1 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Activated carbon Dated/revised: December 19, Product name and Company Identification Product Name: Coconutshell Activated Carbon Chemical Family: Carbon Formula: Carbon Supplier: Address: 4F-5F Taisei Koki Bldg, Hiroo, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo , JAPAN Telefax: (+81) Hotline: (+81) Composition, Information on Ingredients Chemical name: Steam activated carbon CAS Number: or UN number: 1362 EINECS number: or This product is considered non-hazardous by criteria specified in 29CFR (Hazard Communication) 3. Hazards identification Occupational Exposure Standard: 10mg/m3 There is no OES for activated carbon, the given value is applicable as a Nuisance Dust Limit 4. First Aid measures Inhalation: Fresh air, rest Skin contact: Remove contamination clothes, wash skin with soap and water Eyes: Immediately flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes Ingestion: Ingestion of activated carbon dust may irritate the digestive tract. No harmful effects are anticipated from ingestion and vomiting should not be induced First aid: Notes to Physician This product in solution, if aspirated into the lungs, may cause pneumonitis; treat the affected person appropriately 5. Firefighting measures Flash point: Not Available Lower Flammable Limit: Not Available Upper Flammable Limit: Not Available Page 1/5

2 General Fire Hazards: Contact with naked flame or strong oxidizers such as ozone, liquid oxygen, chlorine, permanganate, etc. may result in fire. Accumulation of airborne dust may present an explosion or fire hazard in the presence of an ignition source. Hazardous Combustion Products: Upon combustion, this product may emit carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons. Other materials adsorbed onto the carbon may also be released during combustion. Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog. Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self contained breathing apparatus. NFPA Ratings: Health = 0 Reactivity = 0 Flammability = 0 6. Accidental Release Measures Evacuation Procedures and Safety: Use the appropriate personal protective equipment when working with dust. Cleanup and Disposal of Spill: Do not allow the material to enter sewerage system or open waters. Sweep up, using a dust suppressant agent, or vacuum spilled material. Wear appropriate protective gear and clothing during clean-up. Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of all waste in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. No EPA Waste Numbers are applicable for this product s components. 7. Handling and Storage Keep separated from oxidizing substances heat, sparks and open flame. Store dry in original packaging. Shrink or stretch wrapped on to pallets 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection Inhalation: Local exhaust ventilation system or breathing protection (filter type P2) Skin: Gloves Eyes: A pair of goggles 9. Physical and Chemical Properties a. Information on basic physical and chemical properties Appearance: Black granules, powder, dust, pellet Odor: Odorless Physical State: Solid ph: 9-11 for ordinary activated carbon and 6-8 for acid washed Vapor Pressure: Not applicable Vapor Density: Not applicable Boiling Point: Not available Melting Point: 3500 C Solubility (H2O): Insoluble Specific Gravity: 25 C Freezing Point: Not available Critical self-ignition temperature: Not applicable or above 450 C Self heating test for carbon IMDP Code page 4225: Passed test Page 2/5

3 10. Stability and Reactivity Chemical Stability: Stable Conditions to be avoided: Avoid accumulation of airborne dusts. Dusts may be explosive when exposed to heat, flame, ignition sources, combustible material and incompatible materials. Materials/Chemicals to be avoided: Strong oxidizers, organic acids (examples include acetic acid, citric acid, etc.), mineral acids and hydrocarbons. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Upon decomposition, this product may emit carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons. Other materials adsorbed onto the carbon may also be released during decomposition. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur 11. Toxicological information General Product Information: Overexposure to activated carbon dusts would be expected to produce mild irritation to the respiratory tract, skin and eyes. Chronic skin exposure may discolor the hair follicle; chronic inhalation may produce carbon deposition in the lungs. Oral LD50 rats: >5g/kg. Component Analysis: No LD50/LC50's are available for this product's components. Component Carcinogenicity: Not listed by ACGIH, IARC, OSHA, NIOSH, or NTP. Acute Eye Irritation: May cause eye irritation Acute Skin Irritation: Material is not known to be absorbed through the skin. However, irritation may occur in individuals with sensitivity to the material Acute Respiratory Irritation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract Epidemiology: No epidemiological data is available for this product. Neurotoxicity: No data available for this product. Mutagenicity: No data available for this product. Teratogenicity: No data available for this product. Other Toxicological Information: No information available for the product. 12. Ecological Information BOD: Non-detectable COD: Non-detectable 13. Disposal Considerations Removal of Product: Recover and reclaim or recycle if practical. With clean shovel place material into dry container and cover and move. Dispose of in accordance with Local Authority requirements. 14. Transport Information a. Land transport ADR: Not classified as a dangerous good under transport regultions Page 3/5

5 16. Additional Information Activated carbon is not considered a dangerous product. Handling: Do not use in confined spaces without adequate ventilation and/pr respirator. Wet activated carbon can remove oxygen from the atmosphere, which is hazardous to workers operating in closed spaces. Suitable permit to work system should be enforced for vessels containing activated carbon, and adequate monitoring of the oxygen content of the atmosphere in the vessel should be taken at all times. This should be carried out in accordance with the applicable regulations In order to ensure optimum performance and maximum safety when using this product, please discuss your application with the supplier with detail contact at the first page of this sheet. The product is suitable for Air/Sea transportation according to INSPECTION CERTIFICATE NO. SGC date: 25 June 2015 by Saigon Control Services Inspect Trade Jsc Page 5/5
