Technical Writer Phone: 1 (800) Hour Emergency Phone Phone: 1 (306) Section 02 - Hazard Identification GHS-Classification This product has been assessed in accordance with the Hazardous Products Regulations and is not classified as a hazardous substance or mixture. Section 03 - Composition / Information on Ingredients Chemical Name CAS Number Weight % Unique Identifiers Propylene Glycol > 99.8% Section 04 - First Aid Measures Inhalation Skin Contact / Absorption If symptoms are experienced, remove victim to fresh air. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice. Rinse with lukewarm, gently flowing water for at least 5 minutes or until the chemical is removed. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Eye Contact Immediately flush the contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 30 minutes, or until the chemical is removed, while holding the eyelid(s) open. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. Ingestion If irritation or discomfort occurs, obtain medical advice immediately. Additional Information Section 05 - Fire Fighting Measures Treatment based on sound judgment of physician and individual reactions of patient. Suitable Extinguishing Media Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, "alcohol" foam, water spray or fog. Water or foam may cause frothing. Special "alcohol-resistant firefighting foams" are recommended for use with any polar flammable liquid that is soluble in water, such as 1, 2-propylene glycol. Page 1 of 6

2 Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Specific Hazards Arising From the Chemical Special Protective Equipment and Precautions for Fire-Fighters Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Incomplete combustion may also produce toxic and irritating fumes and acrid smoke. Wear NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Further Information Section 06 - Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions / Protective Equipment / Emergency Procedures Environmental Precautions Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Ventilate area. Only enter area with PPE. Stop or reduce leak if safe to do so. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent material from entering sewers or waterways. Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up Section 07 - Handling and Storage Contain spill with earth, sand, or absorbent material which does not react with spilled material. SMALL SPILLS: Soak up spill with absorbent material which does not react with spilled chemical. Put material in suitable, covered, labelled containers. Flush area with water. LARGE SPILLS: Contact fire and emergency services and supplier for advice. Precautions for Safe Handling Conditions for Safe Storage Use proper equipment for lifting and transporting all containers. Use sensible industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid all situations that could lead to harmful exposure. This material is non-toxic but it can burn if strongly heated. It is good practice to keep material away from sparks, flames and other ignition sources. Store in a cool, ventilated area and away from heat. Store in suitable, labelled containers away from incompatible materials. Incompatibilities Strong oxidizing materials, perchloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, and silver nitrate. Section 08 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Exposure Limit(s) Component Regulation Type of Listing Value Propylene Glycol WEELs TWA 10mg/m 3 Engineering Control(s) Ventilation Requirements Other Protective Equipment Eyes/Face Hand Protection Skin and Body Protection Mechanical ventilation (dilution or local exhaust), process or personnel enclosure and control of process conditions must be provided in accordance with all fire codes and regulatory requirements. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by exhaust systems. Emergency shower and eyewash must be available and tested in accordance with regulations and be in close proximity. No specific requirement, but it is good practice to wear safety googles. No specific requirement, but it is good practice to prevent skin contact. No specific requirement, but it is good practice to prevent skin contact. No special footwear is required other than what is mandated at place of work. Page 2 of 6

3 Respiratory Protection Respiration protection is not normally required. If use creates vapours, mists or aerosols, then a NIOSH-approved respirator with an approved organic vapor cartridge is recommended.

4 Specific Gravity (Water=1) % Volatiles by Volume Formula C3H8O2 Molecular Weight Section 10 - Stability and Reactivity Reactivity Stability Possibility of Hazardous Reactions Conditions to Avoid Incompatible Materials Normally stable. Polymerization will not occur. High temperatures (above 99 C). Strong oxidizing materials, perchloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and silver nitrate. Hazardous Decomposition Products None reported Section 11 - Toxicological Information Acute Toxicity Component Oral LD 50 Dermal LD 50 Inhalation LC 50 Propylene Glycol 14,800 mg/kg (rabbit) 20,800mg/kg (rabbit) Chronic Toxicity Carcinogenicity Component Propylene Glycol IARC Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC and ACGIH. Skin Corrosion/Irritation Ingestion Inhalation Serious Eye Damage/Irritation Respiratory or Skin Sensitization Germ Cell Mutagenicity Reproductive Toxicity STOT-Single Exposure STOT-Repeated Exposure Aspiration Hazard Synergistic Materials Not considered a skin irritant. Not expected to produce harmful effects. Exposure to vapour or mist is unlikely to cause significant health effects. The undiluted liquid causes no to mild irritation. Not a skin sensitizer. Not mutagenic. In animal studies, did not interfere with reproduction. Exposure to mists may cause upper respiratory irritation. Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard.

5 Section 12 Ecological Information Ecotoxicity Component Toxicity to Algae Toxicity to Fish Toxicity to Daphnia and Other Aquatic Invertebrates Propylene Glycol EC 50 (Selenastrum capricornutum, 96hr): 19,000mg/L LC 50 (Oncorhychus mykiss, 96hr): 51,400mg/L LC 50 (Pimephales promelas, 96hr): 46,500mg/L EC 50 Daphnia magna, 48hr): >10,000mg/L Biodegradability Bioaccumulation Mobility Material is readily biodegradable. Passes OECD test(s) for ready biodegradability. Biodegradation may occur under anaerobic conditions (in the absence of oxygen). Bioconcentration potential is low (BCF=0.09) Given its very low Henry's constant, volatilization from natural bodies of water or moist soil is not expected to be an important fate process; Potential for mobility in soil is very high.
