Acetic acid Chemical Name 64-19-7 0.23-0.26%* CAS No. Weight % Hazardous: Hazardous Properties R35: causes severe R10 Flammable (on the 1999a)) List for Designated Hazardous Substances * Impurities determined by GC/MS ADDITIVES/ADJUVANTS None INTRODUCTION AND USE INFORMATION MODE INTRODUCTION NOTIFIED CHEMICAL (100%) OVER NEXT 5 OF OF The notified chemical will not be manufactured in Australia. It will be imported as a minor ingredient in silicone caulking compounds (GE Silicone rubber compound CRTV1488), containing up to 0.6% of the notified chemical. MAXIMUM INTRODUCTION VOLUME NOTIFIED CHEMICAL (100%) OVER NEXT 5 YEARS OF Year 1 2 3 4 5 2-4 4-8 4-8 4-8 4-8 Tonnes USE The notified chemical will be used as a curing/cross linking agent (catalyst) in acetoxy silicone sealants (CRTV1488) at concentrations of 0.45% to 0.6 %. It becomes part of the polymer matrix during curing, rapidly becoming a curing rubber. The product (sealant) will be used for sealing and weather proofing buildings, glazing, roofing, rainwater and cladding joints. PROCESS AND RELEASE INFORMATION Distribution, Transport and Storage PORT ENTRY OF Not provided IDENTITY MANUFACTURER/RECIPIENTS OF The notified chemical will be transported directly from wharf or GE warehouse to the packing plants. TRANSPORTATION PACKAGING AND The notified chemical will be imported already packaged in airtight dispensing tubes (cartridges), or in lined 200 kg drums for packing into cartridges Operation Description Packaging The packaging process is a closed and automatic system so that no air (and thus moisture) comes into contact with the paste. The caulking paste will be transferred from the lined 200 kg drums via pneumatic ram and lift pump to the automatic filling machines. In the filling machine, the cartridge tube is automatically filled and then sealed to prevent the entry of air and moisture. The cartridges are packed into cartons and stored until customers require them. End use
