### 4. First Aid Measures If inhaled: Move the exposed person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation or symptoms persist. In case of skin contact: Wash off immediately with soap and water. Remove and properly dispose of contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation or symptoms persist. In case of eye contact: Rinse immediately with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Seek medical attention if irritation or symptoms persist. ** COMPANY SANITIZED **- 4 - 5/28/13 If swallowed: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth thoroughly. Seek medical attention if irritation or symptoms persist. 

### 5. Fire Fighting Measures Extinguishing Media: Water based solution is not expected to burn. Dry precipitate may burn and should be extinguished using Carbon dioxide (CO2) dry chemical. Do not allow material to enter sewers or drains. Fire Hazards: Burning produces irritating fumes. Protective Equipment: Wear suitable respiratory equipment when deemed necessary. Fire-fighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus for large fires. Flash Point: N/A. 

### 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal Precautions: When handling, use eye protection and Nitrile or Latex based gloves. Environmental Precautions: Do not allow product to enter sewer drains and waterways. Prevent further spillage if safe to do so. Advise local authorities if large spills cannot be contained. Clean Up Methods: Mop up spills with a water/detergent mix. Clean spill area thoroughly with plenty of water. Spill waste should be sealed inside a strong plastic bag, which should then be sealed inside a second similar plastic bag for disposal via incineration. 

### 7. Handling and Storage Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation of the working area. Adopt best Manual Handling considerations when handling, carrying and dispensing. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed. Store in properly labeled containers. Avoid contact with strong acids or bases. ** COMPANY SANITIZED **- 5 - 5/28/13 

### 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Though no exposure limits are established, we recommended following the “NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 65: Occupational Exposure to Carbon Nanotubes and Nanofibers” which states a Recommended Exposure Limit (REL) of 1.0ug/m3 in air for Elemental Carbon via NIOSH Method 5040. Engineering Measures: Use local exhaust ventilation or respiratory protection where deemed necessary. (NIOSH and The Health and Safety Executive in the United Kingdom recommends the use of a HEPA filter on the exhaust leaving the facility if it has the potential to posses carbon nanotubes). Respiratory Protection: Wear a suitable respirator if deemed necessary. Hand Protection: Wear nitrile or latex based gloves. Eye Protection: Approved safety goggles. Safety glasses. 

### 9. Physical and Chemical Properties Description: Liquid. Color: Black. Odor: Odorless. Boiling Point: 100C. pH: 2 to 12 

### 10. Stability and Reactivity Stability: Stable under normal conditions. Conditions to Avoid: Burning of liquid without proper ventilation. Materials to Avoid: Acids. Alkali metals. Alkalis. Halogens. Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon Monoxide (CO). ** COMPANY SANITIZED **- 6 - 5/28/13 

### 11. Toxicological Information Toxicological Information: The hazards associated with carbon nanotubes have not yet been fully established. However, NIOSH recommends an REL of <1.0 ug/m3 of Elemental Carbon via NIOSH Method 5040. General Information No quantitative data are available for carbon nanotubes. Based on information for similar materials: Repeated Or Prolonged Exposure There is some evidence from experimental studies that inhalation of carbon nanotubes may cause inflammation of the lungs and that this may lead to lung fibrosis. There is some evidence that carbon nanotubes of particular dimensions may behave in the same way as other fibrous materials of similar dimensions and cause adverse health effects in the mesothelium. 

### 12. Ecological Information Ecotoxicity: There is no data on the Ecotoxicity of this product. 12.1. Toxicity No data available 12.2. Persistence and degradability No data available. 12.3. Bioaccumulative potential No data available on bioaccumulation. 12.4. Mobility in soil The product has poor water-solubility. 12.5. Results of PBT and vPvB assessment Not Classified as PBT/vPvB by current EU criteria. 12.6. Other adverse effects None known. ** COMPANY SANITIZED **- 7 - 5/28/13 

### 13. Disposal Considerations General Information:

• Dispose of in compliance with all local, national and international regulations.
• Material is not to be discharged into US or International waterways.
• Material should not be allowed to enter any sewer drain system.
• In the European Union, carbon nanotube waste material should be classified and coded as hazardous waste.
• Based on current information, high temperature incineration in a hazardous waste incinerator is the preferred disposal method. Pyrolysis above 500°C will oxidize CNTs completely.
