For emergency health, safety, and environmental information, calls For emergency transportation information, in the United States: call CHEMTREC at Hazard(s) Identification These products do not meet the criteria defined in the Regulation EC 1272/2008 and in the Directive 67/548/EC. These products should be handled with care to avoid dust generation. Classification EU (67/548/EC): Regulation EC 1272/2008: No classification. No classification. Label element according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008: Pictogram: Signal word: Hazard statement: Precautionary statements: Other hazards: This product is an inorganic substance and does not meet the criteria for PBT or vpvb in accordance with Annex XIII of REACH.

2 Warning: Most important symptoms and effects both acute and delayed: Primary Routes of Entry: Combustible liquid and vapor. Symptoms of acute accidental exposure would be non-specific and similar to those of a massive inhalation of any dust without toxic effects. These symptoms may include coughing, expectoration, sneezing, and difficulty in breathing due to upper respiratory tract irritation. Eyes and skin. Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure: The repeated overexposure can develop a benign pneumoconiosis, known as talcosis, which can cause respiratory problems and lung complications. Smoking and concomitant diseases might impose an additional pulmonary burden which may alter the course of the pneumoconiosis Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Ingestion: Inhalation: HMIS Hazard Ratings: HMIS limitation statement: Principal Hazardous Components: Can cause temporary discomfort and irritation if accidentally introduced into the eye. Workers who suffers from dermatitis or are susceptible to irritation and dry skin. Can cause irritation to the digestive tract. Can cause irritation to the respiratory tract. The HMIS hazard ratings numbers are meant to give a quick indication of the relative hazards associated with the product. All of the information contained in the SDS should be consulted to assist with the safe handling of this material. 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients Main constituents: Impurities: IMI Fabi Talc BT is natural associations of talc, chlorite, dolomite and magnesite. These products do not contain any classified impurity.

3 4. First Aid Measures Inhalation: Eyes: Skin: Ingestion: No special first aid measures. Remove to fresh air and get medical attention in case of serious respiratory problems. Rinse with copious quantities of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists. No special first aid measures necessary. Usually of no general concern; broken skin can be cleansed with mild soap and water; if irritation or redness develops and persists, seek medical attention. No first aid measures required. 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media: Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Hazardous Combustion Products: Unusual fire and explosion hazards: All extinguishing media can be used. Water Spray, Dry Chemical, Carbon Dioxide CO2, Foam. No specific fire-fighting protection is required. Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. No hazards product. None known. 6. Accidental Release Measures Steps to be taken in case material is spilled: Avoid airborne dust generation. If the generation of dust is likely, personal protective equipment should be worn in compliance with national legislation. Dry product should be cleaned with a shovel or vacuum cleaner while wearing personal protective equipment in compliance with national legislation. Washing the floor with water is not recommended

4 since it may cause the floor to become slippery. However, if talc is already wet, and only in this case, the floor should be thoroughly flushed with water to remove all slipperiness. Environmental Disposal Information: Waste Disposal: The product is environmental safe and cause no major concerns. it is not provided because the substance, not classified as toxic, exists as natural mineral and it is widespread in the soil. Reclaim or dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. 7. Handling and Storage: Empty Containers: Precautions to be taken in handling: Storage: Avoid airborne dust generation. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where airborne dust is generated. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory protective equipment. Handle packaged products carefully to prevent accidental bursting. Keep the product dry and in closed containers. 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Exposure Controls: Respiratory Protection: Ventilation: Hand Protection: Eye Protection: Skin and Body Protection: Follow workplace regulatory exposure limits for all types of airborne dust. For the national regulations about the Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of talc powder. In case of prolonged overexposure to airborne dust concentrations, wear respiratory protective equipment that complies with the requirements of national legislation. If current ventilation practices are non-adequate in maintaining airborne concentrations of talc below the TLV (see also point 15 of the present document), additional ventilation or local exhaust systems may be required. Protective gloves are not necessary but recommended for those prone to skin irritation or dryness. Wear safety glasses with side-shields in circumstances where there is a risk of dust generation which could lead to mechanical irritation of the eye. Wear impervious clothing. Appropriate engineering controls: Minimize airborne dust generation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep

5 airborne levels below specified exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne particles below the exposure limit. Apply organizational measures, e.g., by isolating personnel from dusty areas. Remove and wash soiled clothing. 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Physical Form: Appearance & Odor: Specific Gravity: Solid White, off white to light grey powder/ Odorless. ph suspension of 10% of talc in water: Softening Point, R&B: Solubility in Water: Melting Point: Flash Point, TAG CC F: Percent Volatiles (by weight): Evaporation Rate (Water ~ I): Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): Relative density: Vapor Density (Air ~ I): Boiling Point (⁰F) Initial: Auto ignition Temperature, ⁰C: Decomposition temperature: Flammable Limits, %(V): Negligible >1300 C g/cm3 >950 C Not flammable or explosive. 10. Stability and Reactivity Stability: Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Conditions to Avoid: Hazardous Polymerization: This product is stable under normal conditions. None known. None known. None known. 11. Toxicological Information

6 Talc is neither orally nor cutaneously toxic. The IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) working group stated that there is no evidence of cancerogenity genotoxicity both on animals and on man. No teratogenic effects were found on animals after oral ingestion of talc (Food and Drugs Research Laboratories, 1973). Talc is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP (US National Toxicological Program) and not regulated as a carcinogen by OSHA (US Occupational Safety and Health Agency). OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit: ACGIH Threshold Limit Value: 12. Ecological Information Toxicity: Persistence and degradability: Bioaccumulative potential: Mobility in soil: Results of PBT and vpvb assessment: Other adverse effects: No data are available on this product. No specific adverse effects known. No data are available on this product. Product is an inorganic substance and therefore is not considered biodegradable. Negligible. No specific adverse effects known. 13. Disposal Considerations

7 Waste from residue/unused products: Packaging: Not a hazardous waste. Where possible, recycling is preferable to disposal; may be disposed of in compliance with local regulations. Dust formation from residues in packaging should be avoided and suitable worker protection assured. Store used packaging in enclosed receptacles. The re-use of packaging is not recommended. Recycling and disposal of packaging should be carried out by an authorized waste management company. Recycling and disposal of packaging should be carried out in compliance with local regulations. 14. Transport Information D.O.T.
