2 2 7 ************************ IV - HEALTH EFFECTS INFORMATION **************************** PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY - SKIN CONTACT X INHALATION EYE CONTACT X INGESTION EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE Based upon animal toxicity information available for this material, it is anticipated that ingestion and prolonged skin contact with the product will be harmful. Direct eye contact can produce irritation. Long term overexposure to this material may produce serious harmful effects. No information found for human overexposure. OVEREXPOSURE MAY AGGRAVATE EXISTING CONDITIONS: No effects indicated. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Hold eyelids apart to ensure rinsing of the entire surface of the eyes and lids with water. Get immediate medical attention. Skin: Wash affected areas with plenty of water, and soap if available, for several minutes. Remove and clean contaminated clothing and shoes. Seek medical attention if irritation develops. Ingestion: If swallowed, give 3-4 glasses of water but DO NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting does occur, give fluids again. Get medical attention to determine whether vomiting or evacuation of stomach is necessary. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Inhalation: Remove from area to fresh air. Seek medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or if breathing becomes difficult. CHEMICALS LISTED AS CARCINOGEN BY: NATIONAL TOXICOLOGY PROGRAM - No I.A.R.C. MONOGRAPHS - No OSHA - No ************************** V - REACTIVITY INFORMATION ****************************** STABILITY: STABLE X CONDITIONS TO AVOID UNSTABLE Light, heat(product darkens with time when exposed to light and heat. No exotherm observed at 280 C)

3 3 7 ******************* V - REACTIVITY INFORMATION (continued)************************* HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS Thermal decomposition may produce toxic organic vapors/fumes and oxides of carbon and nitrogen. HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION CONDITIONS TO AVOID MAY WILL NOT X OCCUR OCCUR INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID) WATER OTHER X Oxidizing agents ********************** VI - SPILL AND DISPOSAL INFORMATION ************************* STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE OF MATERIAL SPILL OR RELEASE CAUTION! If spilled, wet floors may become slippery. Wear appropriate protective gear and respiratory protection where dusts or airborne particulates of unknown concentrations may be generated (self-contained breathing apparatus preferred for large spills). Dike and contain spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer the liquid and solid separately to containers for recovery or disposal. Keep spill out of sewers and open bodies of water. WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS Dispose of in compliance with all Federal, state and local laws and regulations. Incineration is the preferred method. ********************** VII - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION *********************** ENGINEERING CONTROLS In processes where mists or vapors may be generated, proper ventilation must be provided in accordance with good ventilation practices. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION In processes where mists or vapors may be generated, a NIOSH approved respirator is advised in the absence of proper environmental controls. PROTECTIVE GLOVES Rubber or neoprene, when needed, to prevent skin contact.

4 4 7 **************** VII - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION (continued)****************** EYE PROTECTION Wear chemical goggles where there is a potential for eye contact. Use safety glasses with side shields under normal use conditions. OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Eye wash; safety shower; protective clothing (long sleeves, coveralls or other, as appropriate), when needed, to prevent skin contact. *************************** VIII - STORAGE AND HANDLING **************************** PRECAUTIONS FOR STORAGE AND HANDLING: Keep containers closed until used. To maintain product quality, do not store in heat or in light. Product has a minimum of one year stability if stored in the dark at or below room temperature. ******************* IX - TOXICOLOGY & ECOTOXICITY INFORMATION ********************** TOXICITY ACUTE - oral LD 50 (rat): mg/kg - dermal LD 50 (rat, 24-hour): >2000 mg/kg - dermal LD 50 (rabbit): >2000 mg/kg - eye irritation (rabbit): Irritant. - skin irritation (rabbit - 24 hour exposure): Not an irritant. - skin sensitization(guinea pig): Not sensitizing. ****************** IX - TOXICOLOGY & ECOTOXICITY INFORMATION (continued)************ GENOTOXIC/MUTAGENIC - Ames test (salmonella sp.): Mutagen with or without metabolic activation. - unscheduled DNA synthesis (in vitro rat hepatocytes): Not mutagenic. - gene mutation (in vitro mammalian cell): Mutagenic. - micronucleus test (in vivo mouse): Not clastogenic.
