Sheet ID: 1802
Inhalation
Irritation of the upper respiratory tract, coughing, and congestion may occur in extreme exposures. Severe irritation of the
mouth, nose, and throat, as well as signs of central nervous system depression (drowsiness, dizziness, headache), may occur
upon inhalation of vapors or gases.
Skin
Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.
Ingestion
This product is not intended to be ingested (eaten). If ingested, it may cause temporary irritation to the gastrointestinal
(digestive) tract.
Eyes
Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.
Ears
Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.
Primary Routes of Entry (Exposure)
Inhalation (breathing dust, fibers, or vapors), skin, and eye contact.
Target Organs
Nose (nasal passages), throat, lungs, skin, eyes.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure
Pre-existing chronic respiratory, skin, or eye diseases or conditions.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
First Aid: Inhalation
Remove to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust.
First Aid: Skin
Wash gently with soap and warm water to remove dust. Wash hands before eating or using the restroom.
First Aid: Ingestion
Product is not intended to be ingested or eaten. If this product is ingested, irritation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract may occur,
and should be treated symptomatically. Rinse mouth with water to remove fibers, and drink plenty of water to help reduce the
irritation. No chronic effects are expected following ingestion.
First Aid: Eyes
Do not rub or scratch your eyes. Dust particles may cause the eye to be scratched. Flush eyes with large amounts of water for
5-15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact a medical professional.
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
Irritating gases may be released under conditions of high heat or humidity. At high levels, these could cause severe upper
respiratory and eye irritation. Formaldehyde gas is a skin and respiratory sensitizer. Treatment should be directed toward
removing the source of irritation with symptomatic treatment as necessary.

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
Containment Procedures
Pick up large pieces. Vacuum dusts. If sweeping is necessary, use a dust suppressant such as water. Do not dry sweep dust
accumulation or use compressed air for clean-up. 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 material safety data sheet when handling this material.
Storage Procedures
Warehouse storage should be in accordance with package directions, if any. Material should be kept dry, and protected from
moisture.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
Glass wool fiber, OSHA voluntary Health and Safety Partnership Program (HSPP): 1 f/cc TWA for fibers longer than 5 碌m with
a diameter less than 3 碌m.
B: Component Exposure Limits
Fiber Glass Wool (65997-17-3)
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)
Continuous filament glass fibers (65997-17-3)
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)
Carbon black (encapsulated) (1333-86-4)
ACGIH: 3.5 mg/m3 TWA
OSHA: 3.5 mg/m3 TWA
Arsenic (7440-38-2)
ACGIH: 0.01 mg/m3 TWA
OSHA: 0.5 mg/m3 TWA
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Safety goggles are recommended to keep dust, fibers, gases, and vapors 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 dust and fiber levels below the applicable
exposure limits. In those cases, use a NIOSH-certified disposable or reusable particulate respirator with an efficiency rating of
N95 or higher (under 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.
Ventilation
In fixed manufacturing settings, local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting to remove airborne dust and
fibers. General dilution ventilation should be provided as necessary to keep airborne dust and fibers below the applicable
exposure limits and guidelines. The need for ventilation systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist,
while the design of specific ventilation systems should be conducted by a professional engineer.

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.

Chronic Toxicity
Exposure to formaldehyde gas (in high temperature applications, treatment, curing, or in geographic areas of high heat and
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.
Fiber Glass Wool: In October 2001, IARC classified fiber glass wool as Group 3, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to
humans." The 2001 decision was based on current human and animal research that shows no association between inhalation
exposure to dust from fiber glass wool and the development of respiratory disease. This is a reversal of the IARC finding in
1987 of a Group 2B designation (possibly carcinogenic to humans) based on earlier studies in which animals were injected
with large quantities of fiber glass. NTP and ACGIH have not yet reviewed the IARC reclassification or the most current fiber
glass health research; at this time, both agencies continue to classify glass wool based on the earlier animal injection studies.
