Additional information: For Full text of R-S phrases as well as Hazard Class/Statements and Precautionary Statements see Section 16. Other Hazards Emergency overview: White odorless, powdered substance that is not flammable, combustible, or explosive, and has low acute oral and dermal toxicity. Potential health effects: Inhalation is the most significant route of exposure in occupational and other settings. Dermal exposure is not usually a concern because it is poorly absorbed through intact skin. Inhalation Occasional mild irritation effects to nose and throat may occur from inhalation at levels higher than 10 mg/m3. Eye contact: A serious eye irritant. Skin contact: Does not cause irritation to intact skin. Ingestion: Not intended for ingestion. Has low acute toxicity. Small amounts (e.g. a teaspoonful) swallowed accidentally are not likely to cause effects; swallowing amounts larger than that may cause gastrointestinal symptoms. Reproductive/Developmental: Animal ingestion studies in several species, at high doses, cause reproductive and developmental effects. A human study of occupational exposure had no adverse effect on reproduction. A recent epidemiological study and a peer reviewing report of the past epidemiological studies conducted in China didn’t show any negative effect of boron on human fertility (10, 11). Potential ecological effects: Large amounts can be harmful to plants and other species. Therefore releases to the environment should be minimized. Signs and symptoms of exposure: Symptoms of accidental over-exposure have been associated with ingestion or absorption through large areas of damaged skin. These may include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, with delayed effects of skin redness and peeling (see Section 11).

Section 4 – First Aid Measures After Inhalation:
If symptoms such as nose or throat irritation are observed, remove person to fresh air. If
not breathing, give artificial respiration. Seek medical attention. Page 2 of 7
After Ingestion:
Immediately seek medical attention. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. If conscious, drink plenty of water.
After Skin Contact:
Instantly wash skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before reuse. Seek medical attention if symptoms persist.
After Eye Contact:
Rinse opened eye with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Consult physician.
Section 5 – Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical fire extinguisher. Do not use water or halogenated compounds.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
As in any fire, wear full protective gear and NIOSH-approved selfcontained breathing apparatus with full face-piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: No unusual fire or explosion hazards. Material is itself a flame retardant.
Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures Person-related Safety Precautions: Avoid dust formation. In case of exposure to prolonged or high level of airborne dust, wear a personal respirator in compliance with national legislation. Environmental precautions: Borax decahydrate is a water-soluble white powder that may, at high concentrations cause damage to trees or vegetation by root absorption (see section 12). Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Land spill: Vacuum, shovel or sweep up borax and place in containers for disposal in accordance with applicable local regulations. Avoid contamination of water bodies during clean up and disposal. No personal protective equipment is needed to clean up land spills. Spillage into water: Where possible, remove any intact containers from the water. Advise local water authority that none of the affected water should be used for irrigation or for the abstraction of potable water until natural dilution returns the boron value to its normal environmental background level (see sections 12, 13 and 15). Reference to other sections: See sections 8 and 13 for further information.
Section 7 – Handling and Storage Handling:
Avoid causing dust. Avoid eye and skin contact. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry enclosed area off the ground in tightly closed containers. Protect against wetness and water. No special measures required against explosion and fires. Store away from foodstuffs.
Section 8 – Exposure Controls / Personal Protection Control parameters: Occupational exposure limits for dust (total and resizable) are treated by OSHA, Cal OSHA and ACGIH as “Particulate Not Otherwise Classified” or “Nuisance Dust” Respect regulatory provisions for dust (total and respirable). 3 ACGIH/TLV 10 mg/m Page 3 of 7

Use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations of borax decahydrate dust below permissible exposure levels. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday. Remove and wash soiled clothing. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment: Respiratory protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Eyes and hand protection: Handle with gloves. Wear eye protection suitable for job tasks. Environmental exposure: No special requirement.

Section 11 – Toxicological Information Information on toxicological effect: Acute toxicity: Low acute oral toxicity; LD50 in rats is 6,000 mg/kg of body weight. Skin corrosion / irritation: Low acute dermal toxicity; LD50 in rabbits is greater than 2,000 mg/kg of body weight. Borax decahydrate is poorly absorbed through intact skin. Non-irritant. Serious eye damage/ irritation: Borax decahydrate is a serious eye irritant. Respiratory or skin sensitization: Borax is not a skin sensitizer. Germ cell mutagenicity / carcinogenicity: IARC: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as probable, possible or confirmed human carcinogen by IARC. ACGIH: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by ACGIH. NTP: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as a known or anticipated carcinogen by NTP. OSHA: No component of this product present at levels greater than or equal to 0.1% is identified as a carcinogen or potential carcinogen by OSHA. Reproductive toxicity: Animal feeding studies in rat, mouse and dog, at high doses, have demonstrated effects on fertility and testes (2). Studies with chemically related boric acid in rat, mouse and rabbit, at high doses, demonstrate developmental effects on the fetus including fetal weight loss and minor skeletal variations. The doses administered were many times in excess of those which humans would normally be exposed to (3, 4, 5). Human epidemiological studies show no increase in pulmonary disease in occupational populations with chronic exposures to boric acid dust and sodium borate dust. A recent epidemiology study under the conditions of normal occupational exposure to borate dusts indicated no effect on fertility. STOT-single exposure: N.A . STOT-repeated exposure: N.A . Aspiration hazard: Low acute inhalation toxicity; LC50 in rats is greater than 2.0 mg/l (or g/m3). Page 5 of 7
