2 Component CAS-No Weight % Acetate, magnesium, tetrahydrate First-aid measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Inhalation Ingestion Most important symptoms and effects Notes to Physician Suitable Extinguishing Media Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Flash Point Method - Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.. Treat symptomatically 5. Fire-fighting measures Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Autoignition Temperature Explosion Limits Upper Lower Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact Sensitivity to Static Discharge Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical Dust can form an explosive mixture in air. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition. Hazardous Combustion Products Carbon monoxide (CO) Carbon dioxide (CO2) Magnesium oxides Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. NFPA Health 1 Flammability 1 Instability 1 Physical hazards N/A Personal Precautions Environmental Precautions 6. Accidental release measures Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid release to the environment. Methods for Containment and Clean Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust Up formation. 7. Handling and storage Page 2 / 6

3 Handling Storage Exposure Guidelines Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. 8. Exposure controls / personal protection This product does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limitsestablished by the region specific regulatory bodies. Engineering Measures Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Personal Protective Equipment Eye/face Protection Skin and body protection Respiratory Protection Hygiene Measures Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR or European Standard EN166. Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure. Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. 9.
