3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
PRINCIPLE ROUTES OF EXPOSURE: Inhalation, ingestion and dermal.
The key immediate hazards are:
Skin, eye, and respiratory irritant
Effects from Acute Exposure:
Causes eye irritation.
EYE CONTACT :
Causes skin irritation.
SKIN CONTACT:
Ferro Corporation Page 1 of 5
PRODUCT TRADE NAME: FB284-M-2
Causes lung irritation.
INHALATION:
May be harmful if swallowed.
INGESTION:
AGGRAVATED MEDICAL CONDITIONS:
Respiratory
Effects from Chronic Exposure:
CARCINOGENIC INGREDIENTS:
None
OVEREXPOSURE EFFECTS:
CONTAINS BOROSILICATE FRIT:
Overexposure to borosilicate frit may cause skin, eye, and respiratory irritation due to the physical nature of the
particulates. Repeated and prolonged breathing of these particulates might cause coughing, wheezing,
impaired lung function, and increased sputum production. Smoking aggravates these effects.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
INGESTION: If swallowed, give at least 3-4 glasses of water, but do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything
by mouth to an unconscious or convulsing person. Get immediate medical attention.
SKIN: For skin contact, wash affected areas with plenty of water, and soap if available, for several minutes.
Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
INHALATION: If inhaled, remove from area to fresh air. Get medical attention if respiratory irritation develops or
if breathing becomes difficult.
EYES: For eye contact, immediately flush eyes for at least 15 minutes with running water. Hold eyelids apart to
ensure rinsing of the entire eye surface and lids with water. Get immediate medical attention if irritation
develops.
NOTES TO PHYSICIAN: None specified.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
OSHA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: NON-COMBUSTIBLE
