IIG 20506 2 of 6
Section 6 鈥? 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.
Clean-Up Procedures
Wastes are not hazardous as defined by the RCRA (40 CFR 261). Comply with state and local regulations for
disposal of these products. If you are unsure of the regulations, contact your local Public Health Department, or
the local office of the EPA.
Section 7 鈥? Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures
Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this material safety data sheet when handling
uncontained material. Good housekeeping practices should be used to prevent generation and accumulation of
dusts. After handling product, wash face and hands before eating, drinking, or smoking.
Storage Procedures
Warehouse storage should be in accordance with package directions, if any. Material should be kept dry, and
protected from the elements.
Section 8 鈥? Exposure Control and Personal Protection
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
This product may contain trace amounts of crystalline silica. Due to the product form, exposures to hazardous
dusts or fumes are not expected to occur.
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 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
Loose-fitting, long-sleeved clothing should be worn to protect the skin from irritation. Exposed skin areas should
be washed with soap and warm water after handling.

Chronic Toxicity
Crystalline silica is considered a hazard by inhalation. IARC has classified crystalline silica as a Group 1
substance, carcinogenic to humans. This classification is based on the findings of laboratory animal studies
(inhalation and implantation) and epidemiology studies that were considered sufficient for carcinogenicity.
Excessive exposure to respirable crystalline silica can cause silicosis, a non-cancerous lung disease. Crystalline
silica has not been classified by OSHA.
No chronic health effects are known to be associated with exposure to Synthetic Vitreous Fiber. Results from
epidemiological studies have not shown any increases in respiratory disease or cancer. IARC has classified
Synthetic Vitreous Fiber as a Group 3 substance, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans.
