2 Polypropylene Polymer Organic and/or Inorganic Pigments (Mixture) Polymer Antioxidant Polymer Antioxidant Erucamide Polymer Lubricant Comments: This product conforms to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) definition of a non-hazardous Article, i.e., "...a manufactured item: (i) which is formed to a specific shape or design during manufacturer; (ii) which has end use function(s) dependent...upon its shape or design...; and (iii) which does not release, or otherwise result in exposure to, a hazardous chemical, under normal conditions of use. [29 CFR (b)(6)(iv)] Note: This product contains no "natural rubber." SECTION 3 : HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: EMERGENCY RESPONSE DATA: Bag comprised of clear plastic film with zipper closure mechanism. Exposure to fire can generate highly toxic fumes. D.O.T. ERG No.: N/A Comments: U.S.OSHA HAZARD COMMUNICATION: Product assessed in accordance with OSHA requirements per 29 CFR and determined to be not hazardous. Applies to All Ingredients: Route of Exposure: No significant effects expected.

3 SECTION 4 : FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, call a physician. Skin Contact: Not expected to be a problem. Inhalation: Bags should not be used to cover nose and mouth. If respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, or unconsciousness occurs, seek immediate medical assistance and call a physician. If breathing has stopped, use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Ingestion: Not expected to occur in normal products use. Not expected to be a problem if a small amount is ingested. Ingestion of large quantities may cause gastrointestinal distress requiring medical attention. SECTION 5 : FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: 260 Deg C / 500 Deg F(estimated) Upper Flammable or Explosive Limit: Lower Flammable or Explosive Limit: Extinguishing Media: Water, Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical. Fire Fighting Instructions: Use standard chemical fire fighting procedures and consider hazards of other materials involved. Prevent fire control or dilution runoff from entering streams, sewers, or drinking water supply. Protective Equipment: For fires in enclosed areas, fire fighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus. NFPA Health: 0 Flammability: 1 Reactivity: 0 Other: Unusual Fire Hazards: Exposure to fire can generate toxic fumes. Hazardous Decomposition Byproducts:
