Section II. INGREDIENT INFORMATION

Section III. HEALTH HAZARD DATA

Primary Route(s) of Entry:
Inhalation, skin, eye

Potential Heath Effects:
Acute: Dust may cause mechanical irritant and may cause irritation or soreness of the eyes, skin and mucous membranes of respiratory tract.

Chronic: Results from the most recent cohort and nested case-control epidemiological studies of U.S. workers exposed to glass wool have not provided evidence of an association between exposure to fibers and risk for respiratory cancer or mesothelioma.

Component Carcinogenicity:
Fiberglass Wool

• IARC: Group 3 (not classifiable)
• NTP: Group IIB (reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen)
• OSHA: Not listed
• ACGIH: A3 (animal carcinogen with unknown relevance to humans)

Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Chronic respiration or skin condition may temporarily worsen from exposure to these products.

Section IV. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Eye Contact: Wash eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin Contact: Wash with mild soap and running water. Use a washcloth to help remove fibers. To avoid further irritation, do not rub or scratch irritated areas. Rubbing or scratching may force fiber into skin. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If this does occur, observe individual for several days to insure that intestinal blockage does not occur

Section V. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Flash Point, °C, Test Method: None
Flammable Limits, vol%: None
Auto-Ignition Temperature: NA
Extinguishing Media: Water, foam, CO2 or dry chemical

Fire Fighting Instructions:
Use self-contained breathing apparatus in a sustained fire.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Special care should be taken when working close to products with special facings coatings, as these may burn.

Section VI. EXPOSURE LIMITS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION

Personal Protection:
Respiratory protection: 3M 8710, 3M 9900 (in high humidity environments) or equivalent for exposures over 5mg/m3 respirable dust.

Skin Protection: Long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing and gloves.

Eye Protection: Goggles or face shield.

Engineering Control: General dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation should be provided as
necessary to maintain exposures below regulatory limits. Dust collection systems should be used in operation involving cutting or machining and may be required in operations using power tools.
