1 SILVER FERN CHEMICAL Safety Data Sheet SECTION 1: IDENTIFICATION Product Name: CAS Number: Chemical Name: Fatty acids, hydrogenated, magnesium salts Synonyms: Magnesium octadecanoate; Octadecanoic Acid, Magnesium Salt; Magnesium Distearate; Dibasic Uses: Lubricant Company Business Contact Silver Fern Chemical, Inc. Customer Service: Queen Anne Avenue rth Suite #C Seattle WA 98109, USA 24 Hour Emergency Contact Infotrac Outside USA & Canada SECTION 2: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Signal Word: Warning GHS classification Physical hazards: Health hazards: Environmental hazards: OSHA defined hazards: t classified t classified t classified Combustible dust Hazard Statement: May form combustible dust concentrations in air SECTION 3: COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS CAS # Content (W/W) Ingredients >92.5% Fatty acids, hydrogenated, magnesium salts <2.0% Free Fatty Acids Effective Date: 03/23/2015 Page 1 of 5

2 SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES If inhaled: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty. In case of skin contact: Wash with clean water In case of eye contact: Wash thoroughly with running clean water. Get medical advice if irritation develops If swallowed: Seek medical advice First aid and notes for physicians: Magnesium stearate practically is of low toxicity Acute and delayed symptoms: The available information indicates that magnesium stearate is generally non-toxic. High concentration of dust may cause coughing and mild temporary irritation. May be slightly irritation to eye. SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: > 177 C, C.O.C Lower/Upper explosion limit: n/a Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, alcohol foam, water spray. Water or foam may cause frothing. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and magnesium oxides Advice for firefighters: Fight fire from a safe distance or a protected location. Under certain conditions, a dust cloud of magnesium stearate can explode when ignited by a spark, flame or other ignition source. Must avoid generating dust to Minimize risk of explosion. Unsuitable extinguishing media: Water jet SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Containment: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Eliminates all sources of ignition. Do not allow the spilled product to enter sewers or open waterways. Clean-up Procedures: Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration. Avoid the generation of dust during the clean-up. Vacuum spills or cover with damp sand or saw-dust if sweep. nsparking tools should be used. Personal protective equipment: Eye - Wear appropriate protective safety glasses Skin Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing Put on an appropriate respirator SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Open packaging bag carefully, avoid spillage and dust formation and control ignition sources. Use this product with adequate ventilation. Wash hand after handling. Effective Date: 03/23/2015 Page 2 of 5

3 Storage: Store in cool, dry place to avoid the effects of heat and moisture. Keep container tightly closed and properly labeled. Avoid exposure to sunlight, heat and spark. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. Dry powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Respiratory protection: An appropriate dust respirator. Should be used as a precautionary measure where airborne contaminants may occur Hand protection: Protective gloves Eye protection: Recommend but not must for safety glasses or chemical safety goggles Body protection: Overall or dust cloth, change daily SECTION 9: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance: Fine, soft white powder, granules Odor: Fine, soft white powder, granules Odor Threshold: Fine, soft white powder, granules ph ( Water slurry at 25C): Data not available Melting point: C Initial boiling point and: Data not available boiling range Flash point: > 177 C, C.O.C Evaporation rate: t applicable Flammability (solid, gas) : n-flammable but combustible Upper/lower flammability or: Data not available explosive limits Vapor pressure: Data not available Vapor density: Data not available Specific gravity Solubility: Insoluble in water, alcohol and ether; soluble in benzene and in heated common solvents; decomposed Partition Coefficient: (As log Pow) n-octanol/ water Auto-ignition temperature : > 371 C Decomposition temperature: Data not available Viscosity: t applicable Effective Date: 03/23/2015 Page 3 of 5

4 SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Conditions to avoid: Incompatible materials, static charge, sparks, heat and other ignition sources, generation of dust Substances to avoid: Can react with acids, oxidizing agents and alkalies Hazardous reactions: Decomposed by acids, oxidizing agents and alkalies Decomposition products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and magnesium oxide fume Chemical stability: Stable under normal condition of storage & transport SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Skin corrosion/irritation: Probably not irritating and not absorbed. Serious eye damage/eye irritation: Dust or mist may be slightly irritating Respiratory or skin sensitization: High concentration of dust may cause coughing and mild temporary irritation. Germ cell mutagenicity : information available Carcinogenicity: information available. Reproductive toxicity: information available. Ingestion: Oral toxicity is low. Chronic health effects: Long term exposures to high concentration of dust may cause increased mucous flow in the nose and respiratory system airways. This condition usually disappears after exposure ceases. Routes of exposure: Can occur through inhalation, ingestion and eye or skin contact Toxicity data LD50 (Oral, Rat) : Above mg/kg SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicity: information available Persistence and degradability: t expected to bioaccumulate, knowing that fatty acids will degrade by the Beta oxidation pathway Bioaccumulation: t expected to bioaccumulate. Mobility in soil: information available The product should be prevented from entering drains, sewers, streams etc. SECTION 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Disposal method: Dispose of waste in accordance with local regulations and acts. Contaminated packaging must be treated in the same manner as the product itself. Effective Date: 03/23/2015 Page 4 of 5
