acetone, without evidence of significant adverse health effects at higher concentrations, allows acceptance of a higher limit.
Half-life of acetone in blood is 3 hours which means that no adjustment for shift-length has to be made with reference to the standard 8 hour/day, 40 hours per
week because body clearance occurs within any shift with low potential for accumulation.
A STEL has been established to prevent excursions of acetone vapours that could cause depression of the central nervous system.
Odour Safety Factor(OSF)
OSF=38 (ACETONE)
for xylenes:
IDLH Level: 900 ppm
Odour Threshold Value: 20 ppm (detection), 40 ppm (recognition)
NOTE: Detector tubes for o-xylene, measuring in excess of 10 ppm, are available commercially. (m-xylene and p-xylene give almost the same response).
Xylene vapour is an irritant to the eyes, mucous membranes and skin and causes narcosis at high concentrations. Exposure to doses sufficiently high to produce
intoxication and unconsciousness also produces transient liver and kidney toxicity. Neurologic impairment is NOT evident amongst volunteers inhaling up to 400
ppm though complaints of ocular and upper respiratory tract irritation occur at 200 ppm for 3 to 5 minutes.
Exposure to xylene at or below the recommended TLV-TWA and STEL is thought to minimise the risk of irritant effects and to produce neither significant narcosis
or chronic injury. An earlier skin notation was deleted because percutaneous absorption is gradual and protracted and does not substantially contribute to the dose
received by inhalation.

8.2. Exposure controls
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to
provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard 'physically' away from the worker and ventilation
8.2.1. Appropriate that strategically 'adds' and 'removes' air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed
engineering controls properly. The design of a ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.
Employees exposed to confirmed human carcinogens should be authorized to do so by the employer, and work in a regulated
area.
Work should be undertaken in an isolated system such as a 'glove-box' . Employees should wash their hands and arms upon
completion of the assigned task and before engaging in other activities not associated with the isolated system.
8.2.2. Personal protection
Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles.
Eye and face protection Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy
document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should

include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience.
Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the
event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should
be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers
have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent]
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Wear chemical protective gloves.

Wear safety footwear or safety boots.
NOTE:
The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other
protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material
can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and.has to be
Hands/feet protection observed when making a final choice.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands
should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Important factors in the selection of gloves include:
·frequency and duration of contact,
·chemical resistance of glove material,
·glove thickness and
·dexterity
Select gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN 374, US F739, AS/NZS 2161.1 or national equivalent).
·When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 5 or higher (breakthrough
time greater than 240 minutes according to EN 374, AS/NZS 2161.10.1 or national equivalent) is recommended.
Body protection See Other protection below
Employees working with confirmed human carcinogens should be provided with, and be required to wear, clean, full body
protective clothing (smocks, coveralls, or long-sleeved shirt and pants), shoe covers and gloves prior to entering the
regulated area. [AS/NZS ISO 6529:2006 or national equivalent]
Employees engaged in handling operations involving carcinogens should be provided with, and required to wear and use
half-face filter-type respirators with filters for dusts, mists and fumes, or air purifying canisters or cartridges. A respirator
affording higher levels of protection may be substituted. [AS/NZS 1715 or national equivalent]
Emergency deluge showers and eyewash fountains, supplied with potable water, should be located near, within sight of, and
on the same level with locations where direct exposure is likely.
Prior to each exit from an area containing confirmed human carcinogens, employees should be required to remove and leave
protective clothing and equipment at the point of exit and at the last exit of the day, to place used clothing and equipment in
impervious containers at the point of exit for purposes of decontamination or disposal. The contents of such impervious
containers must be identified with suitable labels. For maintenance and decontamination activities, authorized employees
entering the area should be provided with and required to wear clean, impervious garments, including gloves, boots and
continuous-air supplied hood.
Prior to removing protective garments the employee should undergo decontamination and be required to shower upon

Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower.
·Some plastic personal protective equipment (PPE) (e.g. gloves, aprons, overshoes) are not recommended as they may
produce static electricity.
·For large scale or continuous use wear tight-weave non-static clothing (no metallic fasteners, cuffs or pockets).
·Non sparking safety or conductive footwear should be considered. Conductive footwear describes a boot or shoe with a
sole made from a conductive compound chemically bound to the bottom components, for permanent control to
electrically ground the foot an shall dissipate static electricity from the body to reduce the possibility of ignition of volatile
compounds. Electrical resistance must range between 0 to 500,000 ohms. Conductive shoes should be stored in
lockers close to the room in which they are worn. Personnel who have been issued conductive footwear should not wear
them from their place of work to their homes and return.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
11.1. Information on toxicological effects
Evidence shows, or practical experience predicts, that the material produces irritation of the respiratory system, in a substantial
number of individuals, following inhalation. In contrast to most organs, the lung is able to respond to a chemical insult by first
removing or neutralising the irritant and then repairing the damage. The repair process, which initially evolved to protect
mammalian lungs from foreign matter and antigens, may however, produce further lung damage resulting in the impairment of
gas exchange, the primary function of the lungs. Respiratory tract irritation often results in an inflammatory response involving the
recruitment and activation of many cell types, mainly derived from the vascular system.
Inhalation of vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness. This may be accompanied by narcosis, reduced alertness, loss of
reflexes, lack of coordination and vertigo.
Inhaled
Material is highly volatile and may quickly form a concentrated atmosphere in confined or unventilated areas. The vapour may
displace and replace air in breathing zone, acting as a simple asphyxiant. This may happen with little warning of overexposure.
The use of a quantity of material in an unventilated or confined space may result in increased exposure and an irritating
atmosphere developing. Before starting consider control of exposure by mechanical ventilation.
Headache, fatigue, lassitude, irritability and gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g., nausea, anorexia and flatulence) are the most
common symptoms of xylene overexposure. Injury to the heart, liver, kidneys and nervous system has also been noted amongst
workers. Transient memory loss, renal impairment, temporary confusion and some evidence of disturbance of liver function was
Continued...
reported in three workers overcome by gross exposure to xylene (10000 ppm). One worker died and autopsy revealed pulmonary
congestion, oedema and focal alveolar haemorrhage. Volunteers inhaling xylene at 100 ppm for 5 to 6 hours showed changes in
manual coordination reaction time and slight ataxia. Tolerance developed during the workweek but was lost over the weekend.
Physical exercise may antagonise this effect. Xylene body burden in humans exposed to 100 or 200 ppm xylene in air depends
on the amount of body fat with 4% to 8% of total absorbed xylene accumulating in adipose tissue.
Xylene is a central nervous system depressant. Central nervous system (CNS) depression may include nonspecific discomfort,
symptoms of giddiness, headache, dizziness, nausea, anaesthetic effects, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and may
progress to unconsciousness. Serious poisonings may result in respiratory depression and may be fatal.
Accidental ingestion of the material may be harmful; animal experiments indicate that ingestion of less than 150 gram may be
fatal or may produce serious damage to the health of the individual.
Swallowing of the liquid may cause aspiration of vomit into the lungs with the risk of haemorrhaging, pulmonary oedema,
Ingestion
progressing to chemical pneumonitis; serious consequences may result.
Signs and symptoms of chemical (aspiration) pneumonitis may include coughing, gasping, choking, burning of the mouth, difficult
breathing, and bluish coloured skin (cyanosis).
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition

Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream through, for example, cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds or lesions, may produce systemic injury with
harmful effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The material may produce mild skin irritation; limited evidence or practical experience suggests, that the material either:
produces mild inflammation of the skin in a substantial number of individuals following direct contact, and/or
Skin Contact
produces significant, but mild, inflammation when applied to the healthy intact skin of animals (for up to four hours), such
inflammation being present twenty-four hours or more after the end of the exposure period.
Skin irritation may also be present after prolonged or repeated exposure; this may result in a form of contact dermatitis (non
allergic). The dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling (oedema) which may progress to
blistering (vesiculation), scaling and thickening of the epidermis. At the microscopic level there may be intercellular oedema of
the spongy layer of the skin (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause severe eye irritation in a substantial number of
individuals and/or may produce significant ocular lesions which are present twenty-four hours or more after instillation into the
eye(s) of experimental animals. Eye contact may cause significant inflammation with pain. Corneal injury may occur; permanent
impairment of vision may result unless treatment is prompt and adequate. Repeated or prolonged exposure to irritants may
Eye
cause inflammation characterised by a temporary redness (similar to windburn) of the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis); temporary
impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration may occur.
The liquid may produce eye discomfort and is capable of causing temporary impairment of vision and/or transient eye
inflammation, ulceration
Repeated or long-term occupational exposure is likely to produce cumulative health effects involving organs or biochemical
systems.
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in disease of the airways involving difficult breathing and related systemic
problems.
Strong evidence exists that the substance may cause irreversible but non-lethal mutagenic effects following a single exposure.
Practical experience shows that skin contact with the material is capable either of inducing a sensitisation reaction in a
substantial number of individuals, and/or of producing a positive response in experimental animals.
On the basis, primarily, of animal experiments, the material may be regarded as carcinogenic to humans. There is sufficient
evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure to the material may result in cancer on the basis of:
- appropriate long-term animal studies
- other relevant information
There is sufficient evidence to provide a strong presumption that human exposure to the material may result in impaired fertility
on the basis of: - clear evidence in animal studies of impaired fertility in the absence of toxic effects, or evidence of impaired
fertility occurring at around the same dose levels as other toxic effects but which is not a secondary non-specific consequence of
Chronic other toxic effects.
Prolonged or repeated contact with xylenes may cause defatting dermatitis with drying and cracking. Chronic inhalation of
xylenes has been associated with central nervous system effects, loss of appetite, nausea, ringing in the ears, irritability, thirst
anaemia, mucosal bleeding, enlarged liver and hyperplasia. Exposure may produce kidney and liver damage. In chronic
occupational exposure, xylene (usually mix ed with other solvents) has produced irreversible damage to the central nervous
system and ototoxicity (damages hearing and increases sensitivity to noise), probably due to neurotoxic mechanisms.
Industrial workers exposed to xylene with a maximum level of ethyl benzene of 0.06 mg/l (14 ppm) reported headaches and
irritability and tired quickly. Functional nervous system disturbances were found in some workers employed for over 7 years
whilst other workers had enlarged livers.
Xylene has been classed as a developmental toxin in some jurisdictions.
Small excess risks of spontaneous abortion and congenital malformation were reported amongst women exposed to xylene in
the first trimester of pregnancy. In all cases, however, the women were also been exposed to other substances. Evaluation of
workers chronically exposed to xylene has demonstrated lack of genotoxicity.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying with cracking, irritation and possible dermatitis following.
Workers exposed to 700 ppm acetone for 3 hours/day for 7-15 years showed inflammation of the respiratory tract, stomach and
duodenum, attacks of giddiness and loss of strength. Exposure to acetone may enhance liver toxicity of chlorinated solvents.

The following information refers to contact allergens as a group and may not be specific to this product.
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The
pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic
Green
skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not
simply determined by its sensitisation potential: the distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are
equally important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely distributed can be a more important allergen than one with
stronger sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a clinical point of view, substances are
noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.
WARNING: This substance has been classified by the IARC as Group 1: CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS.

The material may produce severe irritation to the eye causing pronounced inflammation. Repeated or prolonged exposure to
irritants may produce conjunctivitis.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic).
XYLENE
This form of dermatitis is often characterised by skin redness (erythema) and swelling the epidermis. Histologically there may be
intercellular oedema of the spongy layer (spongiosis) and intracellular oedema of the epidermis.
The substance is classified by IARC as Group 3:
NOT classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.
Evidence of carcinogenicity may be inadequate or limited in animal testing.
For methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK):
MIBK is primarily absorbed by the lungs in animals and humans; it can however be absorbed by the gastrointestinal system and
through skin.
In two cases involving individuals exposed to the vapour MIBK was found in the brain, liver, lung, vitreous fluid, kidney and blood.
Experiments in guinea pigs show that MIBK is metabolised to 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone and 4-methyl-2-pentanol.
Ketones are generally excreted rapidly in expired air. Small amounts of MIBK are also excreted in the urine. Humans excreted
less than 0.1% of the dose as unmetabolised MIBK in the urine within the first 3 hours post exposure. Serum half-life in guinea
pigs is about 55 minutes with a clearance time of 6 hours
methyl isobutyl ketone In animal studies, the acute systemic toxicity of MIBK, via the oral and inhalation routes of exposure, is low. In a 90-day gavage
study on rats, a no-observed-effect level (NOEL) of 50 mg/kg per day was found. In 90-day inhalation studies on rats and mice,
concentrations of up to 4100 mg/m3 (1000 ppm) did not result in significant toxicity, though compound-related reversible
morphological changes were reported in the liver and kidney. Evidence of central nervous system depression was seen in
animals exposed to a level of 4100 mg/m3 (1000 ppm). In a number of studies, exposure to MIBK concentrations as low as 1025
mg/m3 (250 ppm) resulted in an increase in liver size and induced hepatic microsomal metabolism. This may be responsible for
the exacerbation of haloalkane toxicity and for the potentiation of the neurotoxicity of n-hexane.

The acute toxicity of acetone is low. Acetone is not a skin irritant or sensitiser but is a defatting agent to the skin. Acetone is an
eye irritant. The subchronic toxicity of acetone has been examined in mice and rats that were administered acetone in the
drinking water and again in rats treated by oral gavage. Acetone-induced increases in relative kidney weight changes were
observed in male and female rats used in the oral 13-week study. Acetone treatment caused increases in the relative liver weight

Overall, the no-observed-effect-levels in the drinking water study were 1% for male rats (900 mg/kg/d) and male mice (2258
mg/kg/d), 2% for female mice (5945 mg/kg/d), and 5% for female rats (3100 mg/kg/d). For developmental effects, a statistically
significant reduction in foetal weight, and a slight, but statistically significant increase in the percent incidence of later resorptions
were seen in mice at 15,665 mg/m3 and in rats at 26,100 mg/m3.
The material may cause skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce a contact dermatitis (nonallergic).

Bisphenols promoted cell proliferation and increased the synthesis and secretion of cell type-specific proteins. When ranked by
proliferative potency, the longer the alkyl substituent at the bridging carbon, the lower the concentration needed for maximal cell

Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Do NOT allow product to come in contact with surface waters or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when cleaning
equipment or disposing of equipment wash-waters.
Wastes resulting from use of the product must be disposed of on site or at approved waste sites.
For aromatic hydrocarbons:
Within an aromatic series, acute toxicity increases with increasing alkyl substitution on the aromatic nucleus. For example, there is an increase in toxicity as
alkylation of the naphthalene structure increases. The order of most toxic to least in a study using grass shrimp (Palaemonetes pugio) and brown shrimp (Penaeus
aztecus) was dimethylnaphthalenes > methylnaphthalenes >naphthalenes.
Studies conclude that the toxicity of an oil appears to be a function of its di-aromatic and tri-aromatic hydrocarbons, which includes three-ring hydrocarbons such
as phenanthrene.
The heavier (4-, 5-, and 6-ring) PAHs are more persistent than the lighter (2- and 3-ring) PAHs and tend to have greater carcinogenic and other chronic impact
potential. PAHs in general are more frequently associated with chronic risks. These risks include cancer and often are the result of exposures to complex mixtures
of chronic-risk aromatics (such as PAHs, alkyl PAHs, benzenes, and alkyl benzenes), rather than exposures to low levels of a single compound.
Anthracene is a phototoxic PAH . UV light greatly increases the toxicity of anthracene to bluegill sunfish. .

Environmental Fate
Terrestrial fate:: Measured Koc values of 166 and 182, indicate that 3-xylene is expected to have moderate mobility in soil. Volatilisation of p-xylene is expected
to be important from moist soil surfaces given a measured Henry's Law constant of 7.18x10-3 atm-cu m/mole. The potential for volatilisation of 3-xylene from dry
soil surfaces may exist based on a measured vapor pressure of 8.29 mm Hg. p-Xylene may be degraded during its passage through soil). The extent of the
degradation is expected to depend on its concentration, residence time in the soil, the nature of the soil, and whether resident microbial populations have been
acclimated. p-Xylene, present in soil samples contaminated with jet fuel, was completely degraded aerobically within 5 days. In aquifer studies under anaerobic
conditions, p-xylene was degraded, usually within several weeks, with the production of 3-methylbenzylfumaric acid, 3-methylbenzylsuccinic acid,
3-methylbenzoate, and 3-methylbenzaldehyde as metabolites.
Aquatic fate: Koc values indicate that p-xylene may adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water. p-Xylene is expected to volatilise from water surfaces
based on the measured Henry's Law constant. Estimated volatilisation half-lives for a model river and model lake are 3 hours and 4 days, respectively.
For ketones:
Ketones, unless they are alpha, beta--unsaturated ketones, can be considered as narcosis or baseline toxicity compounds
Hydrolysis may also involve the addition of water to ketones to yield ketals under mild acid conditions. However, this addition of water is thermodynamically
favorable only for low molecular weight ketones. This addition is an equilibrium reaction that is reversible upon a change of water concentration and the reaction
ultimately leads to no permanent change in the structure of the ketone substrateThe higher molecular weight ketones do no form stable ketals. Therefore, the
ketones are stable to water under ambient environmental conditions
Another possible reaction of ketones in water involves the enolic hydrogen on the carbons bonded to the carbonyl function. Under conditions of high pH (pH
greater than 10), the enolic proton is abstracted by base (OH-) forming a carbanion intermediate that may react with other organic substrates (e.g., ketones,
esters, aldehydes) containing a center for nucleophilic attack. The reactions, commonly recognized as condensation reactions, produce higher molecular weight
products. Under ambient conditions of temperature, pH, and low concentration, these condensation reactions are unfavorable.
Based on its reactions in air, it seems likely that ketones undergo photolysis in water. It is probable that ketones will be biodegraded to an appreciable degree by
micro-organisms in soil and water. They are unlikely to bioconcentrate or biomagnify.
for acetone:
log Kow: -0.24
Half-life (hr) air: 312-1896

COD: 1.12-2.07
ThOD: 2.2
BCF: 0.69
Environmental fate:
Acetone preferentially locates in the air compartment when released to the environment. A substantial amount of acetone can also be found in water, which is
consistent with the high water to air partition coefficient and its small, but detectable, presence in rain water, sea water, and lake water samples. Very little acetone
is expected to reside in soil, biota, or suspended solids. This is entirely consistent with the physical and chemical properties of acetone and with measurements
showing a low propensity for soil absorption and a high preference for moving through the soil and into the ground water
In air, acetone is lost by photolysis and reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals; the estimated half-life of these combined processes is about 22
days. The relatively long half-life allows acetone to be transported long distances from its emission source.
Acetone is highly soluble and slightly persistent in water, with a half-life of about 20 hours; it is minimally toxic to aquatic life.
Acetone released to soil volatilises although some may leach into the ground where it rapidly biodegrades.
Acetone does not concentrate in the food chain.
Acetone meets the OECD definition of readily biodegradable which requires that the biological oxygen demand (BOD) is at least 70% of the theoretical oxygen
demand (THOD) within the 28-day test period

Specific Conditions of REACH authorisation C(2020) 2076
In addition to the Risk Mitigation Measures (RMM) and Operational Conditions (OC) in the attached Exposure
Scenarios (ES) downstream users must also comply with the specific conditions of the authorisation.
The downstream users shall implement best practices to reduce workplace exposure to strontium chromate and
its emissions to the environment to as low a level as technically and practically feasible, including by using
closed systems and automation, when possible. Where use of closed systems and automation is not possible the
downstream users shall use local exhaust ventilation (LEV) systems that are designed, dimensioned, located and
maintained to capture and remove strontium chromate.
Where closed systems and automation are not used, the authorisation holders and the downstream users shall be
permitted not to use LEV only exceptionally, where its use is technically impossible and subject to the provision
of appropriate justification. Information on LEV systems put in place in the installations where an authorised use
takes place, as well as on their maintenance, shall be made available to the competent authority of the Member
State.
Where respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is needed to control exposure to strontium chromate, the
downstream users shall use it in accordance with standard procedures for use and maintenance, including
procedures for fit testing of RPE masks, applied in accordance with relevant standards.
Access to the area where activities defined by Exposure scenario (Surface treatment by spraying (large parts) in
purpose-designed room) are conducted shall be restricted by means of access control systems and physical
segregation from other work areas.
Access to the area in which activities defined by exposure scenario (Surface treatment by spraying outside of
paint-booth) are conducted, shall be restricted by means of adequate control systems. In cases where the activity
is carried out indoors there shall be physical segregation from other work areas to avoid exposure of workers not
performing those activities
When carrying out the activities defined by exposure scenarios (Surface treatment by spraying in spray cabin /
spray booth) and (Surface treatment by spraying outside of paint-booth), at least a full-mask respiratory
protective equipment, with a minimum assigned protection factor of 400 shall be used.
Monitoring
The downstream users shall implement the following monitoring programmes for chromium (VI):
(a) air monitoring programmes on occupational exposure to chromium (VI) in accordance with Article
5(5)(e) of Directive 2004/37/EC. The first measurements shall be performed without delay and at the
latest on 16 October 2020. Those programmes shall:
– take place annually;
– be based on relevant standard methodologies or protocols;
– be representative of the range of tasks undertaken where exposure to chromium (VI) is
possible, including tasks involving process, maintenance and machining operations, of the
operational conditions and risk management measures typical for each of these tasks, and of
the number of workers potentially exposed;
(b) as regards the use bearing authorisation number REACH/20/7/19, as regards workers undertaking
activities defined by Exposure scenarios (Surface treatment by spraying (large parts) in purpose-
designed room), (Surface treatment by spraying in spray cabin / spray booth) and (Surface treatment by
spraying outside of paint-booth), as well as exposure scenario (Machining and Sanding), annual
programmes of inhalation exposure monitoring for chromium (VI) through personal sampling, carried
out in accordance with Article 5(5)(e) of Directive 2004/37/EC, in combination with post-shift
biomonitoring for chromium
(c) monitoring programmes for chromium (VI) emissions to wastewater and air from LEV. Those
programmes shall be based on relevant standard methodologies or protocols and be representative of the
operational conditions and risk management measures (such as waste water treatment systems, gaseous
emission abatement techniques) used at the individual sites where measurements are carried out.
The downstream users shall use the information gathered via the measurements referred to above and related
contextual information to regularly review the effectiveness of the risk management measures and operational
conditions in place and to introduce measures to further reduce exposure and emissions. The downstream users
shall document the results of those measurements as well as of any action taken following the review and shall
make it available, upon request, to the competent authorities of the Member States where an authorised uses
takes place.
The downstream users shall make available to the Agency the information from the monitoring programmes
referred to above, including the contextual information associated to each set of measurements, using the
template provided via the consortium Chromium VI Compounds for Surface Treatment (CCST) website
(https://jonesdayreach.com/substances/ ), for the first time by 16 April 2021, for transmission to the
authorisation holders for the purpose of validating the exposure scenarios referred to in paragraph 2 and
afterwards for the preparation of the review report referred to in Article 61(1) of Regulation (EC) No
1907/200612.
Having implemented the risk management measures and operational conditions described in specific exposure
scenarios, the downstream users may reduce the frequency of measurements, once they can demonstrate to the
competent authority of the Member State where the use takes place that exposure of humans and releases to the
environment have been reduced to as low a level as technically and practically possible and that the risk
management measures and operational conditions correspond to the exposure scenarios and function
appropriately.

Introduction
Hexavalent chromium releases to the environment are carefully controlled by industry and monitored by
regulators. The volume of hexavalent chromium (as strontium chromate) depends on the scale of the facility.
Air emissions relating to local exhaust ventilation (LEV) or extraction systems are filtered (e.g. using HEPA
filters) or passed through wet scrubbers to remove particulates prior to release to atmosphere. Information from
facilities indicates that removal efficiency of at least 99% is typical for industry. Companies regularly monitor
and report hexavalent chromium emissions as part of permit conditions. Releases are often beneath detection
limits and extended sampling times are necessary to quantify releases. These measured data has therefore been
used, in line with the applicable models and guidance, to determine the local concentration of hexavalent
chromium in air, and exposure to man via the environment, as set out below.
For the coating applications described here, the production facility is strictly separated from the wastewater
stream, i.e. there is only very low release of Cr(VI) to the aquatic environment, if at all. Water in scrubbers or
filters is generally recycled and occasionally replaced, with resulting material being treated as a waste.
Facilities may have on-site wastewater treatment facilities that act to reduce the hexavalent chromium to trivalent
chromium. The solids are precipitated and the supernatant is discharged from the site. The treatment process is
very efficient and concentrations of hexavalent chromium in treated water is below detection limits.
Waste materials containing Cr(VI) are classified and treated as hazardous wastes according to EU and national
regulations.

▪ See below
Technical and organisational conditions and measures
• Air emission abatement: at least 99% efficiency.
• Negligible discharge of Cr(VI) in wastewater from the site
• All solid waste and any liquid waste is collected and either the collected waste is directly forwarded to an
external waste management company, or Cr(VI) in wastewater is reduced to Cr(III) on-site, and the treated
waste is forwarded to an external waste management company (licenced contractor) for disposal as
hazardous waste
Conditions and measures related to sewage treatment plant
• Not applicable – negligible discharge of Cr(VI) in wastewater from the site
Conditions and measures related to treatment of waste (including article waste)
• Collection of all solid and liquid waste, elimination of Cr(VI) from waste water, disposal as hazardous
waste by an external waste management company (licenced contractor)
Other conditions affecting environmental exposure
• Exhaust air is passed through filters or wet scrubbers according to best available technique (minimum
efficiency 99 %)
Point source emission data were provided for 5 sites. These data were used to estimate Clocalair,ann, the estimated
annual average concentration in air, 100 m from point source, for the assessment of Man via Environment
according to the Technical Guidance document R. 16, 2012.

CAS No. 7789-06-2
EC No. 232-14-6
Page 4 of 77
Where emission was reported in g/h, emission time per day and emission days per year was used to calculate the
annual average daily emission (kg/d). Where the measured concentration (g/m 3) was reported, information on
mass volume flow (m3/h) was used to determine emission per hour (g/h).
Measured concentrations below the detection limit were used applying a factor of 0.5 to the reported values. If
the measurement reported the emission as Cr total, a factor of 0.5 as worst-case assumption was used to estimate
Cr(VI) emission. In accordance with standard risk assessment procedures, measured concentration data below
elevated detection concentrations (> 0.05 mg Cr(VI)/Nm3) were not used as they do not allow realistic estimates
that support meaningful risk assessment.
The PECregionalair,ann was estimated in EUSES2.1.2. The following assumptions have been used for estimation:

The 90th percentile value of 1.61E-6 mg Cr(VI)/m3 is used as worst-case estimate of Clocalair,ann.
The PEClocalair,ann of 1.61E-6 mg Cr(VI)/m3 is estimated as sum of Clocalair,ann and PECregionalair and used as the
basis for risk characterisation for man via the environment.
Based on the dose-response relationship derived by the RAC, considering a 70 year exposure time (24h/day,
7d/week), the following excess lifetime risk for the general population is derived based on the estimated exposure:
4.67E-02 per 1000 exposed.
As the mechanistic evidence is suggestive of non-linearity, it is acknowledged by RAC that excess risks inferred
in the low exposure range [i.e. below an exposure concentration of 1 µg Cr(VI)/m³] might be an over-estimate.

S6 - ES on Surface Treatment by Spraying in Spray Cabin or Spray Booth

and Drying, Self-or Heat-Curing (Use 2)
Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the industrial surface treatment of articles by manual spraying in a cabin.
Surface treatment is performed by spraying an even thickness of a solution containing chromates to an article.
Equipment Design and Access

The cabin comprises a closed spray chamber/or semi-closed booth. The spray chamber / spray zone of a booth is
maintained under negative pressure when the system is operating. Workers spray articles using a spray gun inside
the cabin. The parts are then transferred to a drying chamber or an oven for curing.
The system must have all of the following features:
• Spray operations are carried out within a closed spray chamber or semi-closed booth.
• An extraction system designed, dimensioned, located and maintained to capture and remove chromates
is provided.
• Overspray is captured within the cabin or booth.
Chromates Emissions
Material containing chromates is released during spray operations. Residual chromate solution on equipment
surfaces and articles/parts might be possible after treatment.
Risk Management Measures – Workers

• Controls are in place to ensure access to the spray chamber or booth is restricted when the plant is
operational, including adequate clearance time after completion of a production cycle. Clearance time
should be determined via an appropriate test.
• The spray booth extraction system must be set up such that the spraying process stops immediately in
case of malfunction/breakdown.
• The spray booth extraction system must be tested regularly and comprehensively to ensure it is operating
efficiently.
• Process equipment must be regularly inspected and cleaned after every use to remove residual chromates
after treatment, which appears as colored traces on the equipment. See CCST Good Practice Sheet (GPS)
D4 and D9 (see Link).
• Implement appropriate measures (e.g. provision of local cleaning facilities and hazardous waste
management bins) to prevent cross-contamination from equipment and PPE to adjacent areas.
• Physical barriers, signage or strict procedures must be in place to control access to the spray area.
PPE
All persons accessing the spray cabin must wear:
• Protective eye goggles.
• Air-fed respirator /full-face filter mask with P3 filter.
• Protective gloves.
• Safety clothing / footwear.
• Chemical resistant disposable suit.
CCST GPS E1 (see Link) and other sections of this Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provide relevant information on
PPE.
Training and Supervision
All persons with access to the spray cabin must be instructed about the risks of working with chromates, the safe
way of handling chromates and use of PPE and other control equipment. Workers must be properly trained and
equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed. Adequate supervision must be
available at all times.
Monitoring
Adequate monitoring data must be available to evidence that potential exposure of workers and potential

CAS No. 7789-06-2
EC No. 232-14-6
Page 6 of 77
environmental release are maintained to as low as reasonably practicable level. Annual programs of inhalation
exposure monitoring for chromium (VI) through personal sampling must be implemented in combination with
post-shift biomonitoring for chromium. Expert input is advisable.
Monitoring should be carried out at least annually. Downstream users may reduce the frequency of measurements
once it is demonstrated that exposure of humans and releases to the environment has been reduced to as low a
level as technically and practically possible and that the risk management measures and operational conditions
correspond to the exposure scenarios and function appropriately.
GPS E2-E3 (Link) provide further information on monitoring, including reference to relevant standards.

A. Exposure Assessment – Surface Treatment by Spraying in Spray Cabin/Spray Booth

(PROC 7)
Introduction
Small to medium sized parts are sprayed in a spray cabin or spray booth with air extraction systems in place.
Workers wear at least half-face masks with P3 filter. This is not a continuous task during the full-shift.
Around 40 personal sampling and static measurement data from 2000-2013 in five EU countries were available
from more than 5 companies. Because a sufficient number (>30) of data from personal sampling were available,
the exposure assessment is based on these data (as suggested in the Technical Guidance document R.14).
Individual company data have been comprehensively evaluated. The number of sampling data provided by each
of the companies varied (e.g. different number of measurements conducted, different number of years reported),
so the data were aggregated per company in the first instance. In a second step, data were aggregated across all
the companies that provided data, giving equal weight to each company in the data set.
The estimation below therefore considers already the effectiveness of local exhaust ventilation (reflected by the
measured values) which is standard in spray rooms/both.
The values reported below includes an estimate of the effectiveness of respiratory protection. Effectiveness of
respiratory protection was assessed using the company information on type of mask and filter used and the
protection factors (APFs) provided by either the German BG rule “BGR/GUV-R190” from December 2011 or
alternatively, if available, the APF provided by the manufacturer of the respiratory protection equipment.
Respiratory protection is always worn during spraying. The APFs reflected in the measured data below were
between 30 and 2000.

B. Exposure Assessment – Drying/Self-Curing (PROC 26)

Introduction
Once coating is completed, the finished part is stored for drying and curing. The part may be cured in the spray
booth or in a separate room fitted with extraction. In most application cases, no workers are present. In some
facilities, however, workers might be around the curing part for a limited amount of time and then the following
scenario applies. However, most of the time, activities will not be conducted in close proximity (i.e. within one
meter distance of the breathing zone) to the drying/curing part. As a worst-case, the scenario assumes that no LEV
is present and no RPE worn.
There is no extraction for items which have been touched-up on the shop floor, however potential exposure is
only to low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) not to hexavalent chromium.

Conclusion on Risk Characterisation

The modelled exposure estimate (ART 1.5) of 0.32 µg Cr(VI)/m³ is used as the basis for risk characterisation
(worst case). The estimate is based on several conservative assumptions regarding exposure 3.
3
These include:
• highest reported exposure duration for each task (whereas the exposure duration is normally lower)
• minimum reported RMM (e.g. automation, enclosure, extract ventilation) to reduce exposure
• lowest level of personal protection (whereas the level of personal protection will normally be higher in practice)
• use of the 90th percentile value as representative for the exposure situation.
While any one individual site may represent the situation for one of these assumptions (e.g. highest reported exposure duration), no individual
site represents the worst case for each assumption. Furthermore, these assumptions have multiplicative effect, such that the level of
conservatism built into the health assessment increases by orders of magnitude as a result.

Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the industrial surface treatment of articles by spraying outside a cabin. The process
is typically conducted within an aircraft hangar or dedicated space when other options are not possible (e.g. when
the item to be treated is not transportable or cannot be disassembled for surface coating).
An even thickness of a surface treatment containing chromates are applied to an article by spraying.

Workers spray articles using a spray gun, typically within an aircraft hangar or dedicated space. The system must
have all of the following features:
• The spraying is carried out in an area to which access is restricted.
• The activity is carried out only in instances when spraying within a booth is not an option from a practical
point of view (i.e. the surface area to be sprayed forms part of a larger object).
• LEV designed, dimensioned, located and maintained to capture and remove chromates is provided to
efficiently remove chromates from area.
• Masking materials may be used to protect equipment during operations such as spraying or maintenance
where there is increased potential for release. The masking material is periodically removed and replaced.
Chromates Emissions
Material containing chromates is released during spray operations. Residual chromate on equipment surfaces and
articles/parts might be possible after treatment.

• Controls are in place to ensure access to the area in which spraying is being carried out is restricted when
spray activities are ongoing, including adequate clearance time. Clearance time should be determined via
an appropriate test.
• The LEV system must be tested regularly and comprehensively to ensure it is operating efficiently.

Conditions of Use
Occasionally spraying is conducted on limited surfaces outside a paint booth, e.g. directly on airplanes. Depending
on the amount of paint used (exposure potential) either half-face or full face masks are in use. Local extraction
may or may not be available. For the purpose of this exposure assessment it is assumed that it takes place two
times a week, using less than one liter of paint, without exhaust air extraction and using a half-face mask. This
scenario also covers as worst-case those situations in which a higher amount of paint is used, but less often and
using a full-face masks. The model also applies a maximum concentration level of strontium chromate [and so

Introduction
Once coating of large surfaces is completed, the finished part (e.g. aircraft) remains for drying and curing. In some
cases, other, non-spraying, activities like masking or de-masking will be carried out in the same workroom, and
then the following scenario applies. These activities are not conducted daily. For the purpose of the exposure
assessment, it is assumed that frequency is 2 times per week with an average daily duration of 6 hours. However,
most of the time, activities will not be conducted in close proximity (i.e. within one meter distance of the breathing
zone) to the drying/curing part. As a worst-case, the scenario assumes that no LEV is present and no RPE worn.

S6 - ES on Surface Treatment by Brushing (Very Small Parts/Touch-Up)

(Use 2)
Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the industrial surface treatment of articles by touching up small areas, typically
during quality control, maintenance or repair.
An even thickness of a surface treatment containing chromates is applied to the article using a pen-stick or a small
brush.

Purpose-designed pen-sticks (pre-filled with the chromate mixture) and small brushes are supplied with the
surface treatments formulations.
Workers use the pen-stick or small brushes to apply the proprietary surface treatment containing chromates to
small areas.
Chromates Emissions
Residual chromate solution on equipment surfaces and articles/parts might be possible after treatment. Pen-sticks
are specifically designed to minimize exposure and release during use.

• Pen-sticks/small brushes and small cups must be cleaned or disposed after use (see CCST Good Practice
Sheet D8 at this Link).

Exposure Assessment – Surface Treatment by Brushing (Very Small Parts/Touch-Up)

(PROC 10)
Introduction
The usual application method is by spraying. Additionally, for smaller areas, surface treatment is also done by
brushing or touch-up. This may happen indoors and outdoors. For the purpose of this exposure assessment it is
assumed that it takes place daily with 30 min exposure/day on a yearly average. The model also applies a
maximum concentration level of strontium chromate [and so Cr(VI)]. In most cases, the concentration will be
much lower.

S6 - ES on Surface Treatment by Spraying (Large Parts) in a Purpose-

Designed Room and Drying/Self-Curing of Large-Sized Parts (Use 2)
Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the industrial surface treatment of large sized parts by spray application. Parts such
as aircraft, helicopters, wings are sprayed in a specifically designed large paint room or shop.

The spray area is in a purpose designed, closed room. The spray room is maintained under negative pressure when
the system is operating. Workers spray articles using a spray gun inside the room.
The system must have all of the following features:
• Spray operations are carried out within the closed room.
• LEV designed, dimensioned, located and maintained to capture and remove chromates is provided to
efficiently remove chromates from the room.
• Overspray is captured within the room.
• Access to this area is restricted to authorized personnel.
Chromates Emissions
Material containing chromates is released during spray operations. Contamination due to overspray on equipment
surfaces and articles/parts might be possible after spraying.

• Controls are in place to ensure access to the designated room is restricted to authorized personnel when
the plant is operational, including adequate clearance time after completion of a production cycle.
Clearance time should be determined via an appropriate test.
• The restricted zone should be managed through use of physical barriers and signs.
• LEV must be tested regularly and comprehensively to ensure it is operating efficiently.
• Process equipment must be regularly inspected and rinsed to remove residual chromates (see CCST Good
Practice Sheet (GPS) D4 at this Link)
• Implement appropriate measures to prevent cross-contamination from equipment and PPE.
• Provide worker decontamination area, including adequate hygiene facilities. Workers must wash hands
and face before eating, drinking or smoking.
PPE
To minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons accessing the designed room must wear:
• Air-fed respirator /full-face filter mask with P3 filter.
PPE.

All persons with access to the designated room must be instructed about the risks of working with chromates, the
safe way of handling chromates and use of PPE and other control equipment. Workers must be properly trained
and equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed. Adequate supervision must be
provided at all times.

Large sized parts, e.g. aircrafts, helicopters, wings are sprayed in a specifically designed large paint shop with
restricted access. Continuous air ventilation is provided from the roof to the floor, including adequate filter
systems. Full-face respirators with external air supply, gloves and overalls are worn. This activity can be
conducted over a full-shift but then not every day. For the purpose of this exposure assessment, it is assumed that
it takes place daily with 4h exposure/day. The model also applies a maximum concentration level of strontium

B. Exposure Assessment – Drying/Self-Curing of Large Sized Parts (PROC 26)

Introduction
Once coating of large surfaces is completed, the finished part (e.g. aircraft) remains for drying and curing. In some
cases, other, non-spraying, activities like masking or de-masking will be carried out in the same workroom, and
then the following scenario applies. These activities are not conducted daily. For the purpose of the exposure
assessment, it is assumed that frequency is 2 times per week with an average daily duration of 6 hours. However,
most of the time, activities will not be conducted in close proximity (i.e. within one meter distance of the breathing
zone) to the drying/curing part. As a worst-case, the scenario assumes that no LEV is present and no RPE worn.

S6 - ES on Surface Treatment by Brushing/Rolling (Small to Medium

Sized Parts) (Use 2)
Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the industrial surface treatment of articles by brushing small areas (e.g. scratches
and minor damages) with a chromate-based primers and specialty coatings applied by a brush. The process is
manually operated to allow repair to stationary parts that are either difficult to move or disassemble.

Workers use a small brush to apply a surface treatment or primers and specialty coatings containing chromates to
small areas, typically during quality control, maintenance or repair.
The brush application process can be practiced in a closed glove box or not.
The process is typically carried out at room temperature.
Chromates Emissions
There is potential for chromate products to spill during brush operations. Residual chromates remain on equipment
surfaces.

PPE
To minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons carrying out touch up operations must wear:
• Respiratory Protective Equipment, if assessed necessary based on specific task and workplace
measurement results

S6 - ES on Decanting, Mixing and Filling of Guns, Cups or Small

Containers (Use 2)
Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the decanting, mixing and filling of guns, cups or small containers with mixtures
(e.g. primers, slurry coatings) containing chromates.
The container in which the mixture is delivered is opened in a dedicated preparation room or in a spray booth.
The primer or coating is mixed at low speed using an automated or handheld manual tool for a set time to achieve
a high level of consistency. Occasionally, small quantities of other components may be added during this mixing
process. Once adequate consistency is achieved, the primer or coating is filled into paint guns, cups or small
containers. This is typically a manual process using appropriate equipment (e.g. funnel). Application of primers
and other coatings as well as cleaning of equipment is covered in separate CCST Good Practice Sheets (GPS) (see
Link).

• The operation is conducted in a dedicated preparation room or in a spray booth with enhanced ventilation.
• LEV must be provided on the work bench.
• Operations should be designed to minimise the potential for release.
• Adequate protection should be provided to capture spills.
Chromates Emissions
There is potential for spillage during filling of spray guns, cups and containers. Residual chromates on equipment
surfaces is possible.

• LEV must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure full working order.
• Equipment must be regularly inspected. Residual chromates should be carefully removed with a
disposable rag.
• Implement appropriate measures e.g. provision of local cleaning facilities and hazardous waste
management bins to prevent cross-contamination between equipment and PPE to adjacent areas.
PPE
To minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons conducting decanting, mixing and filling of guns, cups
or small containers must wear:
PPE.

All persons conducting decanting, mixing and filling of guns, cups or small containers must be instructed about
the risks of working with chromates, the safe way of handling chromates and use of PPE and other control
equipment. Workers must be properly trained and equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such
duties as needed. Adequate supervision must be available at all times.

S6 - ES on Machining and Sanding (Use 2)

Introduction
Machining operations, such as abrading or grinding or drilling of painted parts, may be carried out on parts that
have been coated with primers or other coatings containing chromates. In such cases, due care is needed to prevent
exposure to the dusts generated, which may contain chromates and other hazardous or flammable components.
Wet processes or on-tool extraction are advised in order to minimise generation of dusts
Drilling is fully automated (e.g. robotic) or semi-automated with on-tool extraction and lubricants or, occasionally,
manual. Manual drilling is conducted with wetting or with dust extraction or both.
Larger scale abrading as surface preparation before painting is carried out in grinding booths which are fully
contained, or on a portable semi-open booth. Abrading tools are equipped with on-tool extraction and a
decontamination area is present at the exit of the cabin.
In case of repairs when there is no possibility to move the repair to a dedicated booth, abrading may be done
directly on the aircraft using wetting or on-tool extraction to remove dust.
Light abrading of small localised areas for the purpose of bonding or for localised re-coating (repair and touch
up) may be carried out manually by means of glass fibre brush and/or dry abrasive paper, e.g. in cabins which are
fully contained booth with laminar down-flow. For small parts, activities may be carried out in a contained dry-
stripping cabin, with LEV or a vacuum hose applied adjacent to the abrading activity. Manual light sanding
equipped with on-tool extraction is used directly on the aircraft (not in a dedicated booth).
This Exposure Scenario covers the following specific machining operations:

1. Machining operations on small to medium sized parts containing Cr(VI) on an extracted bench/extraction
booth including cleaning
2. Machining operations on small to medium sized surfaces containing Cr(VI) on an extracted
bench/extraction booth including cleaning
3. Machining operations in large work areas on parts containing Cr(VI) including cleaning
4. Machining operations in large work areas on surfaces containing Cr(VI) including cleaning
5. Machining operations on parts containing Cr(VI) in small work areas including cleaning
6. Machining operations on surfaces containing Cr(VI) in small work areas including cleaning
7. Sanding of large surfaces containing Cr(VI) in large work areas including cleaning

Parts that are machined have varying dimensions. The process is normally carried out at room temperature.
Machining is generally done at the work station, dedicated paint cabin or hangar using:
• Contained booth.
• Extracted workbench.
• On-tool extraction or wet abrading when the component to be fitted cannot be moved.
• In confined work area (e.g. wing tank) forced ventilation may be used as this also benefits thermal
comfort.
Chromates Emissions
Materials containing chromates may be released during machining operations. Residual chromates on equipment
surfaces and articles/parts might be possible after machining.

Extraction units must be equipped with HEPA filters.
Cleaning equipment to remove residual contamination from the machining process should be conducted under the
same operational conditions and risk management measures as the machining activities.
PPE
To minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons performing machining activities wear:
• Half-face or full face mask with P3 filter for operations with a longer duration of activity.
• Full-face mask with P3 filter with or without air supply in small work areas without any localised control.
• Plastic coverall and full-face mask with P3 filter and air supply during sanding of large surfaces in large
work areas.

relevant information on PPE.

All persons with access to the machining process must be instructed about the risks of working with processes
generating dusts, the safe way of managing waste chromate dusts and use of PPE and other control equipment.
Workers must be properly trained and equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed.
Adequate supervision must be available at all times.

A. Exposure Assessment: Machining Operations on Small to Medium Sized Parts

Containing Cr(VI) on an Extracted Bench/Extraction Booth Including Cleaning
Introduction
During assembly, maintenance and/or repair, small to medium sized solid parts are drilled or cut on a dedicated
work bench fitted with air extraction. Cleaning due to contamination during the machining process is included in
this scenario because it is conducted under the same operational conditions and risk management measures as the
machining activities.
This scenario covers also machining operations with a longer duration of activity but with a higher level of
respiratory protection, e.g. by using a half-mask with P3 filter (APF 30) or a full face mask with P3 filter (APF
400).
The Cr(VI) weight fraction of the part is assumed to be < 0.1 %. In case of lower or higher Cr(VI) content,
estimated exposure would be reduced or increased in a linear way (i.e. 0.5 % concentration in the product would
lead to an increase of the exposure estimate by a factor of 5). If needed, OCs and RMMs could be adjusted for
that different situation.

Measured Data for the WCS

Personal sampling data are available. The activities represent slightly different situations, due to the size of the
parts machined and the type of tools used, as described below. Some variation can be expected from facility to
facility, and the situations described below are considered typical of such activities.
1. Situation: Mechanical treatment of very small parts. The small sample size (n = 3) a does not allow for using
the measured data as the basis for exposure estimation. However, the measured value is presented as
supportive evidence for the appropriateness of model estimates:
Measured exposure (personal sampling, arithmetic mean): 0.05 µg /m³, (90th percentile 0.05 µg/m³), all
measurement results below the detection limit (0.1 µg Cr(VI)/m³). This value does not account for respiratory
protection.
The measured values indicate that the estimated exposure from the ART model (based on the solid material
stone as metal is currently not an available option in ART), which resulted in an exposure estimate of 0.375
µg Cr(VI)/m³ and which accounted for respiratory protection overestimated exposure for this situation by a
factor of 3000.
2. Situation: Mechanical treatment of small to medium sized parts. The small sample size (n = 3) does not allow
for using the measured data as the basis for exposure estimation. However, the measured value is presented
as supportive evidence for the appropriateness of model estimates:
Measured exposure (personal sampling, taking respiratory protection but with a much lower APF into
account, arithmetic mean): 0.27 µg Cr(VI)/m³ (90th percentile 0.28 µg/m³).
The measured values indicate that the estimated exposure from the ART model (based on the solid material
stone as metal is currently not an available option in ART), which resulted in an exposure estimate of 0.375

worker contributing scenario) into account, arithmetic mean): 0.28 µg Cr(VI)/m³ (90th percentile 0.18 µg/m³).
The measured values indicate that the ART model (based on the solid material stone as metal currently is not an
available option in ART), which resulted in an exposure estimate of 0.16 and 0.83 µg Cr(VI)/m³ respectively,
likely produced an overestimation of exposure in both WCS.

S6 - ES on Delivery and Storage of Raw Materials (Use 1 & 2)

Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers activities relating to handling during storage, delivery, dispatch and transportation
of chromates during formulation, surface treatment or plating.
Chromates are used as such or in formulations. Solid chromates are supplied in drums or bags as crystals or flakes.
In case the respective chromate is delivered in bags and not in drums, open bags need to be “overpacked” in a
well labelled appropriately sized liter UN bucket before returning into storage to avoid loss or product degradation.
The chromate is delivered to the site. It is stored in a designated area. It may be removed from the store for dispatch
to the downstream user or transferred to the production plant.

Chromates are very hazardous to human health and the environment. Chromates are strong oxidizers and may
cause fire or explosion depending on the concrete product characteristic. They should be handled and stored
according to the relevant regulatory requirements and the information provided on the Safety Data Sheet.
Adequate facilities and equipment should be provided to ensure the worker is not exposed to chromates and to
avoid spillages or releases to the environment during transfer to and from storage and at the point of storage.
• A dedicated, dry, covered, cool and secure storage area must be provided. Access to the storage area
should be restricted to suitably qualified personnel.
• Keep in the original container. In case of bags, open bags need to be “overpacked”. Containers should
be clearly and adequately labelled according to CLP.
• Keep containers tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be
carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabelled containers.
• Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous.
Chromate Emissions
Chromates are completely contained when stored and transferred correctly. Chromate release may occur on
damaged containers. Residue could occur on previously opened containers/bags.

• In case of accidently damaged drums, bags or containers, the spills or releases must be cleaned. See
CCST Good Practice Sheet D6 (see Link)and Safety Data Sheet for details on accidental release measures
• Restrict access to the storage area to permitted workers only by appropriate measures.
PPE
PPE for normal storage operations, including safeguarding against accidental releases, should be available. This
typically includes:
• Safety shoes.
CCST GPS E1 (see Link) and other sections of this SDS provide relevant information on PPE..

All persons with access to the storage areas must be instructed about the safe way of handling chromate containers
and use of PPE and other control equipment. Workers must be properly trained and equipped to carry out their
duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed. Adequate supervision must be available at all times.
Monitoring

S6 - ES on Solid Waste Management (Use 2)

Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers activities relating to handling of solid waste contaminated with chromates. Solid
waste containing residual chromates may result from normal operations, cleaning activities, decontamination
activities and measures to prevent contamination, such as use of PPE.
Solid waste contaminated with chromates must be managed and disposed according to relevant waste management
regulations.

Solid process waste (empty bags, containers, filters, waste from cleaning activities) must be transferred to and
stored in closed containers. These containers are collected by licensed waste management companies for
treatment, incineration and disposal of incineration residues to contaminated landfill.
Open empty bags are placed in a large bag or other hazardous waste container. A bag-press may be used to
compact the bags within the container.
Containers will be cleaned, re-used if possible, or alternatively sealed, marked as hazardous waste and sent for
disposal by certified disposal companies.
Chromates Emissions
Residual chromates on solid waste could be released as dust during handling.

PPE
To minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons handling solid waste must wear:
• Respiratory Protective Equipment, if assessed necessary based on specific task and workplace
measurement results
CCST Good Practice Sheet E1 (see Link) and other sections of this Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provide relevant
information on PPE.

All persons handling solid waste containing hexavalent chromium must be instructed about the risks of working
with chromates, the safe way of handling chromates and use of PPE and other equipment. Workers must be
properly trained and equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed. Adequate
supervision must be available at all times.
Monitoring
It is expected that disposal of contaminated waste to take place at the time of the chromate use activity or shortly
after (during clean-up). Any monitoring of the chromate use should therefore also capture disposal.

S6 - ES on Cleaning and Maintenance of Equipment (Use 2)

Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers activities relating to the cleaning of equipment after spray activities in a closed
system or in the spray cabin, paint shop or paint mixing room by the worker who conducted spraying.
During spray activities, chromates are used and handled in liquid form. Spray equipment used during handling of
and processing with chromates needs to be cleaned or decontaminated following use. Cleaning activities are
therefore normally carried out directly following spray activities.
Cleaning is normally carried out in the spray cabin, paint shop or paint mixing room or in a dedicated adjacent
area.

Cleaning or decontamination of equipment must be carried out taking care to minimise worker exposure or release
to the environment.
• Walls and the floor of the spray area should be covered with protective masking (paper/film/foil) before
spraying. The masking material is periodically removed to hazardous waste and replaced.
• Tools (e.g. spray guns) may be cleaned with solvent or water in a closed system.
• Tools (e.g. paint guns, brushes) may be cleaned with solvent or water in the spray cabin, paint shop or
paint mixing room.
Chromates Emissions
Following spray activities, there is residual chromate on spray equipment and PPE. There may also be residual
chromate in the spray zone.

• Controls are in place to ensure access to the designated room is restricted to authorized personnel when
the plant is operational, including adequate clearance time after completion of a production cycle.
Clearance time should be determined via an appropriate test.
• The restricted zone should be managed through use of physical barriers and signs.
• Implement appropriate measures e.g. provision of local cleaning facilities and hazardous waste
management bins to prevent cross-contamination from the spray area, spray equipment and PPE to
adjacent areas.
• Provide worker decontamination area, including adequate hygiene facilities. Workers must wash hands
and face before eating, drinking or smoking.
PPE
Typically, the worker maintains the same PPE for cleaning spray equipment as for the spraying activity itself. To
minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons cleaning spray equipment must wear:
• Plastic (chemical resistant) coverall to be worn over work clothes prior to decontamination.
• Respiratory protective equipment.
CCSTGood Practice Sheet E1 (see Link) and other sections of this Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provide relevant
information on PPE.

All persons performing cleaning activities must be instructed about the risks of working with chromates, the safe

S6 - ES on Infrequent Maintenance Activities (Use 2)

Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers less frequent maintenance activities of equipment or tools which may be
contaminated with dust containing hexavalent chromium. For example, this may include maintenance on
equipment such as exhaust systems or the removal and replacement of filters.
It also covers unscheduled access to the equipment to perform maintenance and repair in case of a malfunction.

The equipment design is described in CCST Good Practice Sheet (GPS) series A and C (see Link). Full access to
all components of the plant is required for maintenance, repair and installation. A specific risk assessment and
permit to work system must be in place for all unscheduled maintenance activities.
The process should be in maintenance mode for the duration of these activities.
Chromates Emissions
Chromate residues on equipment surfaces such as filters from paint shops, paint cabins, extracted benches, or
portable vacuum cleaners might be possible. Exposure to chromate dust on equipment surfaces might also be
possible.
Residual material in pumps or pipes could splash or be released under residual pressure. While the process is non-
operational, low levels of airborne aerosols or dusts relating to disturbance of residual chromate cannot be
discounted.

• A permit-to-work system that takes into account specific chemical exposure must be in place for all
maintenance, repair and installation works. Approval for such works must be gained according to the
permit-to-work system.
• Prior to commencing maintenance work, surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned where possible, by
means of wet cleaning and/or with a vacuum filter equipped with HEPA filters. Reducing agents may be
used.
• Replaced parts and components must be cleaned and decontaminated prior to disposal in accordance with
relevant legislation.
• Access control needs to be in place.
PPE
Appropriate PPE must be identified following a risk assessment. To minimize potential exposure to chromates,
persons conducting maintenance work may need to wear:
• Protective vinyl work gloves.
• Safety clothing / anti-static protective boots.
• Disposable plastic (chemical-resistant) coverall to be worn over work clothes.
• At least half-mask with P3 filter.
CCST GPS E1 (see Link) and other sections of this Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provide relevant.

All maintenance persons with access to the equipment must be instructed in the risks from working where
chromates are in use, the safe way of managing chromate exposure and use of PPE and other control equipment.
Workers must be properly trained and equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed.
Adequate supervision must be available at all times.
Monitoring
Adequate monitoring data for planned maintenance activities must be available to evidence that potential exposure
of workers and potential environmental release are maintained to as low as reasonably practicable level.
Monitoring should cover all relevant activities and be carried out at least annually. Downstream users may reduce

CAS No. 7789-06-2

the frequency of measurements once it is demonstrated that exposure of humans and releases to the environment
has been reduced to as low a level as technically and practically possible and that the risk management measures
and operational conditions correspond to the exposure scenarios and function appropriately.

Introduction
Maintenance activities on equipment like the exhaust system or the removal and replacement of filters may need
more time and might create higher exposure potential. As worst case for these activities, the model below provides
exposure estimates for the removal and replacement of filters that is assumed to be conducted one time per month
with a duration up to 4 hours. The model also applies a maximum concentration level of strontium chromate [and
so Cr(VI)]. In most cases, the concentration will be much lower.
