COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Material or Component CAS No. % by Weight Titanium Dioxide 13463-67-7 80-99 Amorphous Silica 7631-86-9 Up to 10 max. Aluminum Hydroxides 21645-51-2 Up to 6 max. (as Al 2 0 3 ) (See Section 8 for exposure guidelines) 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW White odorless powder. Chemically stable and inert. Does not pose a fire hazard. May have a drying effect on mucous membranes and skin.
PAGE: 2 of 7 POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS INHALATION: Inert nuisance dust. Temporary drying effect and/or mild irritation of mucous membranes may result from excessive exposure. Exposure to dust may aggravate pre-existing respiratory conditions. EYES: Inert foreign body hazard only. SKIN: Non-corrosive and non-sensitizing. Prolonged contact may result in rashes/irritations due to drying of the skin and/or mechanical abrasion related to skin-to-clothing contact or skin-to-skin contact. SKIN ABSORPTION: Not applicable. INGESTION: No adverse health effects anticipated by this route during proper industrial handling. CHRONIC EFFECTS/CARCINOGENICITY: Titanium Dioxide is listed by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B). This listing is based on inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and sufficient evidence in experimental animals. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES INHALATION: No specific treatment is necessary. If exposed to excessive levels of dust, remove to fresh air EYES: Flush with large amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention. SKIN: Wash with water and mild soap. Use of moisturizer may be helpful. INGESTION: No adverse health effects anticipated by this route during proper industrial handling. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES FLASH POINT: None. AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not applicable. FLAMMABLE LIMITS: Not applicable. EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Not applicable.
PAGE: 3 of 7 FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Products supplied in groundable semi-bulk containers must be grounded to avoid discharge of static electricity while transporting the container or emptying its contents. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: None. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Vacuum or sweep material and place in disposal container. Prevent run-off from entering storm sewers and ditches which lead to natural waterways. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING: Minimize breathing dust and contact with skin. Products supplied in groundable semi-bulk containers must be grounded to avoid discharge of static electricity while transporting the container or emptying its contents. Take suitable precautions against the discharge of static electricity during powder handling operations. STORAGE: Store in dry area. Can cause slippery condition if wet. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Good natural ventilation will be sufficient in most circumstances. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary if airborne dust concentration approaches the exposure limit(s). INHALATION PROTECTION: Use NIOSH approved dust or HEPA-type respirator if exposure limit(s) is or may be exceeded. EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with sideshields, faceshield, and/or goggles to protect against airborne dust. HAND PROTECTION: Use of gloves is suggested when prolonged or repeated contact with hands is likely. SKIN PROTECTION: Individuals having sensitive skin may find it beneficial to use a barrier cream or moisturizer when excessive or prolonged contact with skin is likely.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Products are chemically stable and non-reactive. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Titanium Dioxide: In lifetime inhalation studies of rats, airborne respirable-size titanium dioxide particles have been shown to cause lung tumors at concentrations associated with substantial particle lung burdens and consequential pulmonary overload and inflammation. However, other laboratory animals such as mice and hamsters did not develop lung tumors under similar testing with titanium dioxide. Furthermore, human epidemiology studies do not suggest an association between occupational exposure to titanium dioxide and risk for cancer. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION n.e.
PAGE: 5 of 7 Available evidence indicates that Titanium Dioxide does not cause any significant adverse environmental effects. Titanium Dioxide does not bioaccumulate. 13.
