CHEMICAL PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION Product Name: Trilin HAZARDS CLASSIFICATION (0-minimal, 1-slight, 2-moderate, 3-serious, 4-severe) NFPA: HEALTH-1 FIRE-2 REACTIVITY-0 HMIS: HEALTH-1 FIRE-2 REACTIVITY-0 MANUFACTURER Company Name: Address: Griffin Corporation PO Box 1847, Rocky Ford Road Valdosta, GA EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS Griffin Corporation: (800) Chemtrec: (800) COMPOSITION/ INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Component Name % by Wt. CAS# ACGIH TLV Trifluralin Not established Naphthalene < mg/m 3 Components not precisely identified are proprietary or not hazardous. 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Causes irritation with possible tissue damage to the eyes. Causes slight to moderate irritation to the skin. May cause irritation via inhalation. See below for route-specific details. POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Inhalation: Eye Irritation: Trifluralin - May cause irritation. Naphthalene - High vapor/aerosol concentrations (greater than approximately 1000 ppm) are irritating to the respiratory tract. May cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects. Trifluralin - Causes moderate irritation with possible tissue damage and corneal opacification. Naphthalene - High vapor/aerosol concentrations (greater than approximately 1000 ppm) are irritating to the eyes. May cause headaches, dizziness, anesthesia, drowsiness, unconsciousness, and other central nervous system effects.

2 Page 2 of 6 Hazards Identification continued: Skin Irritation: Skin Absorption: Ingestion: Trifluralin - Causes slight to moderate irritation. Repeated contact can sensitize the skin to this material. Naphthalene - Frequent or prolonged contact may irritate and cause dermatitis. Low order of toxicity. Skin contact may aggravate an existing dermatitis condition. Trifluralin and naphthalene - Slightly toxic when absorbed through the skin. Trifluralin - Slightly toxic. Based on animal data, ingestion of 1/4 pound or more of active ingredient could be fatal to humans. Naphthalene - Ingestion of solvent is toxic and irritating to the stomach. Vomiting may cause aspiration into the lungs resulting in pulmonary edema which may be fatal. 4. FIRST AID MEASURES Inhalation: Eye Contact: Skin Contact: Ingestion: Remove victim to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration preferably mouth-to-mouth. Get professional medical attention immediately. Hold eyelids open and flush with water for minutes until no evidence of chemical remains. Get professional medical attention immediately. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash with plenty of soap and water for minutes until no evidence of chemical remains. Get professional medical attention immediately. Call a physician immediately. This product contains an aromatic hydrocarbon and can be extremely harmful if swallowed. If this happens and the patient is conscious, immediately administer activated charcoal (6-8 heaping teaspoonfuls) with water. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Gastric lavage with a cuffed endotracheal tube to prevent aspiration should be completed within 15 minutes. In the absence of depression, convulsions, or impaired gag reflex, vomiting can be induced with a blunt instrument or finger. Make certain vomitus is not inhaled by raising hips higher than head. If patient is unconscious, do not induce vomiting. 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point & Method: 222 F Flammable Limits: Autoignition Temperature:

Closed containers may rupture due to pressure build-up when subjected to excessive heat or flame. Prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion. Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. Fire Fighting Equipment: Wear protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Hazardous Combustion Products: 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Thermal decomposition may release toxic and/or hazardous gases. Spill or Leak Procedures: Cover spill with absorbent material such as sweeping compound or clay. Sweep up and place in suitable (fiberboard) containers for later disposal. Prohibit use of hot or sparking equipment in immediate area. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Storage Temperature: General Information: Store above 40 F. Avoid freezing. Store in a clean, dry, well ventilated area. Do not store near feed, food or within the reach of children. Do not store near heat or open flame. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/ PERSONAL PROTECTION PESTICIDE APPLICATORS & WORKERS These workers must refer to the Product Label and Directions For Use attached to the product for Agricultural Use Requirements in accordance with the EPA Worker Protection Standard 40 CFR part 170. MANUFACTURING, COMMERCIAL BLENDING, & PACKAGING WORKERS Ventilation: Provide local exhaust ventilation and/or general dilution ventilation to meet published exposure limits. Respiratory Protection: If needed, use a respirator approved for organic solvents. Eye Protection: Wear protective eyewear to prevent contact with this substance. Protective Clothing: Applicators and other handlers must wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical resistant gloves (such as barrier laminate, or viton 14 mils), shoes plus socks.
