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. A saline spray in the nose may help clear any fibers.
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
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: 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.
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.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Not applicable Method Used: Not applicable
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): Not determined Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): Not determined
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.

ID: 1014
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.
Carbon black (encapsulated) (1333-86-4)
ACGIH: 3.5 mg/m3 TWA
OSHA: 3.5 mg/m3 TWA
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)
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. See also Personal Protective Equipment:
General, below.
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.
A NIOSH approved respirator must be used if vapor concentrations exceed exposure limits.
Ventilation
Local exhaust or general dilution ventilation may be required to maintain exposures below the applicable exposure limits. 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 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
If dust evolves from this product during use it may cause temporary mechanical irritation or scratchiness of the throat and/or
itching of the eyes and skin.
Exposure to formaldehyde 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.

Carcinogenicity
A: General Product Information
Exposure to formaldehyde 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.
B: Component Carcinogenicity

NTP: Reasonably Anticipated To Be A Human Carcinogen (Possible Select Carcinogen)
IARC: Group 1 - Known Human Carcinogen
Chronic Toxicity
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.
Prolonged, excessive exposures to vapors may cause nervous system, kidney and liver damage.
