See SECTION VI - REACTIVITY DATA. NOTES: This product in fiberboard containers of up to 100 lbs. each maximum can be considered as a Class V Peroxide in accordance with Factory Mutual Loss Prevention Data Sheets 7-80. Class V Peroxides present a low or negligible fire hazard. With these peroxides combustible packing materials may present a greater hazard than the peroxide itself.

PAGE 2 of 3 effects OF OVEREXPOSURE: Mild eye, skin and respiratory irritation, Decomposition products end fumes from vulcanization and crossiinking operations may cause eye, skin, and respiratory irritation. See Hercules Bulletin 0&C-304 for summary of -toxicological investigations. EMERGENCY ANO FIRST AID PROCEDURES: EXES: In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. SKIN: Wash thoroughly with soap and running water. Wash clothing before reuse. INHALATION: Remove to'fresh air and, if indicated, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-eo-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. Treat symptomatically. STABILITY UNSTABLE STABLE VI. REACTIVITY DATA CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Stable at room temperatures. Avoid temperatures above 65*C (149*?) or contact with materials listed below. Higher X temperatures or contact with listed materials promote exothermic decomposition. INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID):. Acids .and acidic-cype materials such as FrlsdelCrafts catalysts, strong oxidizing and reducing agents, and oxidation catalysts. Copper, copper alloys, lead and iron. HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Acetone and other ketones, alcohols, methane, and ethane. Under acidic decomposition conditions, phenols may also be formed. Combution products include CO, CO2, and generation of smoke. HAZARDOUS MAY OCCUR POLYMERIZATION WILL n6t OCCUR A CONDITIONS TO AVOID: None VII. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES STEPS TO BE taken IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SP1LLE0: Immaterial is not contaminated, scoop into clean containers for use. If contaminated, scoop into clean containers for disposal. WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: regulations. Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and Federal VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION RESPIRATORY PROTECTION Nuisance dust respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA if airborne (SPECIFY TYPE) dust Is not adequately controlled. Use self-contained breathing apparatus In excessive fumes from product decomposition. VENTILATION LOCAL EXHAUST -- MECHANICAL (GENERAL) PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Chemical resistant OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: -- SPECIAL -- OTHER Use adequate ventilation.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS PRECAUTIONARY LABELING. CANCER! HEAT OR CONTAMINATION MAY CAUSE HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION. VUL-CUP AND ITS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY CAUSE EYE, SKIN, AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION. FLAMMABLE DUST WHEN FINELY DIVIDED AND SUSPENDED IN AIR. , * Do not heat above 65"C (149*F) or permit contact with acids and acidic-type materials such as Friedel-Crafts catalysts, strong oxidizing and reducing agents, or oxidation catalysts. Higher temperatures or contact with these materials promote exothermic decomposition. Avoid contact with copper, copper alloy, lead, and iron as contact with these metals accelerates decomposition. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing dust or vapors of decomposition products Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Clean spills promptly. * * FIRST AID: EYES - In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Call a physician. SKIN - Wash thoroughly with soap and running water. Wash clothing before reuse._ INHALATION - Remove to fresh air and, if indicated, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician. Treat symptomatically. STORAGE: Store below 35C (95"F) in original containers in a ventilated area out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources. Storage at higher temperatures risks melting of the Vul-Cup and the formation of lumps and cakes. SPILLS: If material is not contaminated, scoop into clean containers for use. If contaminated, scoop into clean containers for disposal. Dispose of in accordance with local, state, and Federal regulations. DO 086944 COMfrTDfNTTAi
