Australia So Much to See

NapiSan (Vanish) Oxy Action and other varieties of NapiSan select from product list. These use disodium carbonate, a very similar compound to sodium percarbonate, less than 34% and have other additives to enhance laundry use, which are not needed for toilet use.

Also purpose-made toilet chemicals using Sodium Percarbonate as the main active ingredient:

Odour B Gone Sodium Percarbonate

Eco Traveller ProTreat Sodium Carbonate and Sodium Percarbonate

Community Co Loads Cleaner Oxy Action

(sold through Metcash stores such as IGA)

Sodium Percarbonate 28%. SDS not available.

MSDS (now called SDS) for laundry products with suitable quantities of Sodium Percarbonate

MSDS (now called SDS) for some other products sold for use in portable toilets with main active ingredient shown where published

Bio Magic A mixture of organic salts in aqueous (water-based) solution (proprietary formula)

Chemtech Portasol Benzyl C12-14 Alkyldimethylammonium Chloride and Glutaraldehyde

Taren Cleaning Supplies - Alkyl Dimethyl Benzyl Ammnonium Chloride

Noflex (long acting granules) Sodium Percarbonate

Solbio Natural Organic coconut oil soap, plant extracts, citric acid, essential oils of eucalyptus, mint and pine oil, made to break down the solids like sodium percarbonate does, rather than pacts reservation like the chemical toilets treatments.

SCA Portable Toilet Chemical - from Supercheap Auto stores contains Quarternary Ammonium Compounds such as Dimethyl Benzyl Ammonium Chloride as above. I have been unable to source an MSDS.

Thetford products: Thetford claim their toilet chemicals sold in Australia no longer contain Formaldehyde or Bronopol, but do not make their MSDS public. Further information is not forthcoming for "protection of their formula".

EnviroPro Ingredients not disclosed and has "no data" about most aspects on latest MSDS. They claim it to be environmentally safe, and "End product is safe to dispose in septic systems". It does carry the warming "DO NOT discharge into sewer or waterways"

Walex products:

Unlike the previous SDS, some of the most recent SDS do not give details of hazardous decomposition, which identified the chemicals released, with minor components only named on these SDS. Other components consisting of 50-60% of the total composition are considered trade secrets and are being excluded from disclosure. Read the hazards on the links to each SDS. Due to constant changes, names of products on the shelf may not exactly match these names.
