===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:TARGET ORGANS: SKIN, EYES, & LUNGS.
INHALATION: IF INHALED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY, MAY CAUSE
RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION. EYES: SLIGHTLY TO MODERATELY
IRRITATING. FIBERS MAY BE ABRASIVE; PROLONGED CONTACT MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE OUTER SURFACE OF THE EYE. SKIN: SLIGHTLY TO
MODERATELY IRRITATING. MAY RESULT IN IRRITATION. INGESTION: IF
INGESTED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITY, MAY CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL
DISTURBANCES. CHRONIC- OCCUPATIONALLY EXPOSED WORKERS HAVE NOT
IDENTIFIED ANY INCREASED INCIDENCE OF RESPIRATORY DISEASE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NTP CLASSIFIED RESPIRABLE RCF AND
GLASSWOOL AS SUBSTANCES REASONABLY ANTICIPATED TO BE CARCINOGENS.
IARC HAS CLASSIFIED CERAMIC FIBER, FIBROUS GLASSWOOL AND MINERAL
WOOL (ROCKWOOL & SLAGWOOL) AS POSS IBLE HUMAN CARCINOGENS (GROUP
2B) BASED ON SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY IN ANIMALS, BUT
INSUFFICIENT DATA IN HUMANS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: MAY INCLUDE SCRATCHINESS OF THE
NOSE OR THROAT, COUGH OR CHEST DISCOMFORT. SKIN: INFLAMMATION,
RASH OR ITCHING. INGESTION: MAY INCLUDE NAUSEA, VOMITING, OR
ABDOMINAL PAIN.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:DERMATITIS, ASTHMA, OR CHRONIC LUNG
DISEASE. PEOPLE WITH A HISTORY OF ALLERGY MAY EXPERIENCE GREATER
AMOUNTS OF SKIN AND RESPIRATORY IRRITATION.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INHALATION:REMOVE TO A DUST FREE ENVIRONMENT. GET MEDICAL
ATT'N IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. EYES:FLUSH IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE
AMOUNTS OF LUKEWARM WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MIN. EYELIDS SHOULD BE
HELD AWAY FR OM THE EYEBALL TO ENSURE THOROUGH RINSING. DO NOT RUB
EYES. GET MEDICAL ATT'N IF IRRITATION PERSISTS. SKIN:REMOVE
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. DO NOT RUB OR SCRATCH EXPOSED SKIN. WASH
AREA OF CONTACT THORO UGHLY WITH SOAP & WATER. USE A SKIN CREAM OR
LOTION AFTER WASHING. INGESTION:IF GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATION
OCCURS, RELOCATE INDIVIDUAL TO A DUST FREE ENVIRONMENT. SEEK
MEDICAL ATT'N IF SYMPTOMS PERS ISTS.

Extinguishing Media:USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SUITABLE FOR TYPE OF
SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:SEE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA ABOVE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONE.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:USE VACUUM SUCTION WITH HEPA FILTERS TO CLEAN
UP SPILLED MATERIAL. USE WET SWEEPING OR A DUST SUPPRESSANT WHERE
SWEEPING IS NECESSARY.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:HANDLE CERAMIC FIBER WITH CAUTION.
MINIMIZE AIRBORNE DUSTS BY AVOIDING THE UNNECESSARY DISTURBANCE OF
MATERIALS. PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH TEMPERATURES INCREASED THE
RELATIVE FRIABILITY OF ALUMINOSIL ICATE FIBERS.
Other Precautions:DUST SUPPRESSING CLEANING METHODS SUCH AS WET
SWEEPING OR VACUUMING SHOULD BE USED TO CLEAN THE WORK AREA.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:WHEN ENGINEERING AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS
ARE INSUFFICIENT, THE USE OF APPROP-RIATE RESPIRATORY PR0TECTION,
PURSUANT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF OSHA 1910.134 AND 29CFR 1928.103,
IS RECOMMENDED.
Ventilation:USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION OR OTHER PRECAUTION TO ELIMINATE
EXPOSURE TO VAPORS RESULTING FROM THERMAL DECOMPOSITION BINDER.
Protective Gloves:WEAR GLOVES
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR CHEMICAL GOGGLES. (DO NOT WEAR CONTACT
LENSES)
Other Protective Equipment:HEAD COVERINGS AND FULL BODY CLOTHING AS
NECESSARY TO PREVENT SKIN IRRITATION. WASHABLE OR DISPOSABLE
CLOTHING MAY BE USED.
Work Hygienic Practices:IF POSSIBLE DO NOT TAKE UNWASHED CLOTHING HOME.
WORK CLOTHERS SHOULD BE WASHED SEPARATELY FROM OTHER CLOTHING AND
THE MACHINE RINSED THOROUGHLY F POSSIBLE DO NOT TAKE UNWASHED
