* 4. FIRST-AID MEASURES

 General Information:
Take off contaminated clothes immediately. Wash immediately with plenty of water. Continue rinsing for at
least 10 minutes. If any symptom persists, seek medical attention.
 Eye contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of running water. Continue for at least 15 minutes , lifting upper
and lower eyelids occasionally. Seek medical advice.

contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse Obtain
medical advice if there are persistent symptoms.
 Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air, allow to rest and keep warm. Obtain medical advice if there are
persistent symptoms such as coughing or breathing difficulty.
 Ingestion: First rinse mouth with water. Immediately give 1-2 glasses of water, if victim is fully conscious.
Seek medical attention.

* 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

 Personal precautions: Wear protective clothing.

 Environmental precautions: No special environmental precautions are required
 Methods for cleaning up: Vacuum or sweep up material and placed in a designated waste container.

* 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

 Handling: Normal chemical handling. Wash hands after handling.

 Storage: Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against physical
damage. Store in a cool, dry area. Keep container closed when not in use. Containers of this material may
retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

* 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Airborne Exposure Limits:

- OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) - 15 mg/m3 (TWA)
- ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV) - 10 mg/m3 (TWA)

Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures
below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the
emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Please refer to
the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for
details.

Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded, a half-face dust/mist respirator may
be worn for up to ten times the exposure limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the app ropriate
regulatory agency or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. A full-face piece dust/mist respirator may be worn
up to 50 times the exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory
agency, or respirator supplier, whichever is lowest. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are
not known, use a full-face piece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.

WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

Skin Protection: Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.

Eye Protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or full face shield where dusting or splashing of solutions is
possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

Hygiene measures: W ash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using lavatory and at the end of the working program.

* 10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

 Stability: Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.

 Materials to avoid: For Titanium Dioxide (see Note 1) - a violent reaction with lithium occurs around 200 °C
(392 °F) with a flash of light; the temperature can reach 900 °C (1650 °F). Violent or incandescent reaction
may also occur with other metals such as aluminum, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc. .

* 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONS

Titanium dioxide

Acute Toxicity: No LD50/LC50 information found relating to normal routes of occupational exposure

Repeated Dose Toxicity: for the component(s) tested: In animals, effects have been reported on the
following organs: Lung. Repeated exposures to dusts of this material are not anticipated to result in systemic
toxicity or permanent lung injury; however, excessive exposures may cause less severe respiratory effects.

Chronic Toxicity and Carcinogenicity: Lung fibrosis and tumors have been observed in rats exposed to
titanium dioxide in two lifetime inhalation studies. Effects are believed to be due to overloading of the normal
respiratory clearance mechanisms caused by the extreme study conditions. Workers exposed to titanium
dioxide in the workplace have not shown an unusual incidence of chronic respiratory disease or lung cancer.
Titanium dioxide was not carcinogenic in laboratory animals in lifetime feeding studies.

Listed carcinogenic:
IARC: Yes, Possible human carcinogen (2B)
ACGIH: No

Developmental Toxicity
For the component(s) tested: Did not cause birth defects or any other fetal effects in laboratory animals.

Genotoxicity: not genotoxic under the conditions of the Ames test and Comet assay
Animal genetic toxicity studies were negative.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicity:

LC0 (acute and prolonged, Leuciscus Idus) > 1000 mg/l

EC50 (acute, Daphnia Magna, 48h) > 1000 mg/l (OECD 202)
NOEC (Pseudomonas Putida) > 1000 mg/l

Environmental Fate: Not biodegradable because it is an inorganic product,

No known significant effects or critical hazards.

* 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
