PURITY OF THE CHEMICAL Degree of Purity: 96 98% – Toxic or Hazardous Impurities: o-xylene Chemical name: 1330-30-7 CAS No.: < 0.1% Weight percentage: toxic by ingestion an inhalation Toxic or hazardous an experimental teratogen (1) properties: explosive in the form of vapour when exposed to heat or flame; when heated to decomposition acrid smoke and irritating fumes are given off (1) Impurities: 5,7,5’,7’-tetra-terbutyl-3-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)- Chemical name: 3H,3’H-[3,3’H-]bi-benzofuranyl-2,2’-dione - CAS No.: 0.7% Weight percentage: Unknown Impurities (> 1% by weight): 1.4% (seven detected) Additives/Adjuvants: none USE, VOLUME AND FORMULATION The notified chemical will not be manufactured in Australia. CG 33-1136/TKA will be imported in powder form, at a concentration `of approximately 98% as HP 136, and will be used as an additive to impart improved resistance to oxidation and better flow characteristics. The applications will be mainly for polyolefins and to a lesser extent for polycarbonates, styrenics, elastomers and adhesives. The notified chemical will also be imported as a component of the Irganox HP range of products, which typically contain approximately 15% by weight of HP-136. It is estimated that 2 to 5 tonnes per annum of the notified chemical will be imported in the
