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.
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.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: Not applicable Method Used: Not applicable
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.
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.
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.
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.

ID: 2402
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
Protective equipment should be provided as necessary to prevent irritation of the throat, eyes, and skin, and to keep
exposures below the applicable exposure limits identified in Section 8.

Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity
A: General Product Information
Dust from this product is a mechanical irritant, which means that it may cause temporary irritation or scratchiness of the throat,
and/or itching of the eyes and skin.
B: Component Analysis - LD50/LC50
No LD50/LC50's are available for this product's components.
Component Carcinogenicity
Continuous filament glass fibers (Not Available)
ACGIH: A4 - Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen
IARC: Group 3 - Not Classifiable (IARC Monograph 81 [2002] (listed under Man-made mineral fibres),
Monograph 43 [1988])
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.
