Section 3 - Hazards Identification
Emergency Overview
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Foil-faced paper with asphalt-coated fibrous glass reinforcement. Slight asphalt odor.
Under normal conditions of use and handling, this product is not expected to create any health or safety hazards.
Potential Health Effects
Summary
Breathing dust from this product may cause a scratchy throat, congestion, and slight coughing. Getting dust or fibers on the
skin, or in the eyes may cause itching, rash, or redness. Due to the thick diameters of continuous glass filament, the fibers
cannot be inhaled into the lower lung. Therefore, the effects of glass filament are limited to irritation of the upper respiratory
tract (nose, throat, upper airways).
Inhalation
No additional information available.
Skin
No additional information available.
Ingestion
This product is not intended to be ingested (eaten). If ingested, it may cause temporary irritation to the gastrointestinal
(digestive) tract.
Eyes
No additional information available.

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 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
This product is a mechanical irritant, and is not expected to produce any chronic health effects from acute exposures.
Treatment should be directed toward removing the source of irritation with symptomatic treatment as necessary.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
No information available for the product.
B: Component Exposure Limits
Asphalt (8052-42-4)
ACGIH: 0.5 mg/m3 TWA (inhalable fraction, as benzene-soluble aerosol)
Aluminum Foil (7429-90-5)
ACGIH: 10 mg/m3 TWA (metal dust)
OSHA: 15 mg/m3 TWA (total dust); 5 mg/m3 TWA (respirable fraction)
Continuous filament glass fibers (65997-17-3)
ACGIH: 1 fiber/cm3 TWA (respirable fibers: length > 5 碌m, aspect ratio equal to or greater than 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)
Antimony trioxide (1309-64-4)
ACGIH: 0.5 mg/m3 TWA (related to Antimony)
OSHA: 0.5 mg/m3 TWA (related to Antimony)
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 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.

Sheet ID: 1027
Antimony trioxide causes pneumoconiosis in humans. Antimony trioxide was tested for carcinogenicity by inhalation exposure
in male and female rats. Evidence for pulmonary cancer in the rat studies was inconsistent. In the earlier studies, rats were
exposed to extremely high dose levels; exposed female rats, but not males, had an increased cancer incidence. However, in
later studies using more advanced techniques, the rats did not show increased cancers. USEPA and CalEPA concluded that
these studies are inadequate for use in quantitative cancer risk assessment. According to USEPA's recently proposed cancer
risk assessment guidance, a margin of exposure (MOE) analysis is more appropriate when, as with antimony trioxide, the
carcinogenicity of a chemical may be a secondary effect of toxicity or of an induced physiological change. The MOE approach
was adopted after conferring with CalEPA scientists involved in the Proposition 65 program who suggested using USEPA's
"Proposed Guidance for Carcinogen Risk Assessment." An independent laboratory conducted a risk analysis using the MOE
approach; the results indicated that the potential levels of exposure to antimony trioxide in JM products pose no significant
cancer risk to the end-user of these products.
Continuous Filament Glass Fiber: No chronic health effects are known to be associated with exposure to continuous filament
fiber glass. Long-term epidemiologic studies do not show any increases in respiratory cancer or other disease among
employees who manufacture this product. In 1987, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified
continuous filament fiber glass as a Group 3 substance, "not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans." In 2001, IARC
re-affirmed this designation. Because of the large diameter of continuous filament fibers, these fibers are not considered
respirable.
