Melbourne VIC 3004 has submitted a standard notification statement in support of their
application for an assessment certificate for Ulti-Pro® 100. The notified chemical is
intended to be used as a component of rubber products. The notified chemical will be added
to rubber together with other components in a mixing vessel. Following mixing the rubber
will be processed into tyres and conveyer belts. Less than 30 tonnes of the notified chemical
will be imported per annum for each of the first five years.
Hazard Assessment
Based on the available data, the notified chemical is classified as a hazardous substance in
accordance with the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances and is assigned
the risk phrases:
R38 Irritating to skin.
R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes.
R43 May cause sensitisation by skin contact.
Occupational Health and Safety
Under the conditions of the occupational settings described, the risk to workers is considered
to be unacceptable due to the hazardous nature of the notified chemical and in particular it’s
potential to cause irreversible eye damage. As a result additions to the rubber mixer should
only be conducted using mechanical aids (see recommendations section).
Public Health
There is No Significant Concern to public health when used as described.
Environmental Effects
The chemical is not considered to pose an unacceptable risk to the environment based on its
reported use pattern.
Recommendations
Regulatory Controls
Hazard Classification and Labelling
The Office of the ASCC, Department of Employment and Workplace Relations
(DEWR), should consider the following health hazard classification for the notified
chemical:
R38 Irritating to skin.
R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes.

surveillance for any worker who has been identified in the workplace risk assessment
as having a significant risk of sensitisation.
Control Measures
Occupational Health and Safety
Employers should implement the following engineering controls to minimise
occupational exposure to the notified chemical as introduced:
The notified chemical should be transferred from import containers to the mixer
containing rubber and other components by mechanical means and specifically not
by manual handling
Employers should ensure that the following personal protective equipment is used by
workers to minimise occupational exposure to the notified chemical as introduced
when transferring the notified chemical to a mixing vessel:
Safety goggles or face shield, impervious gloves and protective clothing
Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian,
Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards.

obligations to notify NICNAS when any of these circumstances change. These obligations
apply even when the notified chemical is listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical
Substances (AICS).
Therefore, the Director of NICNAS must be notified in writing within 28 days by the notifier,
other importer or manufacturer:
(1) Under Section 64(1) of the Act; if
the notified chemical is imported in solid form;
the notified chemical is imported at concentrations ≥ 10%;
or
(2) Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if
the function or use of the chemical has changed from a preservative of water-
based paints at < 0.1% concentration, or is likely to change significantly;
the amount of chemical being introduced has increased from 20 tonnes/annum, or
is likely to increase, significantly;
the chemical has begun to be manufactured in Australia;
the method of manufacture of the chemical in Australia has changed, or is likely
to change, in a way that may result in an increased risk of an adverse effect of the
chemical on occupational health and safety, public health, or the environment;
additional information has become available to the person as to an adverse effect
of the chemical on occupational health and safety, public health, or the
environment.

annum for each of the first five years.
Hazard Assessment
No toxicological data were submitted. The notified polymer meets the PLC criteria and can
therefore be considered to be of low hazard.
Occupational Health and Safety
Under the conditions of the occupational settings described, the notified polymer is not
considered to pose an unacceptable risk to the health of workers.
Public Health
When used in the proposed manner, the notified polymer is not considered to pose an
unacceptable risk to public health.
Environmental Effects
The polymer is not expected to pose a risk to the environment based on its reported use
pattern.
Recommendations
Control Measures
Occupational Health and Safety
No specific engineering controls, work practices or personal protective equipment are
required for the safe use of the notified polymer itself, however, these should be
selected on the basis of all ingredients in the formulation.
Guidance in selection of personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian,
Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards.
A copy of the MSDS should be easily accessible to employees.
If products and mixtures containing the notified polymer are classified as hazardous to
health in accordance with the NOHSC Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous
Substances, workplace practices and control procedures consistent with provisions of
State and Territory hazardous substances legislation must be in operation.

Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 04, 05 April 2011
Environment
The following control measures should be implemented by the importer and end user
to minimise environmental exposure during storage, formulation and use of the
notified polymer:
bunding
Disposal
The notified polymer should be disposed of to landfill.
Emergency procedures
Spills and/or accidental release of the notified polymer should be handled by physical
containment, collection and subsequent safe disposal.
Regulatory Obligations
Secondary Notification
This risk assessment is based on the information available at the time of notification. The
Director may call for the reassessment of the chemical under secondary notification
provisions based on changes in certain circumstances. Under Section 64 of the Industrial
Chemicals (Notification and Assessment) Act (1989) the notifier, as well as any other
importer or manufacturer of the notified chemical, have post-assessment regulatory
obligations to notify NICNAS when any of these circumstances change. These obligations
apply even when the notified chemical is listed on the Australian Inventory of Chemical
Substances (AICS).
Therefore, the Director of NICNAS must be notified in writing within 28 days by the notifier,
other importer or manufacturer:
(1) Under Section 64(1) of the Act; if
the notified polymer is introduced in a chemical form that does not meet the PLC
criteria.
or
(2) Under Section 64(2) of the Act; if
the function or use of the chemical has changed from a component of a laminating
adhesive, or is likely to change significantly;
the amount of notified polymer being introduced has increased, or is likely to
increase, significantly;
the chemical has begun to be manufactured in Australia;
additional information has become available to the person as to an adverse effect
of the chemical on occupational health and safety, public health, or the
environment.
43
Chemical Gazette Commonwealth of Australia Gazette
No. C 04, 05 April 2011
The Director will then decide whether a reassessment (i.e. a secondary notification and
