1 Release film Website: MSDS No: A2000 Health and Safety at Work - Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Material Safety Data Sheet 1) Chemical Product and Company Identification PRODUCT NAME: A2000 OTHER/GENERIC NAMES: Polyolefine-based release film FORM : Red Transparent Film PRODUCT USE: Release film MANUFACTURER/DISTRIBUTOR: 500 Bradford Road Sandbeds Keighley West Yorkshire BD20 5NG England For more information call +44 (0) (Mon - Thurs 8:30-17:00, Fri 8:30-13:45). 2) Composition/Information on Ingredients Ingredient Name CAS Number Weight % 3) Hazards Identification EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Polyolefins burn primarily to CO2 and H2O. Formation of CO and N2O at partial burning is possible. Formation of toxic, poisonous and/or flammable products at elevated temperatures is not to be excluded. Potential Health Hazards: SKIN: N/A under recommended usage conditions. Wear gloves when handling film and the use of safety knives is recommended. EYES: Dust particles of the laminate may be irritating, solely due to mechanical action of the dust INHALATION: Dust formed during cutting of material can be irritating INGESTION: N/A under recommended usage conditions. DELAYED EFFECTS: None. Ingredients found on one of the OSHA designated carcinogen lists are listed below: None Listed.

2 Website: 4) First Aid Measures SKIN: Immediately flush with plenty of cold water any injuries caused by burning. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not remove burnt film from clothes or skin, as they may do severe damage EYES: N/A under normal usage conditions. INHALATION: After inhalation of smoke caused by burning of film, bring person into fresh air and seek medical attention. INGESTION: None stated by source. ADVICE TO PHYSICIAN: None stated by source. 5) Flammable Properties FLASH POINT: N/A. FLASH POINT METHOD: N/A. AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not known. UPPER FLAME LIMIT (vol. % in air): ---- LOWER FLAME LIMIT (vol. % in air): ---- EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemicals. UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS: CO2 and H2O are the main products. However according to burning conditions, other deterioration products and oxidation products can be formed, ie. CO and N2O amongst other organic molecules. SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PRECAUTIONS/INSTRUCTIONS: None stated by source 6) Accidental Release Measures IN CASE OF SPILL OR OTHER RELEASE: Remove any film from floor, to prevent persons slipping. Remove remainder of fires and contaminated water according to rules of local authorities. 7) Handling and Storage NORMAL HANDLING: Normal personal hygiene and good housekeeping.
