Use appropriate respirator tor protection against possible exposure to CO or COr It may not be obvious that the carbon black is burning unless the material Is stirred and sparks are apparent Explosion Data The National Electrical Code (NEC) is derived from NFPA Standard 70, and Is referenced in the OSHA regulations. Under the NEC, Chapter 5, Article 500-3, carbon blade dusts are included under FPN No. 14, Group F dusts if they contain "more than 8% total volatile matter*. Carbon blade dusts containing less than 0% total volatile matter are not considered to present explosion hazards. CABOT carbon blacks are well below 8% total volatile matter. Section V - Health Hazard Data Effects of Exposure: inhalation Acute None expected. Temporary discomfort to the upper respiratory tract may occur due to inhalation of dust con centrations above the Threshold Limfc Value (TLV). Chronic Cartxjn black contains less than 0.1% of adsorbed polynuclear aromatic compounds (PNA). in non-adsorbed form, some PNA's have been found to be carcinogens to certain studies. No carcinogenic effect, however, has been found in humans due to exposure to carbon black. Carbon biack is not considered a car cinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the Occuptionai Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), or the National Toxicology Program (NIP). Epidemiologic studies of workers in the carbon black producing industry in the U.S. and w. Europe show no significant adverse health effects due to occupational exposure to carbon black. Some studies in the USSR and E. Europe report respiratory diseases, including: bronchitis, pneumoconiosis, emphysema and rhinitis among some workers. Such studies are of questionable validity due to inadequate study design and methodology. lack of appropriate controls for cigarette smoking and other confounding factors, such as carbon monoxide, coal oil and petroleum vapors. Moreover, review of these studies indi cates that the concentration of carbon black was substantially greater than OSHA recommended levels. * r~r-n -M C Q77 1 C9Q onne ram TT02SSTZ 03/18/92 14:11 0216 933 1676 BF6 C.V. PURKS @004 Section V (Continued) page 91-01-3 Chronic Inflammation, lung fibrosis, and lung tumors have been found in preliminary studies in rats experi mentally exposed, for long periods of time, to excessive concentrations of carbon black and other Insoluble dust particles which overwhelm the lung clearance mechanisms. The researchers who conducted these tests believe that these conditions most Beefy result from the massive accumulation of small dust particles in the lung, the "dust overload phenomenon", rather than from a specific chemical effect of the dust particles^ Such effects occur only when the lungs are overloaded w5h an excess of small panicles.They are unlftely to result from workplace exposures to carbon black at or below the TLV. Human studies have not found that workplace exposures to carbon blade at or below the TLV cause these effects. Effects of Exposure: Skin Acute None significant See Section VUI-Hygienic Practices.

Section X - Regulatory Information The trade name substances BLACK PEARLS, ELFTEX. MOGUL. CSX, MONARCH, REGAL, STER LING, VULCAN,and CRX are names for CABOTcarbon blacks, and are registered trade names of Cabot Corporation. Carbon black. CAS No. 1333-86-4appears on the TSCA inventory (U.S.), E1NECS (Europe). A1CS (Australia). CEPA (Canada), and MlTl (Japan) as a chemical of commerce in these jurisdictions. Carbon black does not contain substances identified under SARA, Title Id, Section 302. as extremely hazardous, orunder Section 313 as a toxic chemical. Carbon black must be reported as a hazardous chemical on Tier 1 and Ter 11 reports, under SARASections 311/312, if the threshold quantity of 10.000 lbs is exceeded annually. Special Skipping Information The intergovernmental Maritime Consultative Organization (IMCO) does classify carbon black as a "hazard ous cargo" for the purposes of shipping, unless the shipment is accompanied by a statement that the carbon blacks contained In it are not subject to the IMCO code provisions for hazard dass 4.2 because they pass the test for non-acUvated carbons described on page 4082-1. All CABOT carbon blacks pass this IMCO test and may be shipped with this disclaimer. The Bureau of Explosives of the Association of American Railroads has ruled It is unnecessary to classify car bon black as hazardous under DOT regulations. Carton black is moved as a non-hazardous material by rail. The information set forth above is based on information whk* Cabot Corporator believes to be accurate.

PURKS December 9, 1991 @006 TO: CABOT CUSTOMERS USING CARBON BLACK The Environmental Health Association of the Carbon Black Industry has learned that two research laboratories. The Lovelace Inhalation Toxicology Research Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and the Fraunhofer Institute in Hannover, Germany, has obtained preliminary results from laboratory studies on rats which link inhalation of high concentrations of various insoluble dusts, such as carbon black and titanium dioxide, for prolonged periods of time with a variety of lung abnormalities. In these studies, each rat was exposed to high concentrations of a particular airborne dust for 12 - 19 hours daily for oeriods of up to two years, which resulted in an impaired ability of the lungs to cleanse themselves of deposited particles. Preliminary results show that all of these dusts produced a group of effects on the lung labelled by the researchers as the "Long Overload Phenomenon". These effects include chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and benign and malignant tumors. Final assessment of the relevance of these preliminary findings must await interpretation, publication, and review of the data. However, the researchers who conducted the tests believe that the effects observed in the rats most likely resulted from chronic inflammation caused by heavy dust accumulations in the deep lung, rather than from a specific chemical effect. Furthermore, epidemiological studies have not found that workplace exposure to carbon black at or below the Threshold Limit Value (TLV) causes these effects in humans. Consequently, it would be inappropriate to conclude from the findings that carbon black will produce disabling pneumoconiosis under conditions of occupational" exposure, or that it is a carcinogen. Cabot is committed to communicating information relevant to the health and safety of its customers and employees. This letter reflects that commitment. In addition, Cabot has modified Section V of its Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for carbon black, in which the studies discussed above are described. A copy of the revised MSDS is attached.

Also, resin is prone to static electric buildup and discharge. To minimize dust explosion potential; - Prevent accumulation of dust (e.g., well ventilated conditions, promptly vacuuming spills, cleaning overhead horizontal surfaces, etc.) Eliminate ignition, sources such as sparks or static buildup (e.g, humidification). - Bond, ground and properly vent containers, conveyors, dust control devices and other transfer equipment. Use only grounded electrically conductive transfer lines when pneumatically conveying resin. Nitrogen or other inert gas can be used to lower the oxygen content of the atmosphere in conveying equipment. - A properly engineered explosion suppression system should be considered where large amounts of resin are handled. See standards such as the National Fire Protection Association NFPA 654, "Standard for the Prevention of Dust Explosions in the Plastics Industry," NFPA 69, "Explosion Prevention Systems," NFPA 68, "Explosion Venting Protection," NFPA 77, "Static Electricity" and spther standards as the need exists.

Carbon dioxide is generally not recommended for use on Class A fires as a lack of cooling capacity may result in reignition. Special Firefighting Procedure Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Personnel not having suitable respiratory protection must leave the area to prevent significant exposure to toxic combustion gases froiu any source. In enclosed or poorly ventilated areas, wear SCBA during cleanup immediately after a fire as well as during the attack phase of firefighting operations. Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards None expected for elastomer as delivered. NOTE: As delivered, powder elastomers do not represent a dust explosion hazard based on tests using the Hartmann vertical tube apparatus. These elastomers do not contain "fines,** or dust, of sufficient particle size or amount to propagate ignition by this method of test. ^ LA -2- MSDS 88159 O *0 CO CAUTION: Grinding powder elastomers nay produce particles TM*n enough to create a dust explosion potential* As the need exists, implement standard safety precautions for handling finely divided powders such as eliminating likely sources of ignition, including static buildup, providing adequate ventilation, properly maintai ning and operating dust control devices, and properly bonding and groundingsprocessing equipment* SECTION V - REACTIVITY DATA stability Stable Hazardous Polymerization Will not occur Incompatibility Conditions to avoid: Overheating Materials to avoid: None known Hazardous Decomposition Products CO, 002, HCN and small amounts of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Carcinogenicity Products not listed by IARC, NTP or OSHA. Medical Conditions Aggravated bv Exposure None known for product as delivered. Acute Health Effects None known. Chronic Health Effects None known. Routes of Entry Inhaling process vapors. Skin contact. Effects of Overexposure - None expected at ambient temperature. Talc (dust) may cause eye irritation in the same nwrippr as nuisance dust. Dust can cause shortness of breath, chronic cough or upper respiratory tract irritation. - No adverse health effects are expected during normal processing when potential exposures are eliminated by good industrial hygiene practice and well ventilated conditions. At processing temperatures, the sum total of ft 11 ingredients may emit fumes vapors that may cause irritation to the respiratory tract, eyes and/or skin of sensitive people. Typically, these effects are reversible upon removal from exposure and no lasting effects are expected. Most importantly, the potential for irritation will depend on the effectiveness of exhaust ventilation provided to the process area. - Overexposure to decomposition or combustion products will cause irritation, of the respiratory tract, eyes and skin. Symptoms such as coughing, tearing, and irritation should be regarded as potentially hazardous and measures taken to avoid exposure. Emergency and First Aid Procedure - Eve Contact: Treat as any foreign particulate matter. - Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water;. No effects requiring first aid are expected. - Dust Inhalation: Remove individual to fresh air. NOTE: For any of the above, if irritation develops, see a physician. If irritation persists from exposure to processing vapors or decomposition products, remove the affected individual from the area. Call a physician. Provide protection before allowing reentry. 1552024 3 MSDS 88159 S taw: VII - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE step3 to be taken in material is nr spilled Pick up slabs. Sweep, shovel or vacuum powder, crumbs or chunks into containers for reuse or disposal. Waste Disposal Method landfill or incineration in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. These products are not defined or designated as hazardous by current provisions of the Federal (EPA) Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA, 40CFR261). Precautions to taken in handling and storage - Avoid breathing dust. - Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged akin contact. - Normal Melt Processing. Virtually all elastomers will emit fumes and/or vapors when heated to processing temperatures. The concentration and composition of these vapors will depend upon variables such as the specific formulation and processing method and temperature. Always use Hycar* elastomers under well ventilated conditions and avoid continued or prolonged breathing of process vapors. For personal hygiene, wash thoroughly after processing compound, especially before eating, smoking or using toilet facilities. Do not store or consume food in processing areas. Do not use processing equipment to heat food. - Cleanup following normal processing should be performed under well ventilated conditions. Elastomer may be held at process temperatures for a short time without significant thermal degradation. However, it should be noted that exposure to either elevated temperature or excessive heat history (time) will result in decomposition. Equipment should not be shut down for extended time periods with compound in it or decomposition will occur. - Processing fume condensates, which may include toxic contaminants, may be combustible and should be periodically removed from exhaust hoods, ductwork and other surfaces. Protective clothing, including rubber gloves, should be worn during cleanup operations to prevent skin contact. - Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light to maintain quality. - Abnormal conditions such as equipment malfunction or using improper equipment or procedures, or hangup or stagnation of material during processing may cause decomposition. Employees involved in removing decomposing material should be provided suitable air-supplied respirators, such as NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. - Compounding ingredients purchased to add to Hycar elastomer may require special handling. It is your responsibility to follow the recommended precautions of the individual additive suppliers. - Post-processing operations at your workplace or at your customer's workplace involving heat sufficient to result in polymer breakdown emitting smoke and fumes should always be conducted in such a manner to avoid inhalation of fumes. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided to prevent significant employee exposure. v 21552025 -4 MSDS 88159 i SECTION VIII - OOWraOL MEASURES ventilation Effective general and, if necessary* local exhaust ventilation must always be provided to draw fumes get vapors away from workers to prevent routine inhalation.

D-7, Cincinnati, OH 45211-4438 ($20.00 as of October, 1988). Respiratory Protection Not typically required. If protection against dust is necessary, wear a particulate respirator approved by NIOSH/MSHA. Abnormal conditions such as equipment malfunction, use of improper equipment or procedures, or hangup or stagnation of compound during processing may cause decomposition. If general or local exhaust ventilation is not adequate to keep fume or vapor concentrations at nonirritating levels, then employees involved in removing decomposing material must be provided with suitable air supplied respirators, such as NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus Protective Eauirment - Safety glasses (goggles suitable for keeping dust out of the eyes when handling powdered rubber) - Protective gloves.

Compliance with All applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations remains the responsibility of the user. APPENDIX A - ACHYLXIM By simulating manufacturing conditions, we have generated objective data indicating that Hycar NBR elastomers are incapable of releasing acrylonitrile resulting in airborne concentrations above one (1) ppm under normally expected conditions of handling, processing and use. Exaggerated conditions, including open mill mixing at elevated temperatures, indicates the maximum acrylonitrile level to which a mill operator would be exposed to is less than 0.5 ppm. Based on these data, Hycar* NBR elastomers do not require warning labels under the acrylonitrile standard (OSHA 1910.1045). Customers should not claim exemption from any of the provisions of the OSHA standard by use of BPGoodrich data alone, but should do sufficient in-plant testing of acrylonitrile levels to assure compliance of their operations. APPENDIX B - BUTADIENE Personnel monitoring during manufacture of Hycar* 1043 and 1094 elastomer determined that worker exposure level was below 0.2 ppm. This is well below the 10 ppm Threshold Limit Value established by ACGIH. Based on our experience, we expect the presence of butadiene in the ambient workplace air to be below 1.5 ppm for all Hycar* elastomers. APPENDIX C - STYRENE During March, 1988, based upon revised definitions, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reclassified styrene monomer from Group 3 to Group 2B. For hazard communication purposes under OSHA Standard 1910.1200, this reclassification requires styrene monomer to be listed as a possible carcinogen. Literature reports indicate that styrene can damage chromosomes (Clastogen). The human health implications of these Invivo/Invitro results are not known. Styrene is not teratogenic but may damage a developing fetus. 6 MSDS 88159 .
