REMOVE DUST WITH VACUUM FITTED WITH HEPA FILTER. USE DUST SUPPRESSANT If SWEEPING IS NECESSARY.
VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
Bye Protection: GOGGLES OR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS ARE RECOMMENDED
DURING MACHINING OPERATIONS.
Protective Gloves: GLOVES ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN HANDLING.
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH OR MSHA APPROVED DUST RESPIRATORS IN COMPLIANCE
WITH OSHA STANDARD 29 CFR 1910.134.
Ventilation: USE SUFFICIENT NATURAL OR MECHANICAL VENTILATION TO
KEEP EXPOSURE LEVELS BELOW PEL/TLV WORK PLACE
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES.
Other: WEAR LOOSE FITTING, LONG SLEEVED CLOTHING WHEN
HANDLING IN A MANNER THAT LIBERATES LOOSE DUST. WASH
EXPOSED AREAS WITH SOAP AND WATER AFTER HANDLING.
WASH WORK CLOTHING SEPARATELY FROM OTHER CLOTHING;
RINSE WASHER THOROUGHLY.
IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
(A) California Proposition 65: ON JULY 1, 1990 THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ADDED "CERAMIC FIBERS (AIRBORNE PARTICLES
OF RESPIRABLE SIZE)" TO THE LIST OF PROPOSITION 65 CHEMICALS WHICH ARE "KNOWN TO CAUSE CANCER" BY THE STATE.
PROPOSITION 55 LISTS ALL SUBSTANCES CLASSIFIED BY THE IARC AS A CATEGORY 1, 2A OR 2B CARCINOGEN.
(3) Ceramic Fiber Information: INHALATION AND INJECTION STUDIES ON LABORATORY ANIMALS HAVE PRODUCED CONFLICTING
RESULTS CONCERNING THE CARCINOGENICITY OF VITREOUS ALUMINOSILICATE FIBERS. NO DATA ARE AVAILABLE FROM HUMAN
EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES. THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY OF RESEARCH ON CANCER (IARC) HAS RECENTLY REVIEWED THE
ANIMAL,HUMAN, AND OTHER RELEVANT EXPERIMENTAL DATA ON MAN MADE MINERAL FIBERS TO EVALUATE AND CLASSIFY THE CANCER
CAUSING POTENTIAL OF THESE MATERIALS. BASED ON ITS REVIEW, THE IARC HAS CLASSIFIED CERAMIC FIBER:S, ALONG WITH
FIBER GLASS WOOL AND MINERAL WOOL AS
GROUP 2B CARCINOGENS, POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS. PENDING RESULTS OF FURTHER STUDIES, STRICT ADHERENCE TO
RECOMMENDED SAFE WORR PRACTICES ARE ADVISED.
(C) After Service Information: AS MANUFACTURED THIS PRODUCT IS AN ALUMINOSILICATE WHICH MAY TRANSFORM UPON HEATING
TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 1000 DEG. C FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME) TO NON-HAZARDOUS MULLITE AND C~ISTOBALITE
(CAS # 14464-46-1), A FORM OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA. REMOVAL OF THIS PRODUCT AFTER USE MAY GENERATE DUST.
PROLONGED OR REPEATED INHALATION OF RESPIRABLE FREE CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST MAY CAUSE DELAYED LUNG INJURY
(SILICOSIS). THE IARC HAS CLASSIFIED CRYSTALLINE SILICA AS GROUP 2A, PROBABLE HUMAN CARCINOGEN. THERE IS
SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE OF CARCINOGENICITY IN ANIMALS, BUT LIMITED EVIDENCE IN HUMANS. OSHA'S FINAL RULE LIMIT AND
ACGIH'S TLV FOR RESPIRABLE CRISTOBALITE IS .05 mg/m3. APPROPRIATE VENTILATION AND RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
SHOULD BE PROVIDED IN COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA STANDARDS. STRICT ADHERENCE TO RECOMMENDED SAFE WORR PRACTICES IS
ADVISED.
(D) WHMIS Status: THIS IS A CLASS D2 CONTROLLED PRODUCT BASED ON AN IARC 2B CLASSIFICATION FOR CERAMIC FIBERS.
(E) SARA Section 313 Supplier Notification: THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT CONTAIN TOXIC CHEMICALS SUBJECT TO THE
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF THE SUPERFUND AMENDMENTS AND REAUTHORIZATION ACT OF 1986 SECTION 313 (40 CFR 372).

ATTACHMENT 1
ORGANIC BINDER SYSTEM
ACRYLIC LATEX
A. Decomposition by burning. Hazardous Gasses - CO
CO2
Small amounts of aromatic
and aliphatic hydrocarbons
The levels of the above gasses will vary with combustion conditions, oxygen level
and heat.
In unventilated areas, proper respiratory protection should be used.
B. Decomposition by heat in a starved oxygen atmosphere. Hazardous Gasses Released
-Acrylate monomer
Acrylonitril monomer
Acrylates - Detected by odor at approx. 90 ppb. The recommended exposure should be
controlled at or below 5 ppm as an 8 hr. TWA.
Skin contact (moist atmosphere) can produce skin irritation and prolonged or
repeated contact may produce skin sensitization.
Acrylonitriles - At the levels of latex add on and the small amount in the latex
polymer as received, there may be trace amounts released under extreme conditions.
OSHA PEL work place exposure is 2 ppm (8 hr. TWA), ceiling limit is
10 ppm for any 15 min. period (OSHA 1910, 1045, CFR Title 29).
If confined, limited air space and ventilation conditions exist, in-plant monitoring
should be done to insure compliance.
