RAMSET ULTRAFIX PLUS:
■ For benzoyl peroxide:The recommendation for the TLV-TWA is based on the absence of subjective symptoms of irritation of the nose and throat in humans exposed to 5.25 mg/m3. Whether this is sufficiently low to prevent cumulative effects in man is not known.
■ No exposure limits set by NOHSC or ACGIH.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATOR
•Type A-P Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent)
EYE
■ - Safety glasses with side shields.
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens 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].
HANDS/FEET
■ - Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
- Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
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.
OTHER
■ - Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
- Barrier cream.
- Skin cleansing cream.
ENGINEERING 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
that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.
Section 9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Section 10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
CONDITIONS CONTRIBUTING TO INSTABILITY

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
ACUTE HEALTH EFFECTS
SWALLOWED
■ Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
EYE
■ There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause eye irritation and damage in some persons.
SKIN
■ There is some evidence to suggest that this material can cause inflammation of the skin on contact in some persons.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions 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.
INHALED
■ There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to
such irritation can cause further lung damage.
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.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
■ Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general
population.
There has been some concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations but there is not enough data to make an assessment.
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational
exposure.
Based on experience with animal studies, there is a possibility that exposure to the material may result in toxic effects to the
development of the foetus, at levels which do not cause significant toxic effects to the mother.
Prolonged or repeated skin contact with benzoyl peroxide may result in allergic skin reactions even at diluted concentrations.
Ingestion results in abdominal pain, low body oxygen and severe depression. Chronic effects of exposure include allergic
reactions characterised by redness, itching, oozing, crusting, and scaling of the skin and asthmatic wheezing. Although it does
not exhibit complete carcinogenic or tumour-initiating activity, it has been associated with certain tumours of like papillomas
and squamous cell carcinomas.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
■ 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 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.
No significant acute toxicological data identified in literature search.

Section 13 - DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
■ - Containers may still present a chemical hazard/ danger when empty.
- Return to supplier for reuse/ recycling if possible.
Otherwise:- If container can not be cleaned sufficiently well to ensure that residuals do not remain or if the container cannot be used to store the same product, then puncture containers, to prevent re-use, and bury at an authorised landfill.
- Where possible retain label warnings and MSDS and observe all notices pertaining to the product.
- Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
- Consult State Land Waste Authority for disposal.
- Bury or incinerate residue at an approved site.
- Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.
