__________________________________________________________________________________________ Page: 3 of 10 Avoid breathing of dust created by sanding, grinding or machining. Combustible dust may form by action of this product on another material (substrate). Dust generated from the substrate during use of this product may be explosive if in sufficient concentration with an ignition source. Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces because of the potential for secondary explosions. 7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities No special storage requirements.

TWA: Time-Weighted-Average STEL: Short Term Exposure Limit

CEIL: Ceiling Sen: Sensitiser Sk: Absorption through the skin may be a significant source of exposure. 8.2. Exposure controls 8.2.1. Engineering controls Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation for sanding, grinding or machining. Use general dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne exposures to below relevant Exposure Limits and/or control dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. If ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment. Provide local exhaust at process emission sources to control exposure near the source and to prevent the escape of dust into the work area. Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment) are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment). 8.2.2. Personal protective equipment (PPE) Eye/face protection To minimise the risk of injury to face and eyes, always wear eye and face protection when working at sanding or grinding operations or when near such operations. Select and use eye/face protection to prevent contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. The following eye/face protection(s) are recommended: Safety glasses with side shields. Select and use eye protection in accordance with AS/NZS 1336. Eye protection should comply with the performance specifications of AS/NZS 1337. Skin/hand protection Wear appropriate gloves to minimise risk of injury to skin from contact with dust or physical abrasion from grinding or sanding. Respiratory protection Assess exposure concentrations of all materials involved in the work process. Consider material being abraded when determining the appropriate respiratory protection. Select and use appropriate respirators to prevent inhalation overexposure. An exposure assessment may be needed to decide if a respirator is required. If a respirator is needed, use respirators as part of a full respiratory protection program. Based on the results of the exposure assessment, select from the following respirator type(s) to reduce inhalation exposure: Half facepiece or full facepiece air-purifying respirator suitable for particulates. For questions about suitability for a specific application, consult with your respirator manufacturer. Select and use respirators according to AS/NZS 1715. Respirators should comply with AS/NZS 1716 performance

specifications. For information about respirators, call 3M on 1800 024 464. SECTION 9: Physical and chemical properties 9.1. Information on basic physical and chemical properties Physical state Solid. Appearance/Odour Solid abrasive product Odour threshold Not applicable. pH Not applicable.

The information below may not be consistent with the material classification in Section 2 if specific ingredient classifications are mandated by a competent authority. In addition, toxicological data on ingredients may not be reflected in the material classification and/or the signs and symptoms of exposure, because an ingredient may be present below the threshold for labelling, an ingredient may not be available for exposure, or the data may not be relevant to the material as a whole. 11.1 Information on Toxicological effects Signs and Symptoms of Exposure Based on test data and/or information on the components, this material may produce the following health effects:

Inhalation

__________________________________________________________________________________________ Page: 6 of 10 - This document covers only the 3M product. For complete assessment, when determining the degree of hazard, the material being abraded must also be considered. This product contains quartz silica. Quartz silica is a form of crystalline silica. Occupational exposure to inhaled crystalline silica has been associated with silicosis and lung cancer. No exposure to crystalline silica is expected during the normal handling and use of this product. Crystalline silica was not detected when air sampling was conducted during simulated use of similar products containing crystalline silica. Therefore, the health effects associated with crystalline silica are not expected during normal use of this product. Toxicological Data If a component is disclosed in section 3 but does not appear in a table below, either no data are available for that endpoint or the data are not sufficient for classification. Acute Toxicity Name Route Species Value Overall product Ingestion No data available; calculated ATE >5,000 mg/kg Silicon Carbide Mineral Dermal Rat LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg Silicon Carbide Mineral Ingestion Rat LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg Quartz Dermal LD50 estimated to be > 5,000 mg/kg Quartz Ingestion LD50 estimated to be > 5,000 mg/kg ATE = acute toxicity estimate Skin Corrosion/Irritation Name Species Value Silicon Carbide Mineral Rat No significant irritation Quartz Professional judgement No significant irritation Serious Eye Damage/Irritation Name Species Value Silicon Carbide Mineral Professional judgement No significant irritation Skin Sensitisation For the component/components, either no data are currently available or the data are not sufficient for classification.
