2 Components CAS # Percent Maleic acid CARBOXYLIC ACID POLYMER TSRN P *Designates that a specific chemical identity and/or percentage of composition has been withheld as a trade secret. Composition comments 4. First-aid measures Information for specific product ingredients as required by the U.S. OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION STANDARD is listed. Refer to additional sections of this SDS for our assessment of the potential hazards of this formulation. Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact Ingestion Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed General information Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash skin with soap and water. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Get medical attention immediately. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Keep eyelids apart. Get medical attention immediately. Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Skin contact may cause itching and/or redness. May cause allergic skin reaction. May cause redness and pain. Symptoms may include stinging, tearing, redness, swelling, and blurred vision. Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Symptoms may be delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions General fire hazards Water fog. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical powder. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Cool containers / tanks with water spray. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Keep unnecessary personnel away. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid contact with spilled material. Ensure adequate ventilation. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Small Spills: Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Place in waste disposal container. Wet area may be slippery. Spread sand/grit. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Large Spills: Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later disposal. Ventilate the area. Environmental precautions Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Water contaminated with this product may be sent to a sanitary sewer treatment facility, or a permitted waste treatment facility, in accordance with any local agreements. 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Page: 2 / 7

3 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Store in cool, well ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Avoid high temperatures. Protect from freezing. If frozen, thaw completely and mix thoroughly prior to use. No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Splash proof chemical goggles. Face shield. Eye/face protection Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations 9. Physical and chemical properties Appearance Color Odor Physical state Odor threshold Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other. Glove selection must take into account any solvents and other hazards present. Wear suitable protective clothing. Wash off after each use. Replace as necessary. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. A RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROGRAM THAT MEETS OSHA'S 29 CFR AND ANSI Z88.2 REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED WHENEVER WORKPLACE CONDITIONS WARRANT A RESPIRATOR'S USE. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
