Contact poison treatment specialist immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled. Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point: Method Used: Auto Ignition: Flammability Classification: Lower Explosive Limit (%): Upper Explosive Limit (%): General Fire Hazards Solid material may burn upon extended exposure to open flames. Hazardous Combustion Products Upon decomposition this product may emit carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons. Extinguishing Media Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. NFPA Ratings Health: 1 Fire: 0 Reactivity: 0 Hazard Scale: 0=Minimal 1=Slight 2=Moderate 3=Serious 4=Severe Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures Containment Procedures Sweep waste fabric into a pile. Clean -Up Procedures Sweep waste fabric into a waste container and recycle, incinerate or landfill in conformity with local disposal regulations. Evacuation Procedures Special Procedures None Section 7 - Handling and Storage Handling Procedures Put on appropriate personal protective equipment. Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not get in your eyes or on your skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retain product and can be hazardous. Do not reuse containers. Page 2 of 6

3 Storage Procedures Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry cool and well ventilated area away from incompatible materials and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready to use. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Section 8 - Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Component Exposure Limits Component CAS Exposure Limits Petroleum Bitumen ACGIH TLV ( United States, 1/2008) TWA: 0.5 mg/m3 8 hour(s) Form: Fume NIOSH REL ( United States, 12/2001) CEIL: 5 mg/m3 15 minute(s). Form: Fume Engineering Controls Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminates below any recommended or statutory limits. Hygiene Measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking, and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the work station location. Personal Protective Equipment Personal Protective Equipment-Eyes/Face Safety Glasses Personal Protective Equipment-Skin Overall buttoned at the neck and wrist and chemical resistant gloves. Personal Protective Equipment-Respiratory None usually required Personal Protective Equipment-General Follow individual plant safety rules.
