Risk of injury is dependent on the duration and level of exposure. Sectio n 3. Co m p o sit io n / In fo r m a t io n o n In g r e d ie n t s The above mentioned products are a natural association of talc, chlorite, magnesite and dolomite. Main constituents Talc (hydrous magnesium silicate) Chlorite Dolomite Magnesite CAS Number 14807-96-6 1318-59-8 16389-88-1 546-93-0 EC Number 238-877-9 215-285-9 240-440-2 208-915-9 Amount (%) > 96 <2 <2 <2 Classification No No No No The specific percentages of composition of the ingredients are being withheld as a trade secret. Sectio n 4. Fir s t -a id Mea su r es Description of first aid measures: Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Ingestion: Drink plenty of water. Never give liquid to an unconscious person. Eye contact: Immediately rinse with water for several minutes. Skin contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Sectio n 5. Fir e - fig h t in g Mea su r e s 5.1 Extinguishing media: All extinguishing media can be used. 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: The product is not flammable, combustible or explosive. No hazardous thermal decomposition. 5.3 Advice for fire-fighters: No specific fire-fighting protection is required. Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. Sectio n 6. A c c id e n t a l Relea se Mea su r e s Safety Data Sheet 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use proper respiratory and personal protective equipment. MSHA/NIOSH or OSHA/NIOSH approved respirator recommended. Spilled materials may cause slippery conditions when wet. Care should be exercised when walking on spills on floor or concrete pads. 6.2 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Dry product should be cleaned with a shovel or vacuum cleaner while wearing the personal protective equipment described above. Do not discharge into drains, watercourses or onto the ground. Washing the floor with water is not recommended since it may cause the floor to become slippery. However, if talc is already wet, and only in this case, the floor should be thoroughly flushed with water to remove all slipperiness. Sectio n 7. Ha n d lin g a n d St o r a g e 7.1 Precautions for safe handing: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. If excessive dust is generated, provide adequate ventilation and use proper respiratory and personal protective equipment. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage: Keep the product dry and in closed containers. Store it in a cool and wellventilated space. Sectio n 8. Ex p o su r e Co n t r o ls / Pe r s o n a l Pr o tec tio n 8.1 Control parameters: Follow workplace regulatory exposure limits for all types of airborne dust (e.g. total dust, respirable dust, and respirable crystalline silica dust). In the U.S., the ACGIH OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit) for talc containing no asbestos fibers and less than 1% crystalline silica is 2 mg/m3 respirable fraction measured as an 8-hour TWA (Time Weighted Average). The OSHA exposure limit for talc is 20 mppcf Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) TWA. For the equivalent limits in other countries, please consult a competent occupational hygienist or the local regulatory authority. 8.2 Appropriate engineering controls: Use exhaust ventilation, if required, to maintain dust concentration below recommended exposure limits. 8.3 Personal protection measures: (a) Eye protection: Wear side shield safety glasses. (b) Hand protection: Rubber gloves are recommended for prolonged exposure. (c) Respiratory protection: If a respirator is required, use of a MSHA/NIOSH or OSHA/NIOSH approved respirator is recommended. Sectio n 9.

To x ic o lo g ic a l In fo r m a tio n Carcinogenic Status: IARC: In 2006, IARC concluded that inhaled talc not containing asbestos or asbestiform fibers is not classifiable as a human carcinogen (Group 3). IARC ruled that there is limited evidence that the use of talcbased body powder for perineal dusting is a possible risk factor for ovarian cancer (Group 2B). This is not a route of exposure relevant to workers and applies only to one specific use of talc. OSHA: Not listed ACGIH: A4 - not classified as a human carcinogen WHMIS: Class D-2A: very toxic material causing other toxic effects [reference: NTP, Technical report on the toxicology and carcinogenesis studies o f talc (cas no. 14807-96-6) in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice (inhalation studies).
