1 Shaw Laminate Flooring Safety Data Sheet 1 PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Common Name Manufacturer Trade Name Shaw Versa Lock AG Shaw Versa Lock LNP Shaw Industries 900 V.D. Parrott Jr. Parkway Dalton, GA Residential and Light Commercial Laminate Flooring Emergency # ChemTel HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION This product is not considered hazardous per OSHA 29 CFR This SDS is provided for informational purposes only. Emergency Overview Route of Entry None for product as sold. For dust generated during sawing, sanding, or machining: eye, skin contact, and inhalation. Potential Health Effects: Inhalation None for product as sold. Dust generated from sawing, sanding or machining may cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Prolonged and repeated inhalation of dust may lead to chronic respiratory irritation. Asthmatic conditions may be aggravated by uncontrolled airborne dust exposure. Potential Health Effects: Skin None for product as sold. Dust generated from sawing, sanding or machining may cause irritation of the skin. Potential Health Effects: Eyes None for product as sold. Dust generated from sawing, sanding or machining may cause irritation of the eyes. Potential Health Effects: Ingestion Not an expected route of entry.

2 WHMIS (Canada): Not Classified as hazardous 3 COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Name CAS # % by weight Wood Fiber N/A Adhesive Resins N/A FIRST AID MEASURES First Aid: Inhalation No hazard for product as sold. Sawing, sanding or machining may produce dust that may be irritating or harmful if inhaled. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. First Aid: Skin Solid pieces (sheets, strips, etc) may be abrasive to skin. Sawing, sanding or machining may produce dust that may be irritating. Wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. First Aid: Eyes No hazard for product as sold. Sawing, sanding or machining may produce dust that may be irritating. For dust, flush eyes with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. First Aid: Ingestion Not an expected route of entry with normal use of product. 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: Not Applicable Flash Point Method: Not Applicable Auto ignition Temp.: Not Applicable Burning Rate: Not Applicable Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. Wear eye protective equipment appropriate for the surrounding fire. Hazardous products of combustion include and carbon oxides (CO and CO2). Page 2 of 7 Issue Date: 11/20/12 Revision: 1.000

3 Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Product as sold does not present an explosion hazard. Dust created from sawing, sanding or machining activities may create an explosion hazard under certain conditions. Depending on moisture content, and more importantly, particle diameter and airborne concentration, dust in a contained area may explode in the presence of an ignition source. Ventilation systems should be kept clean and precautions should be taken to prevent sparks or other ignition sources. 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Containment Procedures None necessary. Clean-up Procedures No special procedures for intact product. Where there is dust or small pieces from product, sweep or vacuum up for recovery and disposal. Avoid creating dusty conditions. Maintain good housekeeping to avoid accumulation of dried dust on surfaces. Dried dust may pose a combustible dust hazard. Recovered dust may be disposed of in landfill. Evacuation Procedures None necessary. 6 HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Procedures No specific usage precautions required. Follow normal good hygiene practices. Protect exposed skin from cuts and abrasions. Storage Requirements Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Trace amounts of formaldehyde may be released during shipment and/or storage. 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure Guidelines for components Component Exposure Limits Wood fiber (as wood dust)* OSHA PEL 5 mg/m3 Respirable dust TWA 15 mg/m3 Total dust TWA ACGIH TLV 1 mg/m3 TWA 1 mg/m3 TWA NIOSH 1 mg/m3 TWA * This product is manufactured from wood products. Fabrication of this product may produce wood dust. Consult local authorities and regulations for exposure limits. Page 3 of 7 Issue Date: 11/20/12 Revision: 1.000

4 Engineering Controls No special ventilation requirements for product as sold. Provide adequate ventilation to meet exposure guidelines if sawing, sanding or machining generates dust or chips. Ventilation to control dust should be considered where potential explosive concentrations may be generated and ignition sources are present. Protective Equipment Eyes/Face: Goggles or safety glasses are recommended when excessive exposures to the dust may be generated, such as clean up after sawing, sanding or machining. Skin: Not required. However, cloth, canvas, or leather gloves are recommended to minimize potential slivers of mechanical irritation from handling the product. Respiratory: When ventilation is not adequate, wear a NIOSH approved/certified respirator with an appropriate particulate dust filter. Wear safety glasses with side shields during installation operations that may product dust of chips. 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance: Solid sheets, planks, tiles of various decorative colors and patterns Physical State: Solid Vapor Pressure: Not Applicable Boiling Point : Not Applicable Solubility (H2O): Insoluble Melting Point: Not Determined Flash Point: Not Applicable Upper Not Applicable Flammability Limit: Auto Ignition: Not Applicable Odor: None ph: Not Applicable Vapor Density: Not Determined Melting Point: Not Determined Specific Gravity: Varies Evaporation Rate: Not Determined VOC: Not Determined Flash Point Method: Not Applicable Lower Flammability Not Applicable Limit: 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY INFORMATION Stability Product is stable as supplied Conditions to Avoid None Materials to Avoid (incompatibility) None Hazardous Decomposition Products Thermal decomposition (i.e., smoldering, burning) products include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, aliphatic aldehydes, terpenes, and Page 4 of 7 Issue Date: 11/20/12 Revision: 1.000
