SECTION 3 Composition / information on ingredients Substances CAS No %[weight] Name 1592-23-0 >=90 calcium stearate Not Available 9-10 insoluble ash (as calcium oxide) Not Available Commercial preparations also contain some 542-42-7 calcium palmitate The specific chemical identity and/or exact percentage (concentration) of composition has been withheld as a trade secret. Mixtures See section above for composition of Substances SECTION 4 First-aid measures Description of first aid measures If this product comes in contact with the eyes: Wash out immediately with fresh running water. Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper Eye Contact and lower lids. Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention. Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel. If skin contact occurs: Immediately remove all contaminated clothing, including footwear. Skin Contact Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available). Seek medical attention in event of irritation. If fumes or combustion products are inhaled remove from contaminated area. Lay patient down. Keep warm and rested. Prostheses such as false teeth, which may block airway, should be removed, where possible, prior to initiating first aid procedures. Inhalation Apply artificial respiration if not breathing, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve mask device, or pocket mask as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Transport to hospital, or doctor, without delay. If swallowed do NOT induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain open airway and prevent aspiration. Observe the patient carefully. Ingestion Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious. Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink. Seek medical advice. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed See Section 11 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Continued...

Dry chemical powder. BCF (where regulations permit). Carbon dioxide. Note: Water or foam may cause frothing. Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture Fire Incompatibility Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may result Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves. Fire Fighting Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses. Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area. Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty; it is estimated that most organic dusts are combustible (circa 70%) - according to the circumstances under which the combustion process occurs, such materials may cause fires and / or dust explosions. Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended in air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including secondary explosions). Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space as dusts may form an explosive mixture with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion. Dust clouds generated by the fine grinding of the solid are a particular hazard; accumulations of fine dust (420 micron or less) may burn rapidly and fiercely if ignited - particles exceeding this limit will generally not form flammable dust clouds; once initiated, however, larger particles up to 1400 microns diameter will contribute to the propagation of an Fire/Explosion Hazard explosion. Combustion products include: carbon monoxide (CO) carbon dioxide (CO2) acrolein metal oxides other pyrolysis products typical of burning organic material. May emit poisonous fumes. May emit corrosive fumes. SECTION 6 Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures See section 8 Environmental precautions See section 12 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Remove all ignition sources. Clean up all spills immediately. Minor Spills Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Control personal contact with the substance, by using protective equipment. Moderate hazard. CAUTION: Advise personnel in area. Major Spills Alert Emergency Services and tell them location and nature of hazard. Control personal contact by wearing protective clothing. Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the SDS. SECTION 7 Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation. Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs. Use in a well-ventilated area. Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps. Safe handling Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended in air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including secondary explosions) Minimise airborne
