HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Skin Contact : Contact with fibers may cause physical irritation of skin. Inhalation : Some individuals, e.g. with asthma or bronchitis, are likely to be intolerant of high concentrations of airborne fibers or fiber dust when processing. Skin Absorption : Unknown Eye Contact : Fibers or fiber dust may cause irritation or scratch the surface of the eyes. Ingestion : Unknown 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Eyes : Flush with water to remove particles. Skin : Wash off with soap and water. Inhalation : Remove to fresh air if effects occur and should seek medical attention is coughing or other symptoms occur. Ingestion : No treatment required (no harm). Notes to Physician: Fibers can be regarded as physiologically inert since, no poisoning or other injurious effects have been observed in cases where this material has been used internally (surgical sutures, replacement of blood vessels, etc.). On external contact, no signs of dermatitis or other skin injuries have been observed. 1page

PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION Product name : Product Grade/Type : Yarn, Staple, Floc, Fabric MSDS Number : Manufacturer : E.I. du Pont Canada Company P.O. Box 2200, Streetsville Mississauga, ON L5M 2H3 Canada Product Information : Medical Emergency : (24 hours) SECTION 2. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview The hazards of this product are associated mainly with its processing. Processing para-aramid products can release respirable dust and respirable fibre particulate. Dust may form explosive mixture in air. Prolonged inhalation of respirable dust and respirable fibre particulate at high concentrations can cause lung damage. High concentrations of dust can irritate eyes, nose and respiratory system and cause coughing and sneezing. Continual rubbing of fibre particulates and dust on the skin can cause a transitory, mild irritation with redness or itching. Potential Health Effects Carcinogenicity None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, or OSHA, as a carcinogen. 1 / 7

FIRST AID MEASURES General advice : No hazards which require special first aid measures. If symptoms persist, call a physician. If irritation occurs, flush area thoroughly with water. SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties Flash point : not applicable Thermal decomposition Fire and Explosion Hazard Suitable extinguishing media : > 300 C (> 572 F) : Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. : Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. 2 / 7

7 Firefighting Instructions : Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with cleanup. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up. Safeguards (Personnel) Spill Cleanup Accidental Release Measures : None. : Avoid dust formation. Clean up dusts and fibres with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered vacuum equipment, or by wet cleaning. : Do not let product enter drains. SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling (Personnel) : Avoid dust formation. Exposure to fibre fly, dust and decomposition products of spinfinishes should be avoided by ventilation and/or vacuum cleaning. Do not touch moving threadlines. Entanglement with this fibre can severely cut or even sever fingers. Avoid breathing dust. Storage : Keep away from direct sunlight. SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Engineering controls : Ensure adequate ventilation. Recirculated air should be filtered to remove respirable dust. Provide for appropriate exhaust ventilation and dust collection at machinery. Static charges can cause explosions in solvent and dust laden 3 / 7
