Consumer: For the substance propenyl succinic anhydride, no consumer use and no use associated with general population exposure is supported. Workers: The substance (Pentapropenylsuccinimido)-caproic acid (Penta-PSCA) is manufactured in closed process, in high integrity contained systems where only little potential exists for exposure of workers. It is used under well controlled conditions by workers in industrial settings & professional settings. All exposure scenarios are assessed as safe regarding worker exposure. The risk management measures listed for protection of workers and the environment are implemented as described during the manufacture and loading processes at their production site. The risk management measures for this product are communicated to downstream users by means of a safety data sheet. Effect Assessment Acute Toxicity Oral/dermal/inhalation Irritant effect on skin & eyes Sensitisation No significant toxic effect was found on Oral/dermal/inhalation, however may damage fertility or the unborn child Not irritant to skin and eye Not sensitizing to skin Page 2 of 5

3 Toxicity after repeated exposure Genotoxicity / Mutagenicity Carcinogenicity Toxicity for reproduction Not classified as toxic after repeated exposure Based on available data not mutagenic / genotoxic not considered as carcinogenic based on available data to be classified as a reprotoxicant ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS As per CLP/GHS, the substance (Pentapropenylsuccinimido)-caproic acid (Penta-PSCA) is not classified as toxic to aquatic organisms. But the substance is classified as dangerous for the environment & toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment according to DSD / DPD. Furthermore the substance is evaluated to be not PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic) or vpvb (very persistent, very bioaccumulative). Effect Assessment Aquatic toxicity (fish, algae, daphnia and microorganisms) Fate and Behaviour Biodegradation Bioaccumulation potential PBT / vpvb conclusion No environmental classification is proposed since no (adverse) effects are expected for aquatic organisms as per CLP/GHS but classified as dangerous for the environment & toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment according to DSD / DPD Not readily or inherently biodegradable No bioaccumulation potential The substance is not a PBT/vPvB substance EXPOSURE Human Health : The registration substance (Pentapropenylsuccinimido)-caproic acid (Penta-PSCA) is classified as dangerous & may damage fertility or the unborn child. Exposure to the substance (Pentapropenylsuccinimido)-caproic acid (Penta-PSCA) of personnel in manufacturing facilities is considered very low because the process, storage and handling operations are under industrial hygiene considerations and occupational safety measures. Workers who might accidentally come in contact with the substance should follow the safety measures recommended in the Safety Data Sheet. Environment : No environmental classification is proposed since no (adverse) effects are expected for aquatic organisms as per CLP/GHS. Furthermore the substance is evaluated to be not PBT (persistent, bioaccumulative, toxic) or vpvb (very persistent, very bioaccumulative).. RISK MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The substance (Pentapropenylsuccinimido)-caproic acid (Penta-PSCA) is classified as dangerous according to the criteria of the Dangerous Substances Directive (67/548/EEC) or the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Page 3 of 5

4 Substances and Mixtures (CLP Regulation; 1272/2008/EC). Specific Risk Management Measures are therefore required. Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance. Avoid manual contact with wet work pieces. Avoid direct eye contact with product, also via contamination on hands. Provide a good standard of general ventilation (not less than 3 to 5 air changes per hour).control any potential exposure using measures such as contained or enclosed systems, properly designed and maintained facilities and a good standard of general ventilation. Drain down systems and transfer lines prior to breaking containment. Drain down and flush equipment where possible prior to maintenance. Where there is potential for exposure: Ensure relevant staff are informed of the nature of exposure and aware of basic actions to minimise exposures; ensure suitable personal protective equipment is available; clear up spills and dispose of waste in accordance with regulatory requirements; monitor effectiveness of control measures; consider the need for health surveillance; identify and implement corrective actions. Whenever exposure is possible, wear chemically resistant gloves in combination with specific activity training. Use suitable eye protection. STATE AGENCY REVIEW This substance is registered under REACH REGULATORY INFORMATION / CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING Labeling according CLP regulation (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended): Hazard pictogram: GHS08: health hazard Hazard statements: H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child Signal Word: Danger CONCLUSION CONTACT INFORMATION WITHIN COMPANY Clariant Produkte (Deutschland) GmbH Frankfurt am Main Telephone no. : Page 4 of 5
