Product Identification Product name : Titanium (IV) Oxide, Titanium dioxide, titanium white CI Name and Numbers: Pigment white 6 / CAS No.: Product Code : MTR-801 Company Name: TRION Chem. Address: 43 Corporate Park, Suite 202, Irvine, CA, Tel : Emergency contact phone number : Revision date: 10/14/ COMPOSITION/INFORATION ON INGREDIENTS Ingredient CAS No Percent % Others - 7.5% * Others : Aluminum hydroxide / Zirconium Oxide 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Hazard Summary: Health Rating: 1 Flammability Rating: 0 - None Reactivity Rating: 0 - None Lab Protective Equip: GOGGLES; LAB COAT Storage Color Code: Orange (General Storage) Page 1 of 7 Revision date: 10/14/2013

2 Potential health effects Inhalation: May cause mild irritation to the respiratory tract. Ingestion: Not expected to be a health hazard via ingestion. Skin Contact: May cause mild irritation and redness. Eye Contact: May cause mild irritation, possible reddening. Chronic Exposure: Titanium dioxide has been characterized by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) through inhalation (not ingestion). This classification is based upon animal inhalation studies. Epidemiology studies do not suggest an increased risk of cancer in humans from occupational exposure to titanium dioxide. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing lung disease may be more susceptible to the effects of this substance. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Get medical attention for any breathing difficulty. Ingestion: Not expected to require first aid measures. If large amounts were swallowed, give water to drink and get medical advice. Skin Contact: Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Get medical attention if irritation develops. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention if irritation persists. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Fire: Not considered to be a fire hazard. Explosion: Not considered to be an explosion hazard.

3 Fire Extinguishing Media: Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. 6. ACCIDENTIAL RELEASE MESURES Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. 7. HANDING AND STORAGE Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS Good general ventilation should be provided to keep dust concentrations below the exposure limits. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT If exposure limits are exceeded for dust or dried-down product, a NIOSH approved air purifying respirator with appropriate particulate filter should be used. Protective gloves should be worn to prevent prolonged skin contact with alkaline slurries. For dry product or dried-down product use a protective barrier cream and/or protective gloves to prevent skin contamination. Eye protection (minimum: safety glasses with side shields) is also required when handling titanium dioxide. EXPOSURE GUIDELINES Applicable Exposure Limits TITANIUM DIOXIDE PEL (OSHA) : 15 mg/m3, total dust, 8 Hr. TWA, TLV (ACGIH) : 10 mg/m3, total dust, 8 Hr. TWA, A4 AEL * (Global) : 10 mg/m3, total dust, 8 Hr. TWA AEL * (Global) : 5 mg/m3, respirable dust, 8 Hr. TWA Page 3 of 7 Revision date: 10/14/2013

4 * AEL is global Acceptable Exposure Limit. Where governmentally imposed occupational exposure limits which are lower than the AEL are in effect, such limits shall take precedence. 9.PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Appearance: White Powder. Odor: Odorless. Solubility: Insoluble in water. Specific Gravity: ph: Boiling Point: C ( F) Melting Point: 1855C (3371F) Vapor Density (Air=1): Not applicable. Vapor Pressure (mm Hg): Not applicable. Evaporation Rate (BuAc=1): No information found. 10.STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Stability: Stable under normal operating conditions of use and storage. Hazardous Decomposition Products: No information found. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Conditions to avoid : Avoid contact with metals at high temperatures Page 4 of 7 Revision date: 10/14/2013

5 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ANIMAL DATA Some (but not all) grades of "GLOBAL" contain Amorphous Silica. "GLOBAL" Oral ALD : >24,000 mg/kg in rats Dermal ALD : >10,000 mg/m3 in rabbits Inhalation 4-hour ALC : >6.82 mg/l in rats Amorphous Silica Oral LD50 : >10,000 mg/kg in rats The product contains which is a slight (HMIS scale) or moderate (Global scale) eye irritant and a slight skin irritant, but is not a skin sensitizer in animals. This product may contain Amorphous Silica which is a mild eye irritant and is a negligible to slight skin irritant when tested as a 50% aqueous paste in animals. Amorphous Silica dust is not expected to be a skin irritant. Animal testing indicates Amorphous Silica is not a skin sensitizer. In short term inhalation studies of mixtures containing 6% Aluminum Hydroxide and 8% Silicon Dioxide, a slight fibrogenic response occurred in animals exposed to 1,300 mg/m3 for 4 weeks respirable dust. A typical dust cell reaction but no fibrogenic response was noted in animals similarly exposed to, or mixtures containing from 1% to 3% Aluminum Hydroxide, and 2.7 to 6% Silicon Dioxide. Repeated inhalation exposure to Amorphous Silica caused pulmonary changes including reversible inflammation. Long-term exposure caused pulmonary changes including reversible inflammation, vascular obstruction and emphysema. Guinea pigs exposed to Aluminum Hydroxide by inhalation exhibited no evidence of injurious effects but did show progressive accumulation of aluminum in the lungs. Repeated and long term ingestion of caused no significant toxicological effects. Single, repeated and long-term exposure by ingestion to Amorphous Silica caused no significant toxicological effects. Ingestion of Aluminum Hydroxide caused growth impairment, and bone changes due to phosphate depletion in animals but ingestion of phosphate eliminates these changes; no evidence of other toxicity was noted.

6 In lifetime inhalation studies of respirable at levels up to 250 mg/m3, no compound-related clinical signs of toxicity were seen in the exposed animals. Slight pulmonary fibrosis was seen at 50 and 250 mg/m3 respirable dust levels but not at 10 mg/m3. There was no evidence of cancer in animals exposed to 10 or 50 mg/m3 respirable Titanium Dioxide. Microscopic lung tumors were seen in 17 percent of the rats exposed to 250 mg/m3 respirable. The lung tumors seen in the rat were different from common human lung cancers, relative to anatomic type and location, occurred only at dust levels which overwhelmed the animals lung clearance mechanism and, therefore, are of questionable biological relevance for man. In lifetime animal feeding tests at levels up to 50,000 ppm, showed no evidence of cancer or other significant adverse effects in either rats or mice. No animal data are available to define the developmental or reproductive toxicity of. Tests have shown that does not cause genetic damage in bacterial or mammalian cell cultures, orin animals. Animal testing indicates Amorphous Silica does not have carcinogenic or reproductive effects. Amorphous Silica has not produced genetic damage in bacterial cultures. Titanium dioxide has been characterized by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) through inhalation (not ingestion). It has not been characterized as a potential carcinogen by either NTP or OSHA. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicological Information Aquatic Toxicity 96 hour LC50, fathead minnows : >1,000 mg/l 13.
