whether mineral, inorganic or organic."

SECTION
ROUTES OF4 ENTRY: Ingestion, ContactFIRST AID MEASURES

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES:

Inhalation: Breathing airborne particles or dust may cause irritation to respiratory tract. Remove affected person to fresh air; if symptoms persist seek
medical attention.

Eye Contact: Direct contact can cause eye irritation. Remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with clear running water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open; if
irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Skin Contact: Prolonged contact may lead to contact dermatitis. Remove contaminated clothing; wash affected area with soap and water;
launder contaminated clothing before reuse; if irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Ingestion: May cause gastric distress, stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhea. Give two glasses of water for dilution; induce vomiting as
directed by medical personnel; never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person; seek medical attention.

SECTION 5FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

GENERAL HAZARDS:

The materials are not explosive; ignition temperatures are in excess of 850° F (454C) for starting material and 1750° F (954C) for base
material. They are not shock sensitive, nor are they subject to spontaneous ignition. Should the material be accidentally ignited, the
immediate and direct application of large volumes of water will effectively retard the spread of fire and control it. Large amounts of dense,
dusty smoke will be liberated during an accidental fire. Smoke, oxides of carbon; fumes of copper and aluminum, small amounts of
fluoride fume or hydrofluoric acid fume may be released under ignition.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

Appropriate Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, water, water fog, dry chemical, chemical foam, dry sand.
Inappropriate Extinguishing Media: None known

FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES

Fire Fighting Instructions: Firefighters must wear full face piece self - contained breathing apparatus in positive pressure mode. Water
may be used from a distance once reaction is complete. Molten metal contact with water can produce pockets of superheated steam.

Unusual Fire Hazards / Combustion Products: ThermOweld® copper base welding/joining materials are exothermic mixtures,
which when reacted, produces a thermite reaction and hot molten materials with temperatures in excess of 4000° F (2204C) and a
localized release of smoke.

SECTION
STEPS TO BE6 TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL ACCIDENTAL RELEASEOR
IS RELEASED MEASURES
SPILLED:
Confine and segregate product for reuse; place material into approved containers for disposal; for spills in excess of allowable limits (RQ)
notify the National Response Center (800) 424 - 8802; refer to CERCLA 40 CFR 302 for detailed instructions; refer to SARA Title III,
Section 313, 40 CFR 372 for reporting requirements. Do not discharge into lakes, ponds, streams or public waters.

ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Copper and Aluminum can be serious marine pollutants. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or
confined areas. In the event of a spill or accidental release, notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations. The
National Response Center can be reached at (800) 424-8802; refer to CERCLA 40 CFR 302 for detailed instructions; refer to SARA Title
III, Section 313, 40 CFR 372 for reporting requirements.

CLEAN UP AND CONTAINMENT METHODS:

Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Stop leak if you can do it without putting
yourself in harm’s way. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Avoid breathing vapors/fumes/dusts and
wear specific protective equipment specified in section 8. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect material and segregate material for
reuse. If material cannot be reused place material in appropriate disposal container.

Spill recommendations are based on the most likely spill scenario for this material; however, geographic conditions, wind, temperature, (and in the case of
a water spill) wave and current direction and speed may greatly influence the appropriate action to be taken. For this reason, local experts should be
consulted. Note: Local regulations may prescribe or limit action to be taken.

SECTION 7 TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND

PRECAUTIONS HANDLING AND STORAGE
STORAGE:

Before using ThermOweld® Exothermic Process, personnel should be trained by a ThermOweld® representative. Read and understand
the instruction sheet packaged with the mold, and observe all general and safety instructions. ThermOweld® products are to be used i

Storage of ThermOweld® exothermic materials should be in a clean dry area and restricted to access by authorized personnel only. Do not
subject to rough handling or physical damage, nor excessive vibration. Store in accordance with "This Side Up" labels. Protect from
weather and moisture. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO MOISTURE. Keep away from children. Do not
tamper with valve. Keep away from ignition sources prior to use. Do not spray in eye, inhale vapors, or ingest. Use product in only well
ventilated areas. Improper use can lead to exposure of molten metal and reaction by-products.

Environmental Fate:
There is limited data regarding the mobility, degradability and potential for bioconcentration in aquatic species for the
ingredients of this product. Evidence suggests that copper does not have significant mobility in soil unless under acidic conditions. Copper
and copper oxides can be highly toxic to aquatic species. Aluminum contamination can be toxic to aquatic species. Industrial products
should not be discharged to sewers or other water sources to prevent the risks of long term adverse effects and environmental contamination.

SECTION
WASTE 13
DISPOSAL METHOD: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS

potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal, aquatic and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public
health regulations.

According to the European Waste Catalogue, waste codes are application specific and should be assigned by the
user based on the application for which the product is used. Dispose of in accordance with Local, State, and Federal Regulations. Do not flush to sanitary
sewer or waterway. Refer to "40 CFR Protection of Environment Parts 260 - 299"
