The blowing agent off-gases during the manufacturing process prior to shipment. Residual blowing agent may gradually off-gas during storage, fabrication or use of freshly manufactured foam. Small amounts of residual blowing agent may be present or released from aged foam. Component Related Regulatory Information This product may be regulated or have exposure limits. See section 8 for further information. Component Information/Information on n-hazardous Components additional information available. * * * Section 3 - Hazard Identification * * * Appearance and Odor: Pink sheets or rolls of foam with no odor Emergency Overview unusual conditions are expected from this product after it is aged. Potential Acute Health Effects Inhalation: Breathing dust may cause: Coughing Page 1 of 7 Issue Date: 8/22/2005 rth America - English

2 Breathing Fumes may cause: Temporary Mechanical Irritation of the Upper Respiratory Tract and Lungs Irritate Upper Respiratory tract Skin Contact: May cause skin irritation Eye Contact: Dusts may cause: Mild Mechanical Irritation Redness Tearing Blurred Vision Ingestion: Ingestion of this product is unlikely. However, ingestion of product may produce gastrointestinal irritation and disturbances. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Chronic respiratory or eye conditions may temporarily worsen from exposure to this product. Chronic Conditions: There are no known long-term chronic health effects from this product. * * * Section 4 - First Aid Measures * * * Inhalation: If inhaled, remove the affected person to fresh air. If irritation persists get medical attention. Skin Contact: For skin contact, wash with mild soap and running water. To avoid further irritation, do not rub or scratch affected areas. If irritation persists get medical attention. Remove and launder contaminated clothing. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists get medical attention. Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If it does occur, watch the person for several days to make sure that partial or complete intestinal obstruction does not occur. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. * * * Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures * * * Flash Point: t Available Flash Point Method: Hydrocarbon Gas: -120 O F (-84 O C) Upper Flammability Limit: 8.5% for Hydrocarbon Gas Lower Flammability Limit: 1.8% for Hydrocarbon Gas Extinguishing Media: Water, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), and dry chemical Page 2 of 7 Issue Date: 8/22/2005 rth America - English

3 Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards: Trace amounts of residual blowing agent may be present in the foam. Mechanical and thermal processes may produce dust and flammable vapors, which may be potential explosion hazards. Fire-Fighting Instructions: Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective clothing as recommended by NFPA Hazardous Combustion Products: Primary combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and complex hydrocarbon compounds. * * * Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures * * * Containment Procedures: This material will settle out of the air. If concentrated on land, it can then be scooped up for disposal as a nonhazardous waste. This material will float and disperse along the water. It cannot easily be removed after it is waterborne; however, the material is non-hazardous in water. Clean-Up Procedures: Scoop up material or vacuum material and put into suitable containers for disposal as a non-hazardous waste. Special Procedures: ne. * * * Section 7 - Handling and Storage * * * Handling Procedures: When fabricating material provide adequate ventilation to avoid the build up of the hydrocarbon gas. Storage Procedures: Do not store or expose product to temperatures above 160 O F (-71 O C). Do not store near heating equipment. Store in well ventilated area Exposure Guidelines: Follow all applicable exposure limits. * * * Section 8 Exposure Controls / Personal Protection * * * Component Exposure Limits ACGIH and OSHA exposure limit lists have been checked for those components with CAS registry numbers. Ingredient CAS Number OSHA (PEL) ACGIH (TLV) Hydrocarbon Gas ppm TWA - final 1000 ppm TWA Hydrocarbon Gas none 1000 ppm TWA Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation if necessary to maintain hydrocarbon gas levels below the PEL and LEL. For guidance on engineering controls refer to ACGIH publication industrial Ventilation Page 3 of 7 Issue Date: 8/22/2005 rth America - English

4 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Respiratory Protection: A properly fitted NIOSH approved disposable dust respirator or equivalent should be used when dust is generated. When exposures to hydrocarbons exceed allowed limits wear an air purifying respirator with an appropriate cartridge. Skin Protection: rmal work clothing (long sleeved shirt, long pants, and gloves) is recommended. Eyes/Face Protective Equipment: Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles. * * * Section 9 - Physical & Chemical Properties * * * Appearance: Pink Foam Sheets Odor: ne Physical State: Solid ph: t applicable Vapor Pressure (mm t applicable Bulk Density: kg/m 3 20 C): Boiling Point: t applicable Solubility (H2O): Insoluble Specific Gravity Melting Point: 230 O F (110 O C) (Water=1): t applicable Evaporation Rate (n-butyl Acetate=1): t applicable Viscosity: Solid Physical Properties: Additional Information additional information available.
