Section 2 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Emergency Overview: Appearance: Product is a clear to white solid, in pellet, granular or powder form. Slight vinegar like odour. Caution: This material is combustible and will burn in fire and emit irritating smoke. Powdered material may form explosive dust – air mixtures. Dusts and heat – released air emissions may be irritating to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. Spilled product may create a slipping hazard. Released pellets should be kept away from storm sewers and other entry into aquatic systems. Molten resin cause severe thermal burns. This product is considered hazardous as defined in OSHA Hazard Communication standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200, based on the presence of vinyl acetate (maximum 0.3%). This product is a controlled product under Canadian WHMIS regulations. Cont’d MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET AT Plastics A Business of Celanese Index #: 300.001 Date Issued: March 24, 2006 Revision Date: August 19, 2008 Supercedes: July 19, 2008 ATEVA® EVA COPOLYMER Transportation Emergency: Page 2 of 10 800-424-9300 CHEMTREC, 24 hours/day 703-527-3887 Outside USA, Collect calls accepted Product Information/Customer Service: 800-661-3663 8/19/2008 7:38:00 PM Potential Health Effects: Inhalation: Inhalation of dust may cause respiratory irritation. Fumes produced during thermal processing may cause irritation. Eyes: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action. Skin: Prolonged contact is essentially non-irritating to skin. There can be mechanical injury, if impacted with skin. Under normal processing conditions, material is heated to elevated temperatures; contact with the material may cause thermal burns. No adverse effects anticipated by skin absorption. Ingestion: Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. Swallowing may cause choking. Carcinogenicity Information: Contains low levels (<0.3%) of residual vinyl acetate. Vinyl acetate has been classified by IARC as 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans; ACGIH Classification: Group A3, Animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans (see Section 11). Section 3 COMPOSITION/ INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS COMPONENTS CAS NUMBER % Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer 24937-78-8 > 99 Vinyl Acetate 108-05-4 < 0.3 Base Resin Molecular Formula: [CH2CH2]n [CH2CH(02CCH3)-]m The product may contain varying levels of process aids. Section 4 FIRST AID MEASURES Solid product is neither an irritant nor gives off hazardous vapours at ambient temperatures. Eyes: The material is non-irritating upon contact, except upon impact as any foreign particle in the eye. In the case of irritation caused by fine dust or fumes during thermal processing, rinse opened eyes for several seconds under running water. If irritation persists, consult physician.

Washing hands is preferable after use. Contact with heated material may cause thermal burns. Do not attempt to remove material from skin. Cool rapidly with cold water. Obtain medical treatment. Ingestion: Material is not expected to cause an ingestion problem. No first aid procedures are required. If necessary, get medical advice. Inhalation: Pellet inhalation is unlikely due to physical form. Product fines and dust may cause mild respiratory irritation. Note to Attending Physician: If molten polymer is in contact with skin, treat as any thermal burn, after decontamination. No specific antidote. Treatment of exposure should be directed at the control of symptoms and the clinical condition of the patient. Section 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flammable Properties: Flash Point: Not Available Flash Point Method: Not Applicable Upper Flammability Limit: Not Applicable Lower Flammability Limit: Not Applicable Autoignition Temperature: 330ºC – 410ºC (Estimated) Under fire conditions, the solid pellets will readily burn and emit a heavy, irritating smoke. Do not permit dust to accumulate, as high concentrations of airborne dust may form explosive mixture with air. May accumulate static charge. Combustion products may include and are not limited to carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, vinyl acetate, acetic acid. Extinguishing Media: Water fog or fine spray, dry chemical fire extinguishers, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers and foam. General purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF type) or protein foams are preferred.

Soak thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition. If material is molten, do not apply direct water stream. Use fine water spray or foam. Cool surroundings with water to localize fire zone. Hand held dry chemical or carbon dioxide extinguishers may be used for small fires. Dust explosion hazard may result from forceful application of fire extinguishing agents. Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Wear positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, pants, boots and gloves). Section 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES In the event of an Accidental Release: Personal Protection: Isolate area. Extinguish or remove possible ignition sources. Collect product for re- use or disposal. Sweep up immediately to eliminate slipping hazard. Environmental Protection: Prevent from entering soil, ditches, sewers, waterways and ground water. Notify applicable government authority if release is reportable or could adversely affect the environment. Section 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Small amounts of fine dust & shavings may be created during passage through air conveying system. Ground and bond equipment and containers to prevent a static charge build-up. Avoid high temperatures, sparks, open flames and all other sources of ignition in areas where fine dusts may be produced. Storage Temperature (ºC): Ambient temperatures. Storage Requirements: Should be stored under cover to prevent degradation due to sunlight. Shelf Life: Maximum of five years, if stored properly.

Exposure to high levels of dust or Heated fumes may cause irritation. Chronic Toxicity: The product may contain low levels (<0.3%) of vinyl acetate monomer. Carcinogenicity Data: Oral–VA was not carcinogenic in a lifetime drinking water study in rats at concentrations of 200 to 5000 ppm. Other studies were not conducted according to current scientific principles and guidelines (e.g., too few animals, lack of experimental details). In another drinking water study, vinyl acetate was reported to cause an increased incidence of oral cavity and upper digestive tract tumors at 10000 ppm in rats and mice, but not at lower concentrations. Inhalation- VA did not cause treatment related tumors in mice in a lifetime inhalation study at concentrations of 50 to 600 ppm. In rats, treatment-related nasal tumors were reported at 600 ppm, but not at 50 or 200 ppm. ACGIH Classification: A3, Animal Carcinogen (available evidence suggests that the agent is not likely to cause cancer in humans except under uncommon or unlikely routes or levels of exposure). IARC: 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans (based on inadequate human data and limited animal data). Reproductive Effects: There is no reported data. Mutagenicity Data: There is no reported data. Synergistic Materials: There is no reported data. Other Health Effects: None known. Inhalation: No toxic effects are known to be associated with inhalation of dust from this material. Dust, if formed during improper handling, is irritating to the nose, throat and respiratory tract, and may cause coughing and sneezing. Processing may release vapours which are irritating to the eyes, nose and respiratory tract. Other Health Effects: This product contains vinyl acetate (<0.3%) which is classified according to the Controlled Products Regulations as a skin, eye and respiratory tract irritant. However, this ingredient is bound within the product matrix and exposure to it unlikely under normal conditions. (See also Section 4).
