Des Serres Inc Granby, QC, Canada J2G 8E2 Information Telephone # 24 Hr. Emergency Tel # TH250 Solvent Cleaner Mixture. Manufacturer s name and address Refer to Supplier (450) (Monday - Friday, 800 am pm, Eastern Standard Time) (613) (CANUTEC) SECTION 2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Classification This product is a WHMIS Controlled Product. It meets one or more of the criteria for a controlled product provided in Part IV of the Canadian Controlled Products Regulations (CPR). WHMIS classification Class B2 (Flammable Liquids) Class D2A (Materials Causing Other Toxic Effects, Very Toxic Material) Class D2B (Materials Causing Other Toxic Effects, Toxic Material) This material is classified as hazardous under OSHA regulations (29CFR ). Flammable liquid Acute Health Hazard Chronic Health Hazard Emergency Overview Clear liquid. Characteristic odour. WARNING! Flammable liquid and vapour. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Vapours may cause flash fire. Causes eye irritation. May cause skin irritation. Harmful if inhaled. May cause irritation to the nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. May cause central nervous system depression. Harmful or fatal if swallowed. Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Aspiration into lungs may be fatal. Contains material which may adversely affect the developing fetus, based on animal data. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Signs and symptoms of short-term (acute) exposure Inhalation Skin May cause irritation to the nose, throat and upper respiratory tract. May cause headache, nausea, dizziness and other symptoms of central nervous system depression. May cause moderate to severe skin irritation. Symptoms may include redness, itching and swelling. Eyes Ingestion May cause moderate to severe irritation. Symptoms may include a burning sensation, pain, watering, and/or changes in vision (blurred vision). May cause irritation of mouth, throat, and stomach. Aspiration into the lungs during swallowing or subsequent vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.

Potential environmental effects See ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION, Section 12. SECTION 3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS CAS # Wt.% Toluene Acetone SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation Skin contact Eye contact Ingestion Immediately remove person to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen by qualified medical personnel only. Obtain medical attention immediately. Immediately flush skin with running water for at least 15 minutes, while removing contaminated clothing. Launder clothing before reuse. If irritation persists, seek prompt medical attention. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek prompt medical attention. Do NOT induce vomiting. Aspiration into the lungs during swallowing or subsequent vomiting may cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep victim's head lowered (forward) to reduce the risk of aspiration. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek immediate medical attention/advice. Notes For Physician Treat symptomatically. SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Fire hazards/conditions of flammability Flammable liquid and vapour. Will ignite when exposed to heat, flame and other sources of ignition. Vapours may cause flash fire. Vapour can travel considerable distance and flashback to a source of ignition. Vapours are heavier than air and collect in confined and low-lying areas. This product will accumulate static charge by flow, splashing or agitation. Closed containers may rupture if exposed to excess heat or flame due to a build-up of internal pressure. Flammability classification (OSHA 29 CFR ) Flammable Liquid Class 1A Oxidizing properties None known. Explosion data Sensitivity to mechanical impact / static discharge May be sensitive to static discharge. Not expected to be sensitive to mechanical impact. Suitable extinguishing media Use water fog or fine spray, foams, carbon dioxide or dry chemical. Direct water or foam spray may cause frothing, which can increase the intensity and range of the fire. Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in positive pressure mode. Move containers from fire area if safe to do so. Water spray may be useful in cooling equipment exposed to heat and flame. Avoid spreading burning liquid with water spray used for cooling purposes. Hazardous combustion products Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.

Refer to Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION, for additional information on acceptable personal protective equipment. Keep all other personnel upwind and away from the spill/release. Environmental precautions Spill response/cleanup Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Ensure spilled product does not enter drains, sewers, waterways, or confined spaces. For large spills, dike the area to prevent spreading. Uncontrolled discharge into water courses must be alerted to the appropriate regulatory body. Evacuate all personnel from affected areas and provide maximum explosion-proof ventilation. Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted by trained personnel only.remove all sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools and equipment in the clean-up process. Contain and absorb spilled liquid with non-combustible, inert absorbent material (e.g. sand), then place absorbent material into a container for later disposal (see Section 13). Use proper bonding and grounding techniques when transferring liquid. Notify the appropriate authorities as required. Prohibited materials Do not use combustible absorbents, such as sawdust. Special spill response procedures If a spill/release in excess of the EPA reportable quantity is made into the environment, immediately notify the national response center in the United States (phone ). US CERCLA Reportable quantity (RQ) See section 15. SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE Safe Handling procedures Use in a well-ventilated area. Wear suitable protective equipment during handling. Avoid breathing vapours or mists. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Use proper bonding and grounding techniques when transferring liquid. Avoid contact with incompatible materials. Use caution when opening cap. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not cut, weld, drill or grind on or near this container. Storage requirements Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of heat, ignition and sunlight.. Storage facilities should be made of fire resistant materials. For large-scale storage, use a grounded, non-sparking ventilation system, approved explosion-proof equipment and intrinsically safe electrical systems.
