POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (See Section 11 for toxicological data.)

mechanical action. Elevated temperatures may generate vapor
levels sufficient to cause eye irritation.
SKIN: May cause itching. May cause skin irritation due to
mechanical action. Molten material may burn skin. Skin

absorption is unlikely due to physical properties.
INGESTION: Single dose oral toxicicity is considered to be
extremely low. No hazards anticipated from swallowing small
amounts incidental to normal handling operations.
INHALATION: At room temperature, exposure to vapors are unlikely
due to physical properties; normal processing temperatures may
generate vapors which may cause irritation if ventilation
is inadequate. Dusts or fibers generated in processing may
cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
SYSTEMIC (OTHER TARGET ORGAN) EFFECTS: Repeated exposure to
dusts/fibers may cause respiratory irritation/effects. Repeated
exposure to particles generated by grinding fiberglass-
reinforced materials may result in implantation of particles in
the skin. Acrylic polymer modifier and color concentrate (when
present) are encapsulated in the resin and unavailable for
exposure during normal handling operations.
CANCER INFORMATION: The fiberglass in this product is continuous
filament fiberglass. Based on available data, IARC concluded
that there is inadequate evidence of carcinogenicity in
laboratory animals and in humans for continous filament
fiberglass.
4. FIRST AID
EYES: Flush eyes with plenty of water.
SKIN: Wash off in flowing water or shower.
INGESTION: No adverse effects anticipated by this route of
exposure incidental to proper industrial handling.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air if effects occur. Consult a
physician.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: If burn is present, treat as any thermal
burn, after decontamination. No specific antidote. Supportive
care. Treatment based on judgment of the physician in response
to reactions of the patient.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
FLASH POINT: Not applicable
METHOD USED: Not applicable
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS
LFL: Not applicable
UFL: Not applicable
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Under fire conditions polymers
decompose. The smoke may contain polymer fragments of varying
compositions in addition to unidentified toxic and/or irritating
compounds. Hazardous combustion products may include and are
not limited to Carbon monoxide and Carbon dioxide and trace
amounts of aromatic hydrocarbons and Hydrogen cyanide.
OTHER FLAMMABILITY INFORMATION: Dense smoke is emitted when
burned without sufficient oxygen. Mechanical handling can cause
formation of dusts. To reduce the potential for dust explosion,
do not permit dust to accumulate.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, Carbon dioxide or Dry chemical.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Keep people away. Isolate fire area
and deny unnecessary entry. Cool surroundings with water to
localize fire zone. Hand held carbon dioxide or dry chemical
extinguishers may be used for small fires. Soak thoroughly
with water to cool and prevent reignition.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure
self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire
fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, pants,
boots, and gloves). If protective equipment is not available
or not used, fight fire from a protected location or safe
distance.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (See Section 15 for Regulatory
Information)
PROTECT PEOPLE: Pellets or beads may present a slipping hazard.
PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT: Spills should be collected to prevent
contamination of waterways. Material is heavier than water and
has limited water solubility. It will collect on the lowest
surface. See section 12 for more specific information.
CLEANUP: Sweep up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
HANDLING: Good housekeeping and controlling of dusts are
necessary for safe handling of product.
STORAGE: Store in a dry place.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide general and/or local exhaust
ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure
guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses. If there is a
potential for exposure to particles which could cause
mechanical injury to the eye, wear chemical goggles. If vapor
exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator.
SKIN PROTECTION: Wear clean, long-sleeved, body-covering
clothing. Use gloves impervious to this material. Use
gloves with insulation for thermal protection, when needed.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Atmospheric levels should be maintained
below the exposure guideline. For most conditions, no
respiratory protection should be needed; however, if handling
at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use
an approved air-purifying respirator. In dusty atmospheres,
use an approved dust respirator.
EXPOSURE GUIDELINE(S): Fibrous glass: ACGIH TLV is 10 mg/m3.
Dow IHG is 1 fiber/cc.

CONDITIONS TO AVOID: Avoid temperatures above 500F (260C).
INCOMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER MATERIALS: None known.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Processing may release fumes
which may include polymer fragments and other decomposition
products. Fumes can be irritating. At temperatures exceeding
melt temperatures, polymer fragments can occur. Hazardous
decompositon products may include and are not limited to
aliphatic and aromatic compounds, carbon dioxide and trace
amounts of hydrogen cyanide.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: Will not occur.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION (See Section 3 for Potential Health
Effects. For detailed toxicological data, write or call the
address or non-emergency number shown in Section 1)
ACUTE
INGESTION: Single dose oral LD50 has not been determined.
MUTAGENICITY (EFFECTS ON GENETIC MATERIAL):
Results of in vitro (test tube) mutagenicity studies on
fiberglass have been inconclusive.
12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION (For detailed Ecological data, write or call
the address or non-emergency number shown in Section 1)
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
MOVEMENT & PARTITIONING: No bioconcentration is expected
because of high molecular weight (MW > 1000). In the
terrestrial environment, material is expected to remain in
the soil. In the aquatic environment, material will sink and
remain in the sediment.
DEGRADATION & PERSISTENCE: This water insoluble polymeric solid
is expected to be essentially unreactive in the environment
over a period of many years. Surface photodegradation is
expected with exposure to sunlight. No appreciable
biodegradation is expected.
ECOTOXICITY: Not expected to be acutely toxic, but pellets, if
ingested by waterfowl or aquatic life, may mechanically cause
adverse effects.
