Composition / Information on Ingredients Material or Component Concentration CAS Number HS Code Phosphoric Acid <19% by weight Note: Independent Laboratory tests indicate Aquasafe Descaler to be BIODEGRADABLE 3. Hazards Identification Not classified under EU directives 4. First Aid Measures Eye Contact: Ingestion: Skin Contact: Inhalation: Advice to doctor: First Aid Facilities: On contact with the eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of running water for 15 minutes. Washing eyes within 1 minute is necessary to achieve maximum effectiveness. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. If swallowed, drink water, milk or milk of magnesia. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical advice showing the container / label or safety data sheet. Wash affected area with plenty of running water for 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing If overexposure occurs, leave exposure area immediately. If irritation persists, seek medical advice. Treat symptomatically. Eye wash and running water facilities should be provided.

2 5. Fire Fighting Measures Flammability: Fire & Explosion: Extinguishing Media Hazchem Code: Non Flammable Non Flammable. Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved self contained breathing apparatus for combating fire. Use water fog, water or foam to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas Water Spray, CO2, Foam although Non Flammable None allocated 6. Accidental Release Measures Spillage: This material is biodegradable. Use appropriate protection rubber gloves, goggles or safety glasses. Contain spill. Neutralize with copious amounts of water. Slowly add a soda ash mixture to the residue. This should bring the spill residue within normal ph range of 6-8. If spilt (bulk), wear splash-proof goggles, PVC rubber gloves, coveralls and rubber boots. Absorb spill with sand or similar, collect and place in sealable containers for disposal. Prevent spillage entering drains or waterways. Caution: slippery when spilt. 7. Handling & Storage Handling: Storage: Use safe work practices to avoid eye and skin contact. Observe good personal hygiene. Prohibit eating, drinking or smoking in contaminated areas. Wash hands before eating. Store in cool (-15 C to 82 C), dry, well ventilated area, removed from oxidising agents, direct heat sources and foodstuffs. Ensure containers are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage and sealed when not in use. Large storage areas should have appropriate ventilation systems 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Ventilation: Exposure standards: PPE: Ensure appropriate / adequate natural ventilation An exposure standard has not been allocated to this product Wear splash proof goggles and PVC or rubber gloves. When using large quantities or where heavy contamination is likely, wear coveralls. 9. Physical & Chemical Properties Boiling point: 100 degrees Centigrade Solubility in Water: Soluble Specific Gravity: (water=1) 1.04

3 Vapour Pressure: degrees Centigrade Vapour Density (air = 1) 1.27 % Volatile by Volume: > 85% (water) Appearance: Aqua Green ph: < 2 Evaporation Rate (butyl acetate = 1): 2 Physical State: Liquid Flammability: Non-Flammable Flash Point: Upper Explosion Limit: Lower Explosion Limit: Auto-Ignition Temperature: Not Available 10. Stability & Reactivity Conditions contributing to instability: Incompatibility: Hazards Decomposition Products: Conditions Contributing to Hazardous Polymerization: Reactivity: Decomposition Products: Under normal conditions this product is stable. Do not mix with alkaline products. None None. Incompatible with oxidising agents. May evolve Carbon Dioxide. 11. Toxicological Information Health Hazard Summary: This product does not contain any material shown to be carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) or The International Agency for Research in Cancer (IRAC). While no data is currently available on the ecology of this formulation as a whole, empirically we know that the components of Aqua Safe Descaler are not bio accumulate in animal or plant tissue. It is known that these compounds quickly are broken down or biodegraded into compounds such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20). Eye: Irritant. Exposure may result in lacrimation, irritation, pain and redness. Inhalation: Low Irritant. Over exposure at high levels may result in mucous membrane irritation of the upper respiratory tract (i.e. nose and throat) and coughing. However, due to the low vapour pressure, adverse health effects are not anticipated under normal conditions of use. Skin: Low Irritant. Prolonged and repeated contact may result in drying and de-fatting of the skin with rash and dermatitis. Ingestion: Non-Toxic Irritant. Ingestion of large doses may result in nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal irritation. Toxicity Data: Phosphoric Acid ( )

4 12. Ecological Information Environment: This product is biodegradable. This product neutralises and is non-toxic in that state 13. Disposal Considerations Disposal Considerations: Legislation: The expended / neutralised product is biodegradable and is suitable for disposal via sewerage systems. Prior authorisation for disposal should be sought from the relevant authorities. Alternatively absorb with sand, vermiculite or similar and dispose of to an approved landfill site. Dispose of in accordance with the relevant local legislation. 14. Transport Information as dangerous goods for transportation by Road, Rail or Sea Hazard Class: UN Number: Packing Group: Danger Labels: Xi (Irritant) Hazard Identification: Transport Category: HS Code: Regulatory Information Summary: This product complies with current Workplace Hazardous Information Systems. Non-reported under SARA Title: 3 Section 311/312/313 Categorization. Reportable elements: Phosphoric Acid, CAS# U.S. Toxic Substance Control Act: All ingredients contained in this product have been registered under the Toxic Substance Control Act. This product contains one substance that is subject to reporting CAS# Phosphoric Acid. This product does not contain any Class I or Class II ozone depleting substance. Neutralization of the product and clean up the area of spillage is undertaken by flooding with copious amount of water and neutralization.
