<p>MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET DENSTONE (ALL GRADES) 3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION This is a non-combustible, non-reactive solid material. It is supplied in the form of a solid article. Through normal use as intended DENSTONE is not expected to release any hazardous substances. Under normal conditions of use for ceramic products, the likelihood of dust generation sufficient for health effects to occur is very small. If dusts are created, they may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. See "Other Health Effects" Section. EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS Dust is irritating to respiratory tract. Inhalation: This product may cause irritation due to abrasive action. Skin Contact: Not likely to be absorbed through the skin. Skin Absorption: This product may cause irritation, redness and possible damage due to abrasiveness. Excessive contact may cause drying of mucous membranes of the eyes due to absorption of moisture and oils. Eye Contact: This product may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Ingestion: EMERGENCY TELEPHONE NUMBERS (FOR EMERGENCIES INVOLVING CHEMICAL SPILLS OR RELEASE) Toronto, ON (416) 226-6117 Montreal, QC (514) 861-1211 Winnipeg, MB (204) 943-8827 Edmonton, AB (780) 424-1754 Calgary, AB (403) 263-8660 Vancouver, BC (604) 685-5036 1.

Give artificial respiration ONLY if breathing has stopped. Give cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) if there is no breathing AND no pulse. Obtain medical advice IMMEDIATELY. Inhalation: Start flushing while removing contaminated clothing. Wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water. If irritation, redness, or a burning sensation develops and persists, obtain medical advice. Skin Contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for a minimum of 20 minutes. Hold eyelids open during flushing. If irritation persists, repeat flushing. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Eye Contact: Do not attempt to give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If victim is alert and not convulsing, rinse mouth out and give 1/2 to 1 glass of water to dilute material. DO NOT induce vomiting. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, have victim lean forward with head down to avoid breathing in of vomitus, rinse mouth and administer more water. Obtain medical attention IMMEDIATELY. Ingestion: Treat symptomatically. Note to Physicians: Effects (irritancy) on the skin and eyes may be delayed, and damage may occur without the sensation or onset of pain. Strict adherence to first aid measures following any exposure is essential. May cause pneumoconiosis. Pneumoconiosis is the deposition of dust in the lungs and the tissue's reaction to its presence. When exposure to the dust is severe or prolonged, the lungs' defenses are overwhelmed. In general, long-term exposure to high concentrations of dust may cause increased mucous flow in the nose and respiratory system airways. This condition usually disappears after exposure stops. Controversy exists as to the role exposure to dust has in the development of chronic bronchitis (inflammation of the air passages into the lungs). Other factors such as smoking and general air pollution are more important, but dust exposure may contribute. (4) Ceramic is a solid material produced by combining various raw materials (e.g., oxides, etc.), melting these components together, and cooling to a solid form/shape having its own unique properties. As supplied this article is not regulated under the Canadian Controlled Products Regulations. Other Health Effects: 5.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Denstone (All Grades) Brenntag Canada Inc. Date of Revision: 2008 December 09 WHMIS Number : 00062725 Page 3 of 6 Information in this section is for responding to spills, leaks or releases in order to prevent or minimize the adverse effects on persons, property and the environment. There may be specific reporting requirements associated with spills, leaks or releases, which change from region to region. In all cases of leak or spill contact vendor at Emergency Number shown on the front page of this MSDS. Minimize air borne spreading of dust. Wear respirator, protective clothing and gloves. Avoid dry sweeping. Do not use compressed air to clean surfaces. Vacuuming or wet sweeping is preferred. Return all material possible to container for proper disposal. Do not allow to enter sewers or watercourses. Containment and Clean-Up Procedures: 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE HANDLING Use normal "good" industrial hygiene and housekeeping practices. Avoid creating dusts. Minimize air borne spreading of dust. Clean up immediately to eliminate slipping hazard. The articles are hard and abrasive. Minimize bodily contact. Handling Practices: See Section 8, "Engineering Controls". Ventilation Requirements: Use only with adequate ventilation and avoid breathing dusts. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before re- use. Other Precautions: STORAGE See below. Storage Temperature (°C): General exhaust is acceptable. Local exhaust ventilation preferred. Ventilation Requirements: Store in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Keep containers closed. Do not overstack to the point of deforming cartons. Suppress dust when unloading cartons or wear respirators. Protect against sharp, broken edges.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Recommendations listed in this section indicate the type of equipment, which will provide protection against overexposure to this product. Conditions of use, adequacy of engineering or other control measures, and actual exposures will dictate the need for specific protective devices at your workplace. ENGINEERING CONTROLS Local exhaust ventilation preferred. Make up air should be supplied to balance air that is removed by local or general exhaust ventilation. Ventilate low lying areas such as sumps or pits where dense dust may collect. Engineering Controls: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Safety glasses with side shields are recommended to prevent eye contact. Use chemical safety goggles when there is potential for eye contact. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this material. Eye Protection: Gloves and protective clothing made from cotton, canvas, rubber or plastic should be impervious under conditions of use. Prior to use, user should confirm impermeability. Discard contaminated gloves. Skin Protection: No specific guidelines available. Respiratory protection should not be necessary unless dust is created. A NIOSH/MSHA approved dust mask for concentrations of nuisance dust up to 100 mg/m³ particulate. An air-supplied respirator if concentrations are higher or unknown. Respiratory Protection: Wear regular work clothing. The use of coveralls is recommended. Locate safety shower and eyewash station close to chemical handling area.
