Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid: Inhalation
If dust is inhaled in excess of exposure limits referenced in section 8 of this safety data sheet, remove individual to fresh air.
Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust.
First Aid: Skin
Wash gently with soap and water to remove dust and fibers. Alternatively, fibers can be removed from the skin by use of
ordinary masking or wrapping tape. Should irritation persist, seek medical attention.
First Aid: Ingestion
Rinse mouth with water to remove dust and fibers and drink plenty of water to help reduce irritation. If irritation persists, seek
medical attention.
First Aid: Eyes
Flush eyes with large amounts of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

ID: 1050
First Aid: Ears
Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops in the inner ear, seek medical attention.
First Aid: Notes to Physician
Dust from the product may cause mechanical irritation of the eyes, skin, and upper respiratory tract. Treat symptomatically.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Not applicable Method Used: Not applicable
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): Not applicable Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): Not applicable
Auto Ignition: Not determined Flammability Classification: Not determined
Rate of Burning: Not determined
General Fire Hazards
There is no potential for spontaneous fire or explosion. Inorganic glass fibers are naturally non-combustible and non-
flammable.
Extinguishing Media
Carbon dioxide (CO2), water, water fog, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
No special procedures are expected to be necessary for this product. Normal fire fighting procedures should be followed to
avoid inhalation of smoke and gases.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Clean-Up Procedures
Pick up large pieces. Vacuum dusts. If sweeping is necessary, use a dust suppressant such as water. Do not dry sweep dust
accumulation. These procedures will help to minimize potential exposures.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures
Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet when handling uncontained material. Handle in
accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices.
Storage Procedures
Warehouse storage should be in accordance with package directions, if any. Material should be kept clean, dry, and in original
packaging.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has not adopted specific occupational exposure standards for
fiber glass. Fiber glass is treated as a nuisance dust and is regulated by OSHA as a particulate not otherwise regulated (total
dust) shown in CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-3.
Respirable fraction 5 mg/m3
Total dust 15 mg/m3
JM has adopted the fiber glass industry voluntary Product Stewardship Program (PSP), formerly the NAIMA-OSHA Health and
Safety Partnership Program (HSPP). Under the PSP, JM recommends that exposures be limited to the voluntary concentration
of 1 f/cc TWA for fibers longer than 5 microns with a diameter less than 3 microns. This will help minimize potential irritation
effects. The PSP also includes the PPE recommendations described below.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Safety glasses with side shields are recommended to keep dust out of the eyes.
Personal Protective Equipment: Ears
Use ear protection (earplugs, hood, or earmuffs) to prevent airborne dust or fibers from entering the ear, if necessary.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Leather or cotton gloves should be worn to protect against mechanical abrasion.

Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate for keeping dust and fiber levels below the applicable
exposure limits referenced in Section 8 of this SDS. Wear a NIOSH-certified disposable or reusable particulate respirator with
an efficiency rating of N95 or higher (per 42 CFR 84) when dust or fiber concentrations exceed the applicable exposure limits.
Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear out, and spraying may generate airborne fiber concentrations requiring a higher level
of respiratory protection. For exposures up to 50 times the established exposure limits use a full-face respirator, rated N99 or
higher.
Ventilation
In fixed manufacturing settings, local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting, milling or other processing to
remove airborne dust and fibers.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Wear a cap, a loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirt and long pants to protect skin from irritation. Exposed skin areas should be
washed with soap and water after handling or working with fiber glass. Clothing should be washed separately from other
clothes, and the washer should be rinsed thoroughly (run empty for a complete wash cycle). This will reduce the chances of
fiber glass being transferred to other clothing.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity
A: General Product Information
Dust from this product is a mechanical irritant, which means that it may cause temporary irritation or scratchiness of the throat,
and/or itching of the eyes and skin.

No LD50/LC50's are available for this product's components.
Component Carcinogenicity
Fiber Glass Wool (Not Available)
ACGIH: A3 - Confirmed animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans
NTP: Reasonably Anticipated To Be A Human Carcinogen (respirable size)
IARC: Group 3 - Not Classifiable (IARC Monograph 81 [2002] (listed under Man-made mineral fibres),
Monograph 43 [1988])
Chronic Toxicity
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Toxicology Program (NTP 1998, 2000, 2002) classified glass
wool (respirable size) as reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen, based on sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in
animals. This assessment was originally prepared in 1993-1994 for the 7th Report on Carcinogens (NTP 1994), but has not
been updated since then in the 8th, 9th, or 10th Reports on Carcinogens (NTP 1998, 2000, 2002).
