The notified polymer is expected to be stable under normal conditions of use. Physical hazard classification Based on the submitted physico-chemical data depicted in the above table, the notified polymer is not recommended for hazard classification according to the Globally Harmonised System for the Classification and as adopted for industrial chemicals in Australia.

The products containing the notified polymer will be transported by road from the dockside to the notifier’s warehousing facility for storage prior to being distributed to the end–users’ facilities. The notified polymer will be used as a component of paper treatment products for printing applications at 50% ≤ concentration. The notified polymer will be imported as a component of paper treatment products at 50% concentration, ≤ which will be sold to end-users in the same form in which they are imported. The operators at the end use site will unscrew the valve opening and insert a tube into the cartridge. The solution will be pumped directly from the cartridge into the printer. The solution will be deposited on the print head prior to deposition of ink onto the paper surface and will be air-dried prior to the paper leaving the printer. The product will only be used for commercial scale printing and will not be available to the public. HUMAN HEALTH IMPLICATIONS 6.1. Exposure Assessment 6.1.1.
