2 Revision date : 2012/09/18 Page: 2/7 Medical conditions aggravated by overexposure: Data available do not indicate that there are medical conditions that are generally recognized as being aggravated by exposure to this substance/product. See MSDS section 11 - Toxicological information. Signs and symptoms of overexposure: The most important known symptoms and effects are described in the labelling (see section 2) and/or in section 11., Further important symptoms and effects are so far not known. Potential environmental effects Aquatic toxicity: There is a high probability that the product is not acutely harmful to aquatic organisms. The product has not been tested. The statement has been derived from the properties of the individual components. Degradation / environmental fate: Poorly biodegradable. 3. Composition / Information on Ingredients Not WHMIS controlled. 4. First-Aid Measures General advice: Remove contaminated clothing. If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air. Assist in breathing if necessary. Consult a physician. If on skin: Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. Remove contaminated clothing. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. If in eyes: In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. If irritation develops, seek medical attention. If swallowed: Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. Never induce vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions. Seek medical attention if necessary. Note to physician Treatment: Symptomatic treatment (decontamination, vital functions). 5. Fire-Fighting Measures Flash point: Autoignition: Lower explosion limit: Upper explosion limit: Flammability: Self-ignition temperature: not self-igniting Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder Hazards during fire-fighting:

3 Revision date : 2012/09/18 Page: 3/7 Dust explosion hazard. Burning produces harmful and toxic fumes. Protective equipment for fire-fighting: Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear. Further information: Dusty conditions may ignite explosively in the presence of an ignition source causing flash fire. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions: Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Use personal protective clothing. Information regarding personal protective measures see, section 8. Environmental precautions: Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater. Cleanup: Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with regulations. For small amounts: Sweep/shovel up. For large amounts: Sweep/shovel up. 7. Handling and Storage Handling General advice: Avoid dust formation. Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas. Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation of dusts. Protection against fire and explosion: Containers should be grounded against electrostatic charge. Dust can form an explosive mixture with air. Avoid whirling up the material/product because of the danger of dust explosion. Storage General advice: Keep container tightly closed and dry; store in a cool place. Protect from the effects of light. Storage incompatibility: General advice: Segregate from strong bases. Segregate from strong oxidizing agents. Segregate from strong acids. Storage stability: Storage temperature: <= 25 C 8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Components with workplace control parameters Sucrose OSHA PEL 5 mg/m3 Respirable fraction ; PEL 15 mg/m3 Total dust ; ACGIH TWA value 10 mg/m3 ; starch OSHA PEL 5 mg/m3 Respirable fraction ; PEL 15 mg/m3 Total dust ; ACGIH TWA value 10 mg/m3 ; Advice on system design: Provide local exhaust ventilation to control dust.
