ETHYLBENZENE WAS LISTED ON CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 IN JUNE 2004. UNDER
THE LAW, A WARNING MUST BE GIVEN UNLESS A BUSINESS DEMONSTRATES THAT THE
EXPOSURE TO THE LISTED CHEMICAL POSES NO SIGNIFICANT RISK. WITH THIS
NOTIFICATION TOTAL PETROCHEMICALS USA, INC PROVIDES A "CLEAR AND
REASONABLE" WARNING CONCERNING THE PRESENCE OF THIS LISTED CHEMICAL AT LOW
LEVELS IN POLYSTYRENE. TOTAL PETROCHEMICALS USA, INC HAS CHOSEN TO PROVIDE
A WARNING SIMPLY BASED ON ITS KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE PRESENCE OF THE LISTED
CHEMICAL AS A CONSTITUENT OF THE STARTING MATERIALS.
THE OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH HAZARD ASSESSMENT'S PROPOSITION 65
IMPLEMENTATION OFFICE HAS PUBLISHED A NO SIGNIFICANT RISK LEVEL (NSRL) FOR
ETHYLBENZENE OF 54 MICROGRAMS/DAY FOR EXPOSURE BY INHALATION AND 41
MICROGRAMS/DAY FOR ORAL EXPOSURE. TOTAL PETROCHEMICALS USA, INC WORKED WITH
INDUSTRY GROUPS TO DEVELOP A WORKBOOK TO ASSIST OUR CUSTOMERS TO COMPLY
WITH THE CALIFORNIA REGULATIONS WITH RESPECT TO ETHYLBENZENE. THIS WORKBOOK
IS AVAILABLE TO OUR CUSTOMERS UPON REQUEST (PLEASE CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE
AT 1-800-344-3462). WE HAVE NO SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION TO SUGGEST THAT THE
PRESENCE OF THE VERY LOW LEVELS OF ETHYLBENZENE IN POLYSTYRENE POSES ANY
SIGNIFICANT RISK TO THE CONSUMER.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
WATER AND/OR CARBON DIOXIDE ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
FOR NITROCELLULOSE AND SHOULD BE USED IN LARGE VOLUME.
SPECIAL FIRE PROCEDURES:
SELF-IGNITION OF NITROCELLULOSE MEMBRANE AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURE MAY OCCUR.
ALSO, USE EXTREME CAUTION IN APPROACHING FIRES INVOLVING THIS MATERIAL.
SINCE THERE IS ALWAYS DANGER OF IGNITION FROM STRUCK SPARKS, FUNCTIONAL
HEAT, FLAME OR STATIC ELECTRICITY WHEN HANDLING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN TO ELIMINATE THESE SOURCES OF IGNITION. FIGHT FIRES FROM A
SAFE DISTANCE. SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS SHOULD BE USED. NO
ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE TO FIGHT ADVANCED FIRES, EXCEPT FOR REMOTE
ACTIVATION OF INSTALLED FIRE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT. USE WATER TO KEEP
FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
IT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO HEAT NITROCELLULOSE MEMBRANE ABOVE 60 DEG. C (140
