1 Material Safety Data Sheet SuperStretch Silicone Molding Rubber Supplier: Gesswein Co., Inc. Address: 201 Hancock Ave., Bridgeport CT Telephone: Fax: Date Prepared: May 20, 2012 Emergency: ChemTel: Telephone: Date Prepared by: Michael Knight SECTION 1: Identity CAS NO.: Chemical Name : Chemical Family: Formula: Mixture VMQ Rubber Compound (Mixture) SECTION 2 - Hazardous Ingredients Principal Hazardous component(s) (chemical & common name(s)) % Threshold Limit Value (units). This mixture has not been evaluated as a whole. All ingredients are bound in a polymer matrix and potential for hazardous exposure as shipped is minimal. However, some fumes may be released upon heating or vulcanization and the end-user (fabricator) must take the necessary precautions (mechanical ventilation, respirator program, etc.) to protect his employees from exposure. (See Section 7 - Special Precautions). The following ingredients are considered hazardous per OSHA MSDS for each is attached: VAROX DBPH IRRITANT NOTE: If chemical is not specifically identified, it is considered proprietary. SECTION 3: Physical and Chemical Characteristics (Fire and Explosion Data) Boiling Point: Vapor Density ( Air = 1 ): Evaporation Rate ( = 1 ): Solid Solid Specific Gravity ( H 2 O = 1 ): 1.07

Local Exhaust: Yes Mechanical (General): Yes Yes ne SECTION 7 - Special Precautions and Spill / Leak Procedures Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Waste Disposal Methods: CAUTION: Nitrosamines - considered to be possible human carcinogens - may be formed during processing of rubber com pounds. Mixing or contacting this products with nitrates or nitrites, as in salt bath curing, may produce hazardous levels of volatile nitrosamines. Avoid inhaling fumes from hot rubber processing - especially vulcanization. Scoop or shovel material and return to original container. See Section Eight for applicable State and Federal regulations. Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. SECTION 8 - Regulatory Information The following ingredients of this mixture are reportable as listed under Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1988 (SARA) and 40 CFR Part 372: Component CAS NO. % ne The user must determine whether a report is required to EPA for any amount of this NOTICE: HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION MATERIAL # : material disposed of or otherwise released into the environment. This notification must remain attached to its accompanying MSDS. If the MSDS is copied or redistributed, a copy of this notification must also be attached. This material is an organic peroxide with potential for eye, skin or respiratory irritation on exposure to vulcanization fumes. Minimize breathing of fumes through adequate ventilation and or organic vapor respirator. As with all rubber compounds, minimize employee exposure through the use of gloves and adequate ventilation.
