Teratogenicity: The data available for an assessment of the effect of the substance on developmental toxicity are not sufficient for a proper evaluation. Genotoxicity: The chemical structure does not suggest a specific alert for such an effect. The product has not been tested. The statement has been derived from the properties of the individual Signs and symptoms of overexposure: No significant reaction of the human body to the product known. Potential environmental effects Aquatic toxicity: No data can be given due to the product's insolubility in water. 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients Not WHMIS controlled. 4. First-Aid Measures General advice: Immediately remove contaminated clothing. If inhaled: Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. Seek medical attention. If on skin: Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention. If in eyes: Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. If swallowed: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention if necessary. Note to physician Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Flash point: > 100 C (DIN 51758) Autoignition: > 200 C (DIN 51794) Lower explosion limit: As a result of our experience with this product and our knowledge of its composition we do not expect any hazard as long as the product is used appropriately and in accordance with the intended use.

3 Revision date : 2015/02/13 Page: 3/7 Upper explosion limit: Flammability: Self-ignition temperature: Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, dry powder, foam As a result of our experience with this product and our knowledge of its composition we do not expect any hazard as long as the product is used appropriately and in accordance with the intended use. not self-igniting Hazards during fire-fighting: harmful vapours Evolution of fumes/fog. The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Use personal protective clothing. Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Cleanup: Spills should be contained, solidified, and placed in suitable containers for disposal. For small amounts: Pick up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder).
