Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
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
B: Component Exposure Limits
Continuous filament glass fibers (Not Available)
ACGIH: 1 fiber/cm3 TWA (respirable fibers, length >5 碌m, aspect ratio >=3:1, as determined by the
membrane filter method at 400-450X magnification [4-mm objective], using phase-contrast
illumination); 5 mg/m3 TWA (inhalable fraction)
Calcium carbonate (present in 7723 mat only) (471-34-1)
ACGIH: 10 mg/m3 TWA (particulate matter containing no asbestos and <1% crystalline silica)
Formaldehyde (50-00-0)
ACGIH: 0.3 ppm Ceiling
OSHA: 0.5 ppm Action Level; 0.75 ppm TWA; 2 ppm STEL (Irritant and potential cancer hazard - see 29
CFR 1910.1048)
C: Exposure Limits for Chemicals which may be generated during processing
Ethanol (may form from 9000 series mat when exposed to moisture or humid air) (64-17-5)
ACGIH: 1000 ppm TWA
OSHA: 1000 ppm TWA; 1900 mg/m3 TWA
NIOSH: 1000 ppm TWA; 1900 mg/m3 TWA
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Safety glasses with sideshields 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 prevent skin contact and irritation. Barrier creams may also be used to reduce skin
contact and irritation caused by fiber glass.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
A respirator should be used if ventilation is unavailable, or is inadequate for keeping formaldehyde, dust and fiber levels below
the applicable exposure limits. To protect against dust and fibers, use a NIOSH-certified disposable or reusable particulate
respirator with an efficiency rating of N95 or higher (42 CFR 84) when working with this product. For exposures up to five times
the established exposure limits use a quarter-mask respirator, rated N95 or higher; and for exposures up to ten times the
established exposure limits use a half-mask respirator (e.g., MSA's DM-11, Racal's Delta N95, 3M's 8210), rated N95 or
higher. 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. Where formaldehyde exposure is possible, use a NIOSH-approved full-face formaldehyde respirator with
a dust/mist prefilter. Formaldehyde gas may be released when product is subjected to high heat and humidity.

a dust/mist prefilter. Formaldehyde gas may be released when product is subjected to high heat and humidity.
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 warm 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.

IARC: Group 1 - Known Human Carcinogen (IARC Monograph 88 in preparation, Monograph 62
[1995], Supplement 7 [1987])
Chronic Toxicity
Exposure to formaldehyde gas (released under conditions of high heat or humidity) may cause eye and upper respiratory
irritation, and possible respiratory or skin sensitization (allergy). If sensitization occurs, subsequent exposures to formaldehyde
may worsen asthma or other respiratory problems, and cause allergic-type reactions.
Exposure to formaldehyde gas has been associated with the development of nasopharyngeal cancer in laboratory animals and
humans. Formaldehyde has been classified as a known human carcinogen, Group 1, by the International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC). The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the US National Toxicology Program
(NTP) consider formaldehyde to have carcinogenic potential. OSHA specifically regulates formaldehyde under 29 CFR
1910.1048.
Continuous Filament Glass Fiber: No chronic health effects are known to be associated with exposure to continuous filament
fiber glass. Results from epidemiologic studies have not shown any increases in respiratory disease or cancer. The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified continuous filament fiber glass as a Group 3 substance,
not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. Because of the large diameter of continuous filament fibers, these products
are not considered respirable.
