CAS-No.: Mixture Product Code: Date of Preparation: 4/3/ HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview Caution Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe vapours/dust. May cause respiratory tract, eye and skin irritation. May be harmful by inhalation. May cause physical irritation. Color: Brown Physical Powder state: Odor: Odorless Health: Flammability: Physical Hazard: PPE: HMIS 1* X NFPA 74 1 Potential Health Effects Principle routes of exposure: Eye contact: Skin contact: Inhalation: Ingestion: Chronic toxicity: Inhalation, ingestion, skin and eye contact. May cause slight irritation. Prolonged skin contact may cause skin irritation and/or dermatitis. May cause irritation of respiratory tract. May be harmful by inhalation. May irritate digestive tract. No known effects under normal conditions of use. Excessive inhalation of dust may cause chemical pneumonitis, cyanosis, and pulmonary edema. 3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Components CAS Number Weight % Rare Earth Oxide % Rare Earth Fluoride % 1-5% Binder 5-1% Aluminum silicate 5-6% Rare Earth Oxide is a mixture of Cerium Oxide ( ), Lanthanum Oxide ( ), Praseodymium Oxide ( ), and Neodymium Oxide ( ). Rare Earth Fluoride is a mixture of Cerium Fluoride ( ) and Lanthanum Fluoride ( ). This material contains very low levels of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material (NORM).

Get medical attention if irritation develops. Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting. Consult a physician if necessary. Treat symptomatically. Lanthanides, because of their high density, can produce abnormalities on chest x-ray. Lanthanides, generally are not felt to be fibrogenic and the lesions typically have little or no clinical significance. However, occasional cases of pneumoconiosis have been reported. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flash point ( C): Non combustible Suitable extinguishing media: Hazardous decomposition products under fire conditions: Special protective equipment for firefighters: Unusual hazards: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. The product itself does not burn. None under normal use. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-demand, NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions: Environmental precautions: Methods for cleaning up: Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe vapors/dust. Remove all non-essential people from the affected area. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Wear personal protective equipment. Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Dispose of promptly. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe vapours/dust. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Do not take internally. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas of use or storage. Wash thoroughly after handling. Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Exposure limits Minimize exposure in accordance with good hygiene practice. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Product name: Kg KLU Box Page 2 of 5

Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the workstation location. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Safety glasses with side-shields. Lightweight protective clothing. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Keep working clothes separately. Impervious gloves. Follow the recommendations given by the manufacturer of protective gloves. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. NIOSH-approved respirators should be worn where engineering controls and work practices do not reduce exposure to or below the PEL. Seek professional advice prior to respirator selection and use. Wear NIOSH approved respirator to limit exposure to NORM. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. 9.
