HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION (continued)
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: FLAMMABLE! Inhalation of residual organic vapors from uncured resins may be harmful.
Contact with the skin may cause dermatitis, and possibly sensitization.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: No information is available on this specific mixture as a whole. The information
presented is based on each of the components present at concentrations greater than 1% (0.1 % for carcinogens and
reproductive toxins). This product contains less than one percent total residual solvents (as toluene). Exposure to
uncured resin vapors may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, respiratory system, and skin, headache, central
nervous depression, and skin drying or cracking. Effects may vary from mild irritation to sensitization or severe
destruction of tissue. Dust generated during routine handling, machining, grinding, or sawing may cause mechanical
irritation of skin, eyes, nose, and throat.
Acetophenone (CAS # 98-86-2, EC # 202-708-7, Xn-Harmful, R22-harmful if swallowed, R36-irritating to eyes) vapors may
be emitted during resin curing.
Machining, grinding or sawing this material may generate harmful dusts. Continuous filament glass fiber is not considered
fibrogenic; however, it is woven from E-Glass fibers which are listed by IARC as 鈥渟pecial purpose glass fibers鈥? and
designated as 鈥減ossibility of carcinogenic in humans.鈥? Overexposure to fused silica dust by inhalation over a long period
of time may cause lung damage. See Section 8 for exposure controls.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Dermal: YES Inhalation: POSSIBLE Ingestion: POSSIBLE Injection: POSIBLE
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION OCCURS.
INHALATION: Remove the person to fresh air. Treat respiratory distress as appropriate (artificial respiration, etc.)
Provide oxygen if necessary. If not breathing, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and seek immediate medical attention.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of temperate water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Consult an
ophthalmologist for a more detailed medical evaluation.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and room temperature running water. DO
NOT rub or scratch irritated areas, as this may force fibers into the skin. See immediate medical attention if irritation
continues.
INGESTION: Not expected to be a significant route of exposure based on expected use. If ingestion occurs, seek
immediate medical attention.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: May include irritation of the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract, burning sensation,
coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, headache, and fatigue.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: For small contained fires, use an NFPA Class B fire extinguisher. In the event of an
uncontrolled fire, use powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective as an extinguishing
medium, but can be used to cool fire-exposed containers.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear full bunker gear including a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus in
any closed place.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
GENERAL: FLAMMABLE! Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Sweep or scrape into approved container for
proper disposal.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: FLAMMABLE! May contain volatile organic compounds from uncured resins. AVOID SKIN AND EYE
CONTACT! Use appropriate gloves when handling uncured material to minimize the potential for skin contact (See
Section 8). Provide adequate ventilation to minimize exposure when processing material at elevated temperatures or
when machining, grinding or sawing the material. Provide proper NIOSH- or local authority-approved respirators if
exposure limits are exceeded.
STORAGE: Store in tightly closed containers in a well-ventilated area at or below 60掳F (16掳C). Avoid contact with
incompatible materials and ignition sources.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use local exhaust to minimize exposures and maintain airborne dust and uncured resin vapor concentrations below
occupational exposure limits, especially where heating or machining/grinding/sawing operations occur.
