Additional information is available through the relevant Safety Data Sheet, which should be consulted before use of the chemical. Pigment Green 7 is mainly used as Colorant/organic pigment in Industrial Performance Chemicals, Paints, lacquers and varnishes industry, Polymers industry, Printing Inks Industry. CHEMICAL IDENTITY Name: Pigment Green 7 Chemical Name (IUPAC) : Copper Phthalocyanine Green 7 Colour Index Name: C.I. Pigment Green 7 EC Number: C.I.Number: CAS Number: Molecular Formula: Molecular Weight: C32Cl16CuN g/mol STRUCTURE: 1

2 USES AND APPLICATIONS: Colouring agent for paints, plastics and inks, used in industrial applications and consumer products. PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: Property Form Physical state Colour Odour Solid Powder Green Odourless Value Density 1.62 g/cm 3 Melting point 480 C Flammability Explosive properties Self-ignition temperature Granulometry Water solubility Non flammable Not explosive 356 C % <100 micron 22-50% < 10 micron 22% < 4 micron 4-9 µg/l HEALTH EFFECTS Human Health Safety Assessment: No human health hazard was identified. Worker : According to the present knowledge provided the substance is handled properly there is no identified risk to humans. The usual precautions, industrial hygiene and occupational safety measures for handling chemicals have to be observed. In case of unintended exposure during maintenance, sampling, testing, or other procedures workers should follow the recommended safety and first-aid measures in the Safety Data Sheet. 2

3 Effect Assessment Acute Toxicity Oral / inhalation / dermal Irritant effect on skin & eyes Sensitisation Toxicity after repeated exposure Genotoxicity / Mutagenicity Carcinogenicity Toxicity for reproduction Not toxic after oral exposure No acute dermal and inhalation toxicity to be expected Not irritating to skin & eyes Not sensitising Not toxic Not mutagenic in genetic toxicity in-vitro and in-vivo No carcinogenicity to be expected No toxicity for reproduction to be expected ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS Environment Safety Assessment: No environmental classification is proposed since no (adverse) effects have been observed in the ecotoxicological testing (see below). Furthermore the substance is evaluated to be not PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic) or vpvb (very persistent, very bioaccumulative). Effect Assessment Acute fish toxicity Acute daphnia toxicity Algae toxicity Bacteria toxicity Not toxic to fish Not toxic to daphnia Not toxic to algae (analogy) Not toxic to bacteria Fate and Behaviour Biodegradation Bioaccumulation potential PBT / vpvb conclusion Not readily biodegradable Low bioaccumulation potential Not PBT or vpvb substances 3

4 EXPOSURE: Human Health: Exposure to Pigment Green 7 of personnel in manufacturing facilities is also considered low because the process, storage and handling operations are under industrial hygiene considerations and occupational satefy measures. Workers who might accidentally come in contact with the substance should follow the safety and first-aid measures recommended in the Safety Data Sheet. Environment: As Pigment Green 7 is neither to be classified as dangerous according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC nor is assessed to be PBT or vpvb substances, no exposure assessment and risk characterisation has to be performed. RISK MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: The substance Pigment Green 7, a copper phthalocyanine pigment, is not a dangerous substance according to regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Always apply technical measures and use personal protective equipment as recommended in the Safety Data Sheet to minimize exposure. Observe the usual industrial hygiene measures. Remove soiled or soaked clothing immediately. REGULATORY INFORMATION / CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING Labeling according CLP regulation (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended): No labelling required Signal Word: No signal word CONCLUSION: The assessment has revealed that this substance is considered to be safe for the above described uses and applications as colouring agent.
