Hazards Identification Physical state Appearance Emergency overview Solid. Silver granular solid. WARNING! Cancer hazard - can cause cancer. Possible reproductive hazard that may cause adverse reproductive effects based on animal data. OSHA regulatory status This product is hazardous according to OSHA 29 CFR Potential health effects Routes of exposure Eye contact. Skin contact. Inhalation. Ingestion. Eyes High concentration of coal tar pitch fumes are irritating to eyes. Skin High concentrations of coal tar pitch liquid, vapors, or fumes may be irritating to the skin. May cause photosensitization, evidenced by repeated occurrence of a dermatitic rash on exposure to sunlight. Inhalation High concentrations: Vapors may irritate throat and respiratory system and cause coughing. May cause damage to mucous membranes in nose, throat, lungs and bronchial system. Ingestion Harmful if swallowed. Target organs Eyes. Skin. Kidneys. Central nervous system. Reproductive system. Chronic effects Cancer hazard - can cause cancer. May adversely affect the developing fetus. May cause harm to the unborn child. May cause central nervous system effects. May cause damage to the kidneys. Repeated exposure to coal tar products may increase the risk of more serious skin disorders including a variety of skin cancers. Some skin cancers, such as malignant melanoma, have a high mortality rate. Pre-existing skin and respiratory conditions including dermatitis, asthma and chronic lung disease might be aggravated by exposure to high concentration of calcium oxide, graphite and/or crystalline silica dusts. Signs and symptoms Eye contact: Exposed individuals may experience eye tearing, redness, and discomfort. Ingestion may cause nausea, headache and dizziness. Potential environmental effects May cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment Version #: 04 Revision date: 11-July-2014 Issue date: 28-June / 9

Fire Fighting Measures Flammable properties Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Protection of firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Hazardous combustion products Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If easy to do, remove contact lenses. Get medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contact areas with soap and water. Get medical attention promptly if symptoms occur after washing. If skin irritation or an allergic skin reaction develops, get medical attention. Move injured person into fresh air and keep person calm under observation. If breathing stops, provide artificial respiration. Get medical attention. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Give one or two glasses of water if patient is alert and able to swallow. Seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce vomiting. Treat symptomatically. If strongly heated, the product releases PAHs, which include carcinogenic substances. Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials. None. Thermal decomposition may produce smoke, oxides of carbon and lower molecular weight organic compounds whose composition have not been characterized. Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA. Caution should be exercised when using water or foam as frothing may occur, especially if directed onto containers of hot or burning material. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Carbon oxides. Nitrogen oxides. PAHs. Sulfur oxides. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for cleaning up This product must not be heated in a sealed or confined space which has no avenue to allow pressure relief of the expanding vapors. This could cause excessive pressure buildup, blow back of materials, and explosion. Avoid inhalation of vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of spills, beware of slippery floors and surfaces. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. See Section 8 of the MSDS for Personal Protective Equipment. Do not allow material to enter storm or sanitary sewers, groundwater or soil. Spilled and released material should picked up with a suitable implement. Collect in approved containers and seal securely. Containers must be labeled. For waste disposal, see Section 13 of the MSDS Version #: 04 Revision date: 11-July-2014 Issue date: 28-June / 9

3 7. Handling and Storage Handling Storage Pregnant women should not work with the product, if there is the least risk of exposure. If this product is used in a hot repair application around parts of the furnace which could cause its temperature to exceed 100ºC (212ºF), fumes will be generated and special breathing equipment will be required. People working with this product should get instructions before use. This product should only be used in an industrial workplace. Work practice should minimize contact. Should be handled in closed systems, if possible. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control sources of dust, mist or vapor. Use work methods which minimize production of vapors and mists. Do not breathe vapor. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Ensure that waste and contaminated materials are collected and removed from the work area as soon as possible in a suitably labeled container. Keep the workplace clean. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Keep away from heat, spark, open flames and other sources of ignition. Store away from incompatible materials. 8.

This product must not be heated in a sealed or confined space which has no avenue to allow pressure relief of the expanding vapors. This could cause excessive pressure buildup, blow back of materials, and explosion. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is required. Provide explosion proof ventilation for high concentrations. Observe occupational exposure limits and minimize the risk of inhalation of dust, fumes and vapors. Provide access to washing facilities including soap, skin cleanser and fatty cream. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Wear appropriate clothing to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact. Chemical/oil resistant clothing is recommended. If this product is used in a hot repair application around parts of the furnace which could cause its temperature to exceed 100ºC (212ºF), fumes will be generated and special breathing equipment will be required. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA 29 CFR Use a NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator as needed to control exposure. Consult with respirator manufacturer to determine respirator selection, use, and limitations. Use positive pressure, air-supplied respirator for uncontrolled releases or when air purifying respirator limitations may be exceeded. Follow respirator protection program requirements (OSHA and ANSI Z88.2) for all respirator use. Wear protective gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier Version #: 04 Revision date: 11-July-2014 Issue date: 28-June / 9
