Product and Company Identification Company BASF Canada Inc. 100 Milverton Drive Mississauga, ON L5R 4H1, CANADA 24 Hour Emergency Response Information CANUTEC (reverse charges): (613) BASF HOTLINE: (800) 454-COPE (2673) Molecular formula: Synonyms: C(3)H(6)N(2)O 2-Imidazolidinone 2. Hazards Identification Emergency overview IRRITANT. Irritating to eyes and respiratory system. Contains a suspect carcinogen. State of matter: solid Colour: colourless to yellow Odour: odourless Potential health effects Acute toxicity: Virtually nontoxic after a single ingestion. Virtually nontoxic after a single skin contact. Irritation / corrosion: Not irritating to the skin. Eye contact causes irritation. Assessment other acute effects: The available information is not sufficient for evaluation. Sensitization: Skin sensitizing effects were not observed in animal studies. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: Under certain conditions the substance can form nitrosamines. Nitrosamines are carcinogenic in animal studies. Reproductive toxicity: The substance may cause damage to the testes after repeated ingestion of high doses, as shown in animal studies.

2 Revision date : 2012/06/07 Page: 2/7 Teratogenicity: Fetal toxicity was not observed in animal studies which were performed with methods that do not fulfill current guidelines. Genotoxicity: The substance was not mutagenic in bacteria. The substance was not mutagenic in mammalian cell culture. Medical conditions aggravated by overexposure: Individuals with pre-existing diseases of the skin or dermatitis may have increased susceptibility to excessive exposures. See MSDS section 11 - Toxicological information. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or in section 11., Further symptoms are possible 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients CAS Number Content (W/W) Hazardous ingredients % 2-imidazolidone 4. First-Aid Measures General advice: Remove contaminated clothing. If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. If on skin: Wash thoroughly with soap and water. If in eyes: Wash affected eyes for at least 15 minutes under running water with eyelids held open, consult an eye specialist. If swallowed: Immediately rinse mouth and then drink ml of water, seek medical attention. Note to physician Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Flash point: 265 C (DIN 51584) Autoignition: 420 C (DIN 51794) Flammability: does not ignite Self-ignition temperature: (Directive 92/69/EEC, A.16) not self-igniting Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide Hazards during fire-fighting: nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire. Under certain conditions in case of fire other hazardous combustion products may be generated.

3 Revision date : 2012/06/07 Page: 3/7 Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing. Further information: Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Cleanup: For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of. 7. Handling and Storage Handling General advice: Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Product tends to form lumps. Protection against fire and explosion: Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Storage General advice: Containers should be stored tightly sealed in a dry place. Storage stability: Storage temperature: 20 C Storage duration: 12 Months Tends to cake. From the data on storage duration in this safety data sheet no agreed statement regarding the warrantee of application properties can be deduced. 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) particulate respirator. Hand protection: Chemical resistant protective gloves Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Body protection: Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN in case of splashes or EN ISO in case of dust).
