1 Safety Data Sheet (SDS) Revision / Review Date: 11/14/14 1. Chemical Product and Company Identification Product Name: Distributed By: MSDS Prepared By (w Suppliers Input): Chemical Name / Family: CAS No.: OSHA Status Not Hazardous Zinc Stearate G HB Chemical 1665 Enterprise Parkway Twinsburg Oh Phone HB Chemical Zinc distearate Stearic Acid, Zinc salt For emergency health, safety, and environmental information, calls For emergency transportation information, in the United States: call CHEMTREC at Hazard(s) Identification Physical Hazards: Health hazards: Environmental hazards: OSHA defined hazards: Label elements: Hazard symbol: Signal word: Hazard statement: Precautionary Statement: Prevention: Response: Storage: Disposal: Hazard not otherwise classified (HNOC): Supplemental information: None. None. The substance does not meet the criteria for classification. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Wash hands after handling. Store away from incompatible materials. Dispose of waste and residues in accordance with local authority requirements. None known. None

2 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients 4. First Aid Measures Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed: Coughing. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. Upper respiratory tract irritation. Skin irritation Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: General information: Inhalation: Eyes: Skin: Ingestion: Treat Symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material involved and take precautions to protect themselves. if dust from the material is inhaled, remove the affected person immediately to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist. Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media: Unsuitable extinguishing media: Special hazards arising from the chemical: Special protective equipment and Precautions for firefighters: Fire-Fighting equipment /instructions: Specific methods: General fire hazards: Water fog. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Do not use water jet as extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.

3 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Environmental precautions: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of low areas. Avoid inhalation of dust from the spilled material. Use a NOIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding exposure limits. Do touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. For personal protection see section 8 of the SDS. the product is immiscible with water and will sediment in water systems. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use a dust suppressant agent which does not react with the product. Collect dust using a vacuum cleaner equipped with HEPA filter. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. 7. Handling and Storage: Precautions for safe handling: Conditions for safe storage: Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust Is formed. Store in original container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials. (See Section 10 of the SDS.) Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Keep containers 8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

4 Biological limit values: Appropriate engineering controls: Respiratory Protection: Thermal hazards: Protective Gloves: Eye Protection: Skin and Body Protection: General hygiene considerations: No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredients. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Ventilation should be sufficient to effectively remove and prevent buildup of any dusts or fumes that may be generated during handling or thermal processing. If engineering measures are not sufficient to maintain concentration of dust particulates below the Occupational Exposure limit (OEL), suitable respiratory protection must be worn. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fume at levels exceeding the exposure limits. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Use tight fitting goggles if dust is generated. Wear suitable protective clothing. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.. 9. Physical and Chemical Properties

5 10. Stability and Reactivity Reactivity: Stability: Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Conditions to Avoid: Hazardous decomposition products: The product is stable and non-reactive under normal conditions. of use, storage and transport. This product is stable under normal conditions. Strong oxidizing agents. Avoid temperatures exceeding the flash point. Contact with incompatible materials. Avoid dispersal of dust in the air (i.e., clearing dust surfaces with compressed air). No hazardous decomposition products are known. 11. Toxicological Information Information on likely routes of exposure Ingestion: Inhalation: Skin contact: Eye contact: Expected to be a low ingestion hazard. Prolonged inhalation may be harmful. Inhalation of dusts may cause respiratory irritation. No adverse effects due to skin contact are expected. Dust in the eyes will cause irritation.

6 Symptoms related to the physical physical, chemical and toxicological characteristics: Information on toxicological effects Acute toxicity: Skin corrosion/irritation: Serious eye damage/eye irritation: Respiratory or skin sensitization: Respiratory sensitization: Skin sensitization: Germ cell mutagenicity: Carcinogenicity: Coughing. Upper respiratory tract irritation. Irritation of eyes and mucous membranes. Skin irritation. Not available. Prolonged skin contact may cause temporary irritation. Dust in the eyes will cause irritation. Not available. This product is not expected to cause skin sensitization. No data available to indicate product or any components present at greater than 0.1% are mutagenic or genotoxic. This product is not considered to be a carcinogen by IARC, ACGIH, NTP, or OSHA. OSHA Specifically Regulated Substances (29 CFR ): Not listed. Reproductive toxicity: Specific target organ toxicity- single exposure: Specific target organ toxicity-repeated exposure: Aspiration hazard: Chronic effects: This product is not expected to cause reproductive or developmental effects. Not available. Prolonged inhalation may be harmful. 12. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity: Persistence and degradability: Bioaccumulative potential: Mobility in soil: Other adverse effects: The product is not classified as environmentally hazardous. However, this does not exclude the possibility that large or frequent spills can have a harmful or damaging effect on the environment. No data is available on the degradability of this product.
