COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS COMPONENT NAME CAS No. CONTENT (W/V) Clethodim g/l Inert ingredients / Fill to 1liter SECTION 3. HAZARD INFORMATION Hazard classification Hazardous (National Occupational Health and Safety Commission - NOHSC) Risk Phrases: R22 Harmful if swallowed. R65 Harmful: May cause lung damage if swallowed. R36/38. Irritating to eyes and skin

2 Safety Phrases: S2 Keep out of reach of children S13 Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs S23 Do not breathe vapours or spray mists S26 In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre S28 After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of soap and water. S36/37/39. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. SECTION 4. FIRST AID MEASURES EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs and persists, obtain medical attention. SKIN: Wash with plenty of soap and water. INGESTION: Rinse mouth with water. Dilute by giving 1 or 2 glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. See a medical doctor immediately. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If breathing difficulty or discomfort occurs and persists, obtain medical attention. NOTES TO MEDICAL DOCTOR: Ingestion of this product or subsequent vomiting can result in aspiration of light hydrogen liquid, which can cause pneumonitis. If ingested, probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of grastric lavage.

3 SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT AND METHOD: 64 C (Setaflash Closed Cup) EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, water fog, CO 2 or dry chemical. FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 85 F. Products of combustion from fires involving this material may be toxic. Avoid breathing smoke and mists. Avoid personnel and equipment contact with fallout and runoff. Minimize the amount of water used for fire fighting. Do not enter any enclosed area without full protective equipment, including self-contained breathing equipment. Contain and isolate runoff and debris for proper disposal. Decontaminate personal protective equipment and fire-fighting equipment before reuse. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Normal combustion forms carbon dioxide, water vapor and may produce oxides of nitrogen, sulfur. Combustion may produce toxic compounds of chlorine. Incomplete combustion can produce carbon monoxide. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL SPILL/RELEASE MEASURES RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective equipment as prescribed in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons and animals out of the area. Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Dike to confine spill and absorb with a non-combustible

4 absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum, shovel or pump waste into a drum and label contents for disposal. To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with a suitable solution of caustic or soda ash, and an appropriate alcohol (i.e., methanol, ethanol or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water solution. Absorb, as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste already collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13, "Disposal Considerations". SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE GENERAL PROCEDURES: Do not use or store near flame, sparks or hot surfaces. Use only in well ventilated area. Keep container closed. Do not weld, heat or drill container. Replace cap or bung. Emptied container still contains hazardous or explosive vapor or liquid. Keep pesticide in original container. Do not store or transport near food or feed. Do not contaminate food or feed. Do not put concentrate into food or drink containers. Do not dilute concentrate in food or drink containers. Store in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight. SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL/PERSONAL PROTECTION PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT EYES AND FACE: For splash, mist or spray exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield. RESPIRATORY: For splash, mist or spray exposure wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or full-face air-purifying respirator which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN or comparable certification organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne concentrations.

5 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear coveralls or long-sleeved uniform and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills, wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and destroyed. Launder all work clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry). WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of eye or skin contamination. Wash skin prior to eating, drinking or using tobacco. Shower at the end of the workday. GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as nitrile or neoprene. Thoroughly wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.

Breakdown is mainly by aerobic processes, although photolysis may make some contribution. Clethodim may be highly persistent in the aquatic environment. Reported half-lives for Clethodim in the aquatic environment are 128 days in the aqueous phase and 214 days in the sediment. The reported hydrolysis halflife at ph 7-9 is approximately 300 days. SECTION 13. DISPOSAL INFORMATION DISPOSAL METHOD: Open dumping or burning of this material or its packaging is prohibited. If spilled material cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, an acceptable method of disposal is to incinerate in accordance with local, state and national environmental laws, rules, standards and regulations. However, because acceptable methods of disposal may vary by location and regulatory requirements may change, the appropriate agencies should be contacted prior to disposal. EMPTY CONTAINER:

8 Non-returnable containers which held this material should be cleaned, prior to disposal, by triple rinsing. Containers which held this material may be cleaned by being triple-rinsed, and recycled, with the rinsate being incinerated. Do not cut or weld metal containers. Vapors that form may create an explosion hazard. SECTION 14.
