Section 3 - Hazards Identification

HMIS RATING HEALTH: 0 FLAMMABILITY: 0 REACTIVITY: 0 NFPA RATING HEALTH: 0 FLAMMABILITY: 0 REACTIVITY: 0 Warning Neodymium magnets have strong magnetic fields. Handling them with care is necessary to prevent personal injuries, property damages and magnet damage. 1. Neodymium magnets can be broken or damaged if they are removed from the wells of the Magnet Plate. Do not remove individual magnets from the Magnet Plate. 2. Normal Neodymium magnets will lose their magnetic properties if heated above 175°F (80° C). 3. The strong magnetic fields of neodymium magnets can damage items such as televisions, computer monitors, credit cards, bank cards, computers, diskettes and other data carriers, video tapes, mechanical watches, hearing aids, loudspeakers and VCRs.

Pace-makers may be damaged or switched to "Test Mode" in the presence of a strong magnetic force. If a pace-maker is in use, keep away at a minimum distance of 3 feet. 4. Children should not be allowed to handle neodymium magnets as they can be dangerous. Small magnets pose a choking hazard and should never be swallowed or inserted into any part of the body. 5. Under no circumstances should you try to cut, saw or drill the Neodymium magnets! Not only would the magnet break, but the resulting dust from the magnet is flammable. Neodymium magnets should never be burned, as burning them will create toxic fumes.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

ORAL EXPOSURE If magnets are swallowed call a physician immediately. INHALATION EXPOSURE No known inhalation risk. DERMAL EXPOSURE The Neodymium magnets in this product are plated with Ni-Cu-Ni. Individuals with an allergy or sensitivity to nickel should avoid contact with this product. If the skin is irritated wash the skin with soap and water. Contact a physician if the irritation persists. EYE EXPOSURE No known risk to eyes.

Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures

FLASH POINT N/A AUTOIGNITION TEMP N/A FLAMMABILITY N/A EXTINGUISHING MEDIA N/A FIREFIGHTING Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes. Specific Hazard(s): Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

PROCEDURE(S) OF PERSONAL PRECAUTION(S) Any machining, grinding or pulverizing of magnets which could generate dust or powder is not recommended under any circumstances. Dry powders of neodymium magnets will oxidize, smolder, and burn in the presence of air or oxygen. Magnets may spark on impact. Handle carefully in explosive atmospheres. METHODS FOR CLEANING UP Store damaged or broken magnets in a secure area away from areas where children might find them.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

HANDLING User Exposure: Do not insert magnets into any part of the body.

Section 13 - Disposal Considerations

APPROPRIATE METHOD OF DISPOSAL OF SUBSTANCE OR PREPARATION Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this material. Store damaged or broken magnets in a secure area away from areas where children might find them. Observe all federal, state, and local environmental regulations.

Section 14 - Transport Information

DOT Proper Shipping Name: Magnets Non-Hazardous for Transport: This substance is considered to be non-hazardous for transport.

IATA Non-Hazardous for Air Transport: Non-hazardous for air transport.

Before transport, magnetized products should be packed with protective lining and shielding to stunt the magnetic fields. Move magnets carefully with shake-proof, impact- proof, and moisture proof precautions.

If more than one Magnet Plate is to be shipped, the containers must be checked for total field emission after packaging and before shipping.

If the field exceeds 0.002 gauss at 7 feet from the package (rotated 360° in both planes), follow packaging instructions 902 in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulation.

If the total field emission exceeds 0.00525 gauss at 15 feet from the package in any plane, the package cannot be accepted for air shipment. If the 0.00525 gauss requirement is met (the magnetic field emission is less than 0.00525 in any plane), you can ship the package by air on an international flight PROVIDED you fill-in the Dangerous Goods Declaration Form, and label the package appropriately. The package(s) must have the "Handling Label for Class 9 - Magnetized Material" label affixed on them.

Section 15 - Regulatory Information

UNITED STATES REGULATORY INFORMATION SARA LISTED: No CANADA REGULATORY INFORMATION WHMIS Classification: This product has been classified in accordance with the hazard criteria of the CPR, and the MSDS contains all the information required by the CPR. DSL: No NDSL: No
