HAZARD IDENTIFICATION 2.1 GHS Classification: No classification 2.2 Label elements: GHS Pictogram None Signal word None Hazard statement None Precautionary statements None Repeated and prolonged exposure to large amounts of talc dust can cause lung injury (pneumoconiosis). Risk of injury is dependent on the duration and level of exposure. SECTION 3. COMPOSITION / INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS The above mentioned products are a natural association of talc, chlorite, magnesite and dolomite. Main constituents CAS Number EC Number Amount (%) Classification Talc (hydrous magnesium silicate) 14807966 2388779 > 96 No Chlorite 1318598 2152859 < 2 No Dolomite 16389881 2404402 < 2 No Magnesite 546930 2089159 < 2 The specific percentages of composition of the ingredients are being withheld as a trade secret. SECTION 4. FIRSTAID MEASURES No 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. SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES 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 firefighters: No specific firefighting protection is required. Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 2015/04/28 (v1.0) p 2 of 7 MT UC Products NAEN 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. SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE 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 well ventilated space. SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION 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 8hour 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. SECTION 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES 9.1 Appearance: White or off white to light grey 9.2 Odor: Odorless 9.3 pH: 99.5 (suspension of 10% talc in water) 9.4 Melting point: >1300C 9.5 Flammability (solid, gas): Not flammable 2015/04/28 (v1.0) p 3 of 7 MT UC Products NAEN Safety Data Sheet 9.6 Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits: Not explosive.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION 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 talc based 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 D2A: very toxic material causing other toxic effects [reference: NTP, Technical report on the toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of talc (cas no. 14807966) in F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice (inhalation studies). Technical report series, No. 421. Research Triangle Park, N.C.: EPA. (1993)]. Chronic toxic effect: impaired pulmonary function in rats at 6 mg/m. NTP: Not listed SECTION 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION 12.1 Aquatic Toxicity: No known effects 2015/04/28 (v1.0) p 4 of 7 MT UC Products NAEN Safety Data Sheet 12.2 Persistence and degradability: This product is an inorganic substance and therefore is not considered biodegradable. 12.3 Bioaccumulative potential: Not relevant 12.4 Mobility in soil: Negligible 12.5 Other adverse effects: No specific adverse effects known SECTION 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS 13.1 Waste disposal information: Talc is not considered a hazardous waste as defined by the US EPA RCRA (40 CFR 261) regulations. Observe all applicable federal, state and local regulations when handling, storing or disposing of this substance. 13.2 Disposal of packaging: Where possible, recycling is preferable to disposal.
