1 Safety Data Sheet according to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (amended by Regulation (EU) No 453/2010) Revision date: Version Print date : SECTION 1 : Identification of the substance/mixture and of the company/undertaking 1.1 Product Identifier Trade name / designation : Electromag Substance name Magnesium oxide CAS No EINECS Relevant identified uses of the substance or mixture and uses advised against Relevant Identified uses Free flowing electrically insulating aggregate. 1.3 Details of the supplier of the safety data sheet Supplier (manufacturer / importer / distributor) Imerys Fused Minerals (Hull) Street Hull Road, Saltend Postal code / city Hull, HU12 8ED Telephone Telefax (competent person) ifm-hu@imerys.com SECTION 2 : Hazards identification 2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture Classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [CLP] This substance is classified as not hazardous according to regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [CLP]. Other Hazards SVHC No Page 1 of 5

2 2.2 Label elements Labelling according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [CLP] According to EC directives or the corresponding national regulations the product does not have to be labelled. SECTION 3 : Composition / information on ingredients 3.1 Substances Molecular formula : MgO Molecular weight g / mol CAS No EINECS SECTION 4 : First aid measures 4.1 General Information When in doubt or if symptoms are observed, get medical advice. If unconscious place in recovery position and seek medical advice. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or a person with cramps. Change contaminated, saturated clothing. Do not leave affected person unattended. In case of skin contact Material can act as mild irritant. Wash with soap and water as required. After eye contact Particles can cause physical irritation. Flush with clean water. Seek medical advice if irritation persists. After inhalation Excessive dust inhalation can cause irritation of mucous membranes. In case of ingestion No toxic effects. Treat symptomatically and seek medical advice as necessary. SECTION 5 : Firefighting measures 5.1 General Information No special precautions are necessary. Silicone treated products will generate very small volumes of noxious fumes on heating (CO, CO 2, SiO 2, H 2). SECTION 6 : Accidental release measures 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures When creation of dust during clean-up is unavoidable, wear suitable dust masks to avoid inhalation of dust 6.2 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Where possible, use a vacuum cleaner to avoid creating unnecessary dust.

3 SECTION 7 : Handling and storage 7.1 Precautions for safe handling Avoid creating unnecessary excess dust during handling. 7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Material should be kept dry and preferably heated, to minimise possible hydration. Material will go lumpy if exposed to excess moisture. SECTION 8 : Exposure controls/personal protection 8.1 Control parameters Ingredient (Designation) Regulatory information Country Limit value type (country of origin) Limit value Remark Magnesium oxide EH40 UK 8 hr TWA 10 mg/m 3 Total dust Magnesium oxide EH40 UK 8 hr TWA 4 mg/m 3 Respirable dust 8.2 Appropriate engineering controls Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. 8.3 Personal protective equipment Use suitable dust mask in dusty operations (Disposable mask to EN149:2001 FFP2) Wear gloves if skin irritation is evident. Wear eye protection during handling (Eye glasses with side protection DIN-/EN-Norms: DIN EN 166) SECTION 9 : Physical and chemical properties 9.1 Information on basic physical and chemical properties (a) Appearance Physical state : Colour : (b) Odour : (c) Odour threshold : Solid White-Yellow Safety relevant basic data Page 3 of 5 (d) ph : (e) Melting point / freezing point : (f) Initial boiling point and boiling range: (g) Flash point: (h) Evaporation rate: (i) Flammability (solid, gas): (j) Upper/lower flammability or explosive limits Lower explosion limit: Upper explosion limit: (k) Vapour pressure; (l) Vapour density; 2800 o C >3600 o C (1013 hpa) not applicable not applicable

4 (m) Relative density; 3.7 g / cm 3 (n) Solubility(ies); Slightly soluble (o) Partition coefficient: n-octanol/water; (p) Auto-ignition temperature; (q) Decomposition temperature; (r) Viscosity; (s) Explosive properties; (t) Oxidising properties. 9.2 Other information The product is available across a wide particle size range. Appropriate precautions should be taken when it is used to limit dust and personal exposure. SECTION 10 : Stability and reactivity 10.1 Reactivity Slightly soluble in water, soluble in acids, insoluble in alkalis. The material readily absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from air causing free flowing powder to agglomerate Chemical stability The product is chemically stable under standard ambient conditions (room temperature) Possibility of hazardous reactions See 10.5 and Conditions to avoid 10.5 Incompatible materials Hydrogen is liberated from reaction with strong alkalis and organic solvents Hazardous decomposition products Coated product contains very small quantities of methyl hydrogen polysiloxane (<0.5%). Noxious fumes may be created during heat treatment. Volumes are very small and hazard is minimal Additional information No data available SECTION 11 : Toxicological information 11.1 Information on toxicological effects Classified as non-toxic, TDLo 400 mg/kg (inhalation). SECTION 12 : Ecological information 12.1 Information on ecological effects No specific data available. Silicone treated products will generate very small volumes of noxious fumes on heating (CO, CO 2, SiO 2, H 2). Page 4 of 5
