ID: 2213
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
Do not rub or scratch eyes. Dust particles may cause the eye to be scratched. Flush eyes with large amounts of water until
irritation subsides. If irritation persists, 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 determined
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. If exposed to fire, product may melt and drops of molten product may
cause burns. Polymers will burn if directly impacted by a fire.
Extinguishing Media
Carbon dioxide (CO2), 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
A: Component Exposure Limits
Silver (7440-22-4)
ACGIH: 0.1 mg/m3 TWA
OSHA: 0.01 mg/m3 TWA
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: 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.
