Description of substance/preparation and company Substance/preparation: Description/trade name: KLENAL 45 (Cleaner-Degreaser) Product code: Producer/supplier: Name: ELNA International Address: 5 North Stiles Street, USA Telephone No.: (908) FAX No.: (908) Contact: Mr. Chris Fensham Emergency No.: (908) Composition/components Chemical characterization: Potassium Hydroxide Cleaning Fluid Dangerous components: Potassium hydroxide (CAS No , EC No ) Components with recognized workplace exposure limitations: Ethylene glycol butyl ether (CAS No , EC No ) Propanol-2 (CAS No , EC No ) Non-Hazardous Components: Tetrasodium salt of EDTA (CAS No ) Additional comments: None. 3. Possible dangers Description of dangers: Corrosive Liquid (C), R34 (Causes burns). Special comments for human being and environment: - Product contacting the eye causes severe irritation and/or burns. - Skin exposure may cause irritation and/or burns characterized by redness, swelling, and scab formation. - Inhalation of this material can be irritating to the nose, throat, mouth and lungs. It may also cause burns to the respiratory tract which can result in shortness of breath, wheezing, choking. Chronic inhalation of excessive concentrations of this material may cause impairment of lung function and permanent lung damage.

Inhalation: If discomfort is experienced from overexposure, employee should leave contaminated atmosphere until proper ventilation is restored. If breathing has stopped, resuscitate and administer oxygen if available. Seek medical attention immediately. Skin contact: Wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, hold lids apart to ensure flushing of entire eye. Seek medical aid immediately. Ingestion: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If swallowed do not induce vomiting. Give large quantities of water. If available, give several glasses of milk. If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep airways clear. Comments for physician: None. 5. Measures of fire fighting Appropriate extinguishing means: Foam, Water Spray (Fog), Dry Chemical, CO 2. Unsuitable means: Not applicable. Conditions to avoid: Empty containers retain product residue and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, weld, cut braze, solder, drill or expose containers to heat, flame, sparks or other sources of ignition. Special protection equipment: Use supplied air breathing equipment for enclosed or confined spaces. Additional information: This material is non-flammable. If exposed to fire from another source, use extinguishing media suitable for that source. 6. Measures on unintentional release Personnel measures: - Avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not breathe in vapors/aerosols/products of decomposition. Environmental measures: - Keep product out of ground water, watercourses or sewage plants. - Advise authorities, if the product contacts ground water, watercourses or contaminates the ground. Procedure for clean-up/removal:

3 Page 3 of 6 - Apply appropriate absorbent substance (e.g. Sand or sawdust); dispose of contaminated absorbent substance appropriately; wash affected surfaces thoroughly. Additional comments: None. 7. Handling and storage Safe handling procedure: - As a general rule, careful handling practice should be observed. - Insure adequate ventilation in the event of vapor/aerosols/decomposition products forming. Fire/explosion protection: (See Section 5) Storage: - Store in durable containers at a cool temperature, away from heat and extreme cold, as well as materials presenting fire hazard; keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Information relating to mixed storage: None. Additional information: None. 8. Exposure limitation and individual protective equipment Constituents with recognized workplace exposure limitations: Name CAS No. Limit* Potassium hydroxide mg/m3 ACGIH Ceiling Limit Ethylene glycol butyl ether ppm OSHA TWA, 25 ppm ACGIH TWA Propanol ppm ACGIH/OSHA TWA *Note: ACGIH = American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (USA) OSHA = Occupational Safety and Health Administration (USA) TWA = 8 hour time weighted average Individual protective equipment: Respiratory protection: Ensure proper ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor, mist or fumes of decomposition products. Use approved respiratory protection when recognized exposure limitations are exceeded. Hand protection: Chemical resistant gloves, if necessary. Eye protection: Full-vision goggles or face mask if eye contact may occur.

4 Page 4 of 6 Body protection: Chemical resistant apron or other impervious protective clothing, if needed. Protective and hygiene measures: - Avoid contact with skin and eyes; avoid excessive inhalation of vapor/aerosols/decomposition products. - Remove soiled shoes and clothing. - Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water after contact with skin, before breaks and before leaving work. - Apply protective skin cream as a precautionary measure, if necessary. 9.
