Product and Company Identification Company BASF Polyurethanes GmbH Postfach Lemfoerde, GERMANY 24 Hour Emergency Response Information International emergency number: 2. Hazards Identification Emergency overview EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. IRRITANT. Overexposure may cause CNS depression including headache, dizziness, nausea and loss of consciousness. Irritating to eyes and skin. State of matter: liquid Colour: colourless Odour: of hydrocarbons Potential health effects Acute toxicity: Virtually nontoxic after a single skin contact. Virtually nontoxic by inhalation. Virtually nontoxic after a single ingestion. Assessment other acute effects: Possible narcotic effects (drowsiness or dizziness). Sensitization: The chemical structure does not suggest a sensitizing effect. Chronic toxicity: Carcinogenicity: Based on the ingredients there is no suspicion of a carcinogenic effect in humans. Repeated dose toxicity: No known chronic effects. Reproductive toxicity: The chemical structure does not suggest a specific alert for such an effect. Teratogenicity: The chemical structure does not suggest a specific alert for such an effect.

2 Revision date : 2013/11/25 Page: 2/6 Genotoxicity: The chemical structure does not suggest a specific alert for such an effect. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: difficulty breathing, unconsciousness, dazed state Symptoms can appear later. Information on: Isopentane Overexposure may cause:, unconsciousness, death, weakness, incoordination, nausea, headache, dizziness, aspiration pneumonia Information on: Pentane Overexposure may cause:, CNS depression, unconsciousness, aspiration pneumonia Potential environmental effects Aquatic toxicity: Acutely harmful for aquatic organisms. May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Degradation / environmental fate: Poorly biodegradable. 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients CAS Number Content (W/W) Hazardous ingredients % cyclopentane % isopentane % Pentane 4. First-Aid Measures General advice: Remove contaminated clothing. If inhaled: Remove the affected individual into fresh air and keep the person calm. Assist in breathing if necessary. Immediate medical attention required. If on skin: Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. If in eyes: In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. Immediate medical attention required. Note to physician Treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote. 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Flash point: C Autoignition: Lower explosion limit: Upper explosion limit: Flammability: not flammable Unspecified For liquids not relevant for classification and labelling. The lower explosion point may be 5-15 C below the flash point. For liquids not relevant for classification and labelling.

3 Revision date : 2013/11/25 Page: 3/6 Self-ignition temperature: Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam Hazards during fire-fighting: No particular hazards known. not self-igniting Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear. Further information: Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Use personal protective clothing. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Environmental precautions: Do not empty into drains. Do not discharge into the subsoil/soil. Cleanup: Spills should be contained, solidified, and placed in suitable containers for disposal. 7. Handling and Storage Handling Protection against fire and explosion: Prevent electrostatic charge - sources of ignition should be kept well clear - fire extinguishers should be kept handy. Storage General advice: Avoid extreme heat. Store protected against freezing. Storage incompatibility: General advice: Segregate from strong oxidizing agents. Segregate from foods and animal feeds. Storage stability: Protect against moisture. 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Components with occupational exposure limits isopentane ACGIH TLV TWA value 600 ppm ; Advice on system design: Provide local exhaust ventilation to control vapours/mists. Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic vapour/particulate respirator as needed.

4 Revision date : 2013/11/25 Page: 4/6 Hand protection: Chemical resistant protective gloves Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Wear face shield if splashing hazard exists. General safety and hygiene measures: Avoid contact with skin. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wear protective clothing as necessary to prevent contact. Avoid inhalation of vapours/mists. Wash soiled clothing immediately. 9.
