This fast-acting adhesive sits in the all-purpose glue category and is classified as a highly flammable liquid that demands careful handling and proper ventilation during use. Selleys, a division of DuluxGroup (Australia) Pty Ltd, manufactures this product. It carries product code 103464 with barcode 9300697127822 (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). As a regulated hazardous material, it falls under Dangerous Goods Class 3 and carries a Poison Schedule designation of S5 (Caution), meaning it must be stored locked up and handled according to specific safety protocols (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Understanding the chemical nature and regulatory classification of this adhesive matters for anyone purchasing or using it. These details determine storage requirements, workplace safety measures, and emergency response procedures. ## Chemical Composition & Formulation Fix & Go Multi Grip is a solvent-based adhesive built around three primary volatile organic compounds that work together to deliver instant bonding performance. The formulation contains acetone at 30–60% by weight, ethyl acetate at 10–30% by weight, and n-butyl acetate at 1–10% by weight (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). The balance consists of ingredients determined to be non-hazardous or below reporting limits (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Acetone: primary solvent carrier Acetone (CAS 67-64-1) is the dominant solvent in this formulation, making up to 60% of the product by weight (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). This highly volatile ketone evaporates rapidly, which allows the adhesive to develop tack quickly after application. With a boiling point of 56°C, acetone flashes off fast at room temperature — that speed is what gives this product its fast-acting performance, and also what places it in the highly flammable liquid category. The high acetone content directly shapes the product's hazard profile. Acetone vapour is heavier than air, can travel to distant ignition sources, and is responsible for the narcotic effects warning. Prolonged exposure can cause drowsiness, dizziness, and respiratory tract irritation. ### Ethyl acetate: secondary solvent Ethyl acetate (CAS 141-78-6) at 10–30% by weight evaporates slightly slower than acetone, creating a window where the adhesive stays workable (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). With a boiling point of 77°C, this ester solvent balances immediate tack with brief repositioning time. Ethyl acetate contributes to both the flammability hazard and the product's characteristic sweet, fruity odour. It also drives the eye irritation classification, as ester solvents are known to cause serious discomfort on contact with mucous membranes. ### n-Butyl acetate: evaporation rate modifier The smallest component by volume, n-butyl acetate (CAS 123-86-4) at 1–10%, has the slowest evaporation rate of the three solvents with a boiling point of 126°C (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). This higher-boiling ester prevents the adhesive from drying too rapidly on the surface before substrate contact, which would undermine bond formation. This solvent blend creates a staggered evaporation profile: acetone flashes off first to create initial tack, ethyl acetate provides a brief working window, and n-butyl acetate keeps the film from skinning over prematurely. That chemistry is also why proper ventilation is non-negotiable — all three components release vapours continuously during application and curing. ## Hazard classification & regulatory status Fix & Go Multi Grip is classified as a hazardous material under Safe Work Australia GHS 7 criteria, carrying three distinct hazard classifications that dictate how the product must be stored, handled, and disposed of (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Flammable liquid category 2 The primary hazard is Flammable Liquids — Category 2, assigned hazard statement H225: "Highly flammable liquid and vapour" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). In the Australian Hazchem system, the code "3" in the Hazchem designation indicates that foam is the recommended firefighting medium, not water. Given the acetone content, this product has a flash point well below room temperature, meaning it can ignite from heat, sparks, open flames, or hot surfaces under normal ambient conditions. This classification requires the flame pictogram on all labeling and triggers specific precautionary statements: keep the product away from all ignition sources, ground and bond containers during transfer to prevent static discharge, and use explosion-proof electrical equipment in areas where vapours may accumulate (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Eye irritation category 2A The product carries an Eye Irritation Category 2A classification, meaning it causes reversible eye irritation with effects that fully reverse within 21 days of exposure. Eye irritation results from the combined effect of acetone and ester solvents, which act as defatting agents on the corneal surface and irritants to conjunctival tissue. Solvent vapours alone can cause tearing, redness, and discomfort even without direct liquid contact, which is why eye protection is mandatory during application in enclosed spaces. ### Narcotic effects category 3 The third classification, Specific Target Organ Toxicity (Single Exposure) — Category 3 for narcotic effects, carries hazard statement H336: "May cause drowsiness or dizziness" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). This reflects the central nervous system depression caused by inhaling high concentrations of acetone and ester vapours. Narcotic effects begin with headache and dizziness, progressing to drowsiness, lack of coordination, and impaired judgment at higher exposures. Symptoms typically resolve once exposure ceases and fresh air is breathed, but they present a real safety risk during use — particularly when working at heights or operating machinery. This classification mandates the health hazard pictogram and requires use "only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Transport classification As a Dangerous Good, Fix & Go Multi Grip is classified under Class 3 (Flammable Liquids) for transport by road, rail, air, and sea according to Australian and New Zealand dangerous goods codes (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). The assigned Hazchem Code is 3Y, which communicates emergency response information to first responders (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). The "Y" in the Hazchem Code indicates that breathing apparatus is required for emergency responders and that the substance may be diluted and washed to drain for spillage control. This classification means the product cannot be shipped via standard postal services and requires compliant packaging, labeling, and documentation when transported. ## Personal protective equipment requirements The product's hazard profile mandates specific personal protective equipment to prevent exposure during handling and application (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Precautionary statement P280 requires users to "Wear protective gloves/protective clothing including eye/face protection and suitable respirator" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Hand protection Chemical-resistant gloves are essential. Nitrile rubber is identified as suitable for intermittent contact (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). The safety data notes that "due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the user should make a final assessment" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf) — a reasonable caveat, because acetone and ester solvents can permeate many glove materials over time. Nitrile gloves provide adequate breakthrough time for brief applications, but prolonged or repeated contact requires thicker chemical-resistant gloves or frequent glove changes. Latex and PVC gloves offer poor resistance to these solvents and must not be used. Inspect gloves before each use and discard any showing softening, swelling, or breakthrough. ### Eye and face protection Chemical goggles are specified, not safety glasses (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). That distinction matters. Safety glasses with side shields do not protect adequately against solvent splashes or vapours. Chemical goggles with indirect ventilation seal around the eyes, blocking both liquid contact and vapour accumulation. Face shields provide supplementary protection when applying the adhesive overhead or where splashing is likely, but they do not replace chemical goggles as the primary eye protection. ### Respiratory protection A "suitable respirator" is required when working in areas where adequate ventilation cannot be achieved (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Precautionary statement P271 specifies the product should be used "only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf), making respiratory protection the essential backup control when ventilation falls short. For acetone and ester vapours, a respirator with organic vapour cartridges (Type A under Australian standards) is the right choice. Half-face respirators work well for brief applications; full-face respirators deliver both respiratory and eye protection for extended use. Respirator selection must account for vapour concentration and exposure duration, and users must be fit-tested and trained in proper donning, use, and maintenance. ### Additional protective clothing Safety shoes and overalls protect skin from accidental spills and prevent contamination of personal clothing (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Solvent-resistant aprons add further protection when handling larger quantities or transferring the adhesive between containers. The safety data is clear: users must "always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet" and "wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storing or re-using" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). These hygiene practices prevent secondary exposure and stop solvents from reaching food, beverages, or mucous membranes. ## Storage requirements & handling precautions Fix & Go Multi Grip's regulatory classification sets firm storage and handling requirements to keep fire risk low and prevent unauthorised access. ### Storage location and ventilation The product must be "stored locked up" under precautionary statement P405 (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). This requirement flows from its S5 Poison Schedule designation and Dangerous Goods Class 3 classification, mandating a secure location inaccessible to children and unauthorised persons. Storage areas must be well-ventilated per statement P403+P233: "Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Adequate ventilation prevents vapour accumulation, which could create an explosive atmosphere or cause narcotic effects in personnel entering the storage area. Mechanical ventilation must provide air changes sufficient to keep vapour concentrations below flammable limits. Temperature control is specified under P403+P235: "Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Higher temperatures increase vapour pressure, raising flammable vapour concentrations and fire risk. Storage areas must be maintained below 25°C and protected from direct sunlight, which can cause container expansion and pressure buildup. ### Container integrity Containers must remain tightly closed when not in use to prevent vapour release and maintain product viability (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). The 50ml package size helps here compared to larger containers, as less time is needed to dispense the product. Even so, ensure caps are fully seated and threads are clean before storage to prevent solvent evaporation and container hardening. ### Separation requirements Keep the product away from heat, sparks, open flames, and hot surfaces, with no smoking in storage areas (P210) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). This extends to electrical equipment: explosion-proof electrical, ventilating, and lighting equipment is required in areas where flammable vapours may be present (P241) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Use non-sparking tools when opening containers or working with the product (P242), and take measures to prevent static discharges (P243) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Static electricity can accumulate during pouring or in low-humidity environments, creating a sufficient ignition source for flammable vapours. Ground and bond containers and receiving equipment during transfer (P240) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Handling precautions Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapours, or spray during handling (P261) and wash hands, face, and all exposed skin thoroughly after handling (P264) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). These precautions reduce both acute exposure to narcotic vapours and ongoing dermal contact with defatting solvents. Keep product containers or labels at hand if medical advice is needed (P101) — chemical identity information and CAS numbers allow medical professionals to identify the right treatment protocol quickly (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ## Emergency response procedures ### Inhalation exposure If a person inhales Fix & Go Multi Grip vapours, remove them from exposure immediately, taking care that rescuers do not become casualties themselves (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Vapour concentrations that cause drowsiness or unconsciousness in the victim can affect rescuers entering the same space. Remove contaminated clothing, loosen remaining clothing, and allow the patient to assume the most comfortable position while keeping them warm and at rest until fully recovered (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Seek medical advice if effects persist, as prolonged acetone exposure can cause respiratory tract irritation beyond the immediate narcotic effects. Precautionary statement P304+P340 — "IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing" — establishes the minimum response (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Statement P312 — "Call a POISON CENTER/doctor if you feel unwell" — provides clear guidance on when to escalate care (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Skin contact For skin or hair contact, remove contaminated clothing immediately and flush affected areas with running water (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Precautionary statement P303+P361+P353 reinforces this: "IF ON SKIN (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). The safety data distinguishes between minor contact and gross contamination. For gross contamination, drench the affected person with water immediately and remove all clothing, continuing to flush skin and hair with plenty of water and adding soap if the material is insoluble (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). If the product causes skin burns, cover the affected area with a clean, dry dressing until medical help is available, and do not break any blisters that form (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Seek medical assistance if swelling, redness, blistering, or irritation occurs (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Eye contact Eye exposure requires immediate action given the H319 classification for serious eye irritation. Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes continuously with running water (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Continue flushing until advised to stop by the Poisons Information Centre or a doctor, or for at least 15 minutes, then transport the person to a doctor or hospital (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Precautionary statement P305+P351+P338 gives step-by-step guidance: "IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing" (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Contact lens removal is specified because lenses can trap solvents against the corneal surface, prolonging exposure and worsening damage. If eye irritation persists after flushing, obtain medical advice or attention (P337+P313) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Persistent irritation may indicate corneal abrasion or chemical keratitis requiring ophthalmological assessment. ### Ingestion If the product is swallowed, rinse the mouth with water but do not induce vomiting (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Inducing vomiting raises the risk of aspiration — if solvent-containing material enters the lungs, it can cause chemical pneumonitis, a severe and potentially fatal complication. Give the victim a glass of water to drink, with additional water if vomiting occurs spontaneously (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious patient (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Seek medical advice for all ingestion incidents. ### Poison information centre contact For all poisoning incidents, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Contact numbers are available for Australia (131 126) and New Zealand (0800 764 766) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Keep the product container or label at hand when seeking medical advice — the chemical composition and CAS numbers allow medical professionals to identify the right treatment protocol without delay (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Medical treatment is symptomatic. There is no specific antidote for acetone or ester solvent exposure (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ## Fire safety & suppression The Dangerous Goods Class 3 classification and Hazchem Code 3Y establish clear firefighting protocols for Fix & Go Multi Grip incidents (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). ### Suitable extinguishing media The Hazchem Code for this product is 3Y. The "3" indicates that foam is the recommended firefighting medium (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Dry chemical powder and carbon dioxide can also suppress flames involving this product. The right choice depends on the size and nature of the fire and surrounding materials. For small fires involving only the adhesive, dry chemical or CO₂ extinguishers provide rapid knockdown without spreading the flammable liquid. For larger fires or those involving other combustibles, foam prevents re-ignition and cools adjacent materials to stop fire spread. ### Firefighter protection The Hazchem Code "Y" mandates that firefighters wear breathing apparatus when responding to incidents involving this product (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Combustion of acetone and ester solvents produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other toxic gases that present inhalation hazards beyond the immediate flames. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive-pressure mode is required for firefighters entering areas where Fix & Go Multi Grip is burning or where vapours have accumulated. Full structural firefighting gear provides appropriate thermal protection, while chemical-resistant gloves protect against contact with unburned product during firefighting operations. ### Fire spread prevention Flammable vapours produced by Fix & Go Multi Grip are heavier than air and can travel considerable distances to ignition sources (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Container rupture from fire exposure can project burning liquid or create firebrands that spread fire to other areas. Emergency responders must establish perimeters that account for vapour travel and potential container failure. Apply cooling water to containers exposed to fire heat to prevent pressure buildup and catastrophic failure. Remove containers from the fire area if this can be done safely, recognising that heated containers may rupture violently even after flames are extinguished. ## Disposal requirements Fix & Go Multi Grip must be disposed of in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations (P501) (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). This requirement reflects the product's classification as both a hazardous material and a Dangerous Good, which prohibits disposal through standard household waste streams. ### Regulatory compliance As a Dangerous Goods Class 3 material containing flammable solvents at high concentrations, this product requires disposal through licensed hazardous waste facilities capable of handling ignitable wastes. The acetone, ethyl acetate, and n-butyl acetate components are classified as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) subject to environmental protection regulations governing air emissions and waste disposal. Both full containers and empty containers that previously held the adhesive must be managed as hazardous waste. Empty containers retain solvent residues and vapours, maintaining their flammability and hazard classification until properly cleaned or disposed of through the right channels. ### Container disposal The safety data specifies disposal of both "contents" and "container" under the same regulatory framework (SELLEYS_FIX_GO_MULTI_GRIP-AUS_GHS.pdf). Containers cannot be repurposed for food, beverage, or other consumer uses even after apparent emptying, as solvent residues persist in the container walls and threads. Return used containers to the retailer or manufacturer for proper disposal where such programs exist, or deliver them to household hazardous waste collection events run by local councils. In commercial or industrial settings, add containers to bulk hazardous waste accumulation areas and manifest them for disposal through licensed transporters and treatment facilities. ## References -

Selleys is a household and trade adhesives brand operating as a division of DuluxGroup (Australia) Pty Ltd — a company better known for paints and coatings, but with a substantial adhesives and sealants portfolio sold under the Selleys name. Within that portfolio, the Fix & Go Multi Grip occupies the general-purpose, everyday-repair segment: it is positioned as a fast-drying, clear-drying contact adhesive suited to light repairs and crafts rather than heavy structural bonding. The product's solvent-based chemistry — a blend of acetone, ethyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone — gives it the broad substrate compatibility that defines the "multi-grip" positioning. It bonds fabric, paper, wood, and ceramics, as well as most plastics, with the explicit exception of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). This places it in a different segment from specialty adhesives formulated for a single material (such as dedicated fabric glues or ceramic repair epoxies), but also below heavy-duty structural adhesives intended for load-bearing joints. Because the product is highly flammable and classified as hazardous under Safe Work Australia GHS 7 criteria, anyone purchasing it should also consider appropriate **safety equipment** as a practical companion purchase: solvent-resistant gloves and safety glasses are explicitly recommended in the product's safety data. Adequate ventilation is essential, so buyers working indoors may want to plan around open windows or a fume-extraction fan. For surface preparation — particularly on wood or ceramics where dust or grease could undermine adhesion — a compatible surface cleaner or light abrasive is a sensible use-case adjacent purchase, though no specific Selleys preparation product is named in the available product data. The 50ml container format positions this as a consumer-scale pack suited to occasional household use rather than trade or volume applications. Buyers with larger or more frequent bonding requirements would typically look to larger pack sizes within the same range, though no specific larger-format siblings are identified in the current knowledge graph context.
