2 Precautionary Statements Prevention Keep container tightly closed Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking Obtain special instructions before use Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection Response In case of major fire and large quantities: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion IF INHALED: Remove person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention Call a POISON CENTER/ doctor if you feel unwell Storage Store locked up Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed Disposal Dispose of contents/container to an approved waste disposal plant 3. Composition/Information on Ingredients Component CAS-No Weight % Talc Quartz First-aid measures Eye Contact Skin Contact Inhalation Ingestion Most important symptoms/effects Notes to Physician Suitable Extinguishing Media Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention. Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. Move to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention immediately if symptoms occur. Do not induce vomiting. Obtain medical attention.. Treat symptomatically 5. Fire-fighting measures Substance is nonflammable; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. Page 2 / 7

Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to Page 3 / 7

4 control hazardous materials at source Personal protective equipment Eye Protection Hand Protection Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR or European Standard EN166. Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure. Glove material Breakthrough time Glove thickness Glove comments Nitrile rubber See manufacturers - Splash protection only recommendations Inspect gloves before use. observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. (Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information) gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion. gloves with care avoiding skin contamination. Respiratory Protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted Environmental exposure controls. Hygiene Measures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. 9.
