Not applicable for sealed, intact cartridge. Pyrotechnic charge: Due to the low volatility, inhalation at room temperature is improbable. In the case of inhalation of aerosol/mist seek medical attention. Not applicable for sealed, intact cartridge. Pyrotechnic charge: Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water. Seek medical attention. Not applicable for sealed, intact cartridge. Pyrotechnic charge: Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. If skin irritation persists seek medical attention. Not applicable for sealed, intact cartridge. Pyrotechnic charge: Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Eye wash and normal washroom facilities.
Advice to Doctor
Treat symptomatically.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable Extinguishing Media Hazards from Combustion Products Specific Hazards Decomposition Temp. Precautions in connection with Fire
Print Date: 28/05/2008
Use fire extinguisher suitable for surrounding environment. Toxic and/or irritating gases that may be emitted by explosion include carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. A trace amount of lead originating from the priming composition will be released. After the ignition of the cartridge the explosion will take place very quickly. 165°C (dangerous ingredients) Fire-fighters should wear full protective clothing and self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure mode. Fire near the storage area: Evacuate the danger area, spray storage area and CS: 1.4.22

Product Name :HILTI DX CARTRIDGES container with water. Fire in the storage area: Evacuate the danger area, fight the fire from a safe distance and spray the non ignited article to cool them. Burning of large quantities may accelerate to detonation. Inform the emergency services of the nature of the product.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Emergency Procedures
Protect the vicinity by excluding the public and all unprotected personnel. Raise awareness to the risk of ignition. Employ signage and inform the police. The location of the spillage has to be cleaned. Do not use tools to gather scattered cargo. Gather by hand only and forward to authorised disposal personnel. Exposed explosives must be carefully wiped up and desensitised in a specially marked container of water. If the spillage enters the waterways contact the EPA, or your local water authority. Dispose of waste according to applicable local and national regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling
Conditions for Safe Storage
Keep away from heat and ignition sources, and ensure good ventilation. Do not open cartridges with thermal or mechanical force, or subject them to impact, as this risks ignition. Ensure a high level of personal hygiene is maintained by washing hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities. Intended for use only with power actuated tools. Cartridges should only be handled by qualified persons. Delivery must be in closed original packaging. Store in a well ventilated area away from sources of ignition. Optimal storage temperature 20°C. To be stored in original packages at temperatures from -20°C to +40°C and in rooms protected from moisture. Short term storage from -40°C to +45°C is possible. Do not store together with incompatible and flammable substances. For information on the design of the storeroom reference should be made to Australian Standard AS 2187.1-1998 Explosives - Storage, transport and use - Storage. Reference should also be made to relevant Commonwealth, State or Territory regulations.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION National Exposure Standards
Engineering Controls Respiratory Protection
Eye Protection
Print Date: 28/05/2008
No value is assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission (NOHSC) Australia, however the available exposure limits on the ingredients as provided by NOHSC are as follows: Substance TWA STEL ppm mg/m³ ppm mg/m³ Nitroglycerin (NG) 0.05 0.46 Diphenylamine 10 TWA (Time Weighted Average): The average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour working day, for a five-day week. STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit): The average airborne concentration over a 15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal eight-hour workday. In case of release of internal contents ensure sufficient ventilation to maintain airborne concentrations below exposure limits and prevent exposure to dusts. If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then an approved respirator with a replaceable vapour/mist filter should be used. Reference should be made to Australian/New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 1715, Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary changes for individual circumstances. Internal powder should not become airborne unless cartridge is intentionally tampered with or accidentally broken open. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full-face shield as appropriate recommended. Final choice of appropriate eye/face protection will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or engineering controls and according to risk assessments undertaken. Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 - Eye Protectors for CS: 1.4.22

Body Protection
Industrial Applications. Wear gloves of impervious material. Final choice of appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. Reference should be made to AS/NZS 2161.1: Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance. Wear appropriate clothing including chemical resistant apron where clothing is likely to be contaminated. It is advisable that a local supplier of personal protective clothing is consulted regarding the choice of material. Care should be taken to avoid contact with the skin should cartridge be opened and internal product exposed.

Reproductive Toxicity
LD50 (Dermal, Rabbit) : > 280 mg/kg No likely effects as dangerous ingredients are contained within a sealed cartridge. Internal powder is very toxic if inhaled. No likely effects as dangerous ingredients are contained within a sealed cartridge. Internal powder is very toxic if swallowed. Following a toxic ingestion, nitroglycerin can cause respiratory difficulties, hypoxia, and death due to respiratory paralysis. No likely effects as dangerous ingredients are contained within a sealed cartridge. NOHSC Australia indicates that absorption of the nitroglycerin component through the skin may be a significant source of exposure. No likely effects as dangerous ingredients are contained within a sealed cartridge. Miosis and corneal damage resulted from intravenous exposure to nitroglycerin. No likely effects as dangerous ingredients are contained within a sealed cartridge. Chronic poisoning of Nitroglycerin may cause severe headache, hallucinations, contact dermatitis, and allergic contact dermatitis (skin sensitization). Digestive troubles, tremors, neuralgia, severe headache, hallucinations, and skin rashes can occur with chronic nitroglycerin poisoning. The lead styphnate component of this product is classified as a Category 1 substance toxic to reproduction according to Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC:1008(2004)].
