SECTION 3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Chemical Name CAS# Ingredient Percent
Fiber Glass (Wool) 65997-17-3    60 - 100 by weight
Cured Binder N/A    0 - 40 by weight


Non-Hazardous Statement:. The remaining components of this product are non-hazardous or are in a small enough quantity as to not meet regulatory thresholds for disclosure. These components contain no substances or impurities which would influence the classification of this product.



SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Ensure adequate flushing of the eyes by separating the eyelids with fingers.
Do not rub or scratch eyes.
If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
Skin Contact: Wash off immediately with soap and cold water.
DO NOT use warm water because this will open up the pores of the skin, which will cause further penetration of the fibers.
Use a wash cloth to help remove fibers.
DO NOT rub or scratch affected areas.
Remove contaminated clothing.
If irritation persists get medical attention.
Never use compressed air to remove fibers from the skin.
If fibers are seen penetrating from the skin, the fibers can be removed by applying and removing adhesive tape so that the fibers adhere to the tape and are pulled out of the skin.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Ingestion: Accidental ingestion of this material is unlikely.
If this does occur, watch person for several days to make sure intestinal blockage does not occur.
Rinse mouth with water and drink water to remove fibers from the throat.
If symptoms persist, call a physician.
Note to Physicians: Treat symptomatically.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personnel Precautions: Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for containment: This material will settle out of the air.
Prevent from spreading by covering, diking or other means.
Methods for cleanup: Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency filter to clean up dust and fiber contamination.
Avoid dry sweeping.
Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.
Other Precautions: Does not apply.


SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling: Avoid dust formation.
Do not breathe dust.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Storage: Keep product in its packaging until use to minimize potential dust generation.
Product should be kept dry and undercover.
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.


SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust and/or general ventilation to maintain exposure below regulatory and recommended limits.
Dust collection system must be used in transferring operations, cutting or machining or other dust generating processes, such as using power tools.
Vacuum or wet clean-up methods should be used.
Eye/Face Protection: Safety glasses with side-shields.
Skin Protection Description: Protective gloves.
Long sleeved shirt and long pants.
Respiratory Protection: When workers are facing airborne particulate/dust concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.
A properly fitted NIOSH approved disposable N 95 type dust respirator or better is recommended.
Other Protective: When the temperature of the surface being insulated exceeds 250°F (121°C), including initial startup, the binder in these products may undergo various degrees of decomposition depending on the temperature in the application.
The need for respiratory protection will vary according to the airborne concentration of the decomposition products released and accumulated in the area.
Wear the appropriate respiratory protection according to the conditions and exposure levels in the area.
General Hygiene Considerations: Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Fiber Glass (Wool) :
Chronic Effects: In October 2001, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified fiber glass wool as Group 3,""not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans"". The 2001 decision was based on human studies and animal research that have not shown an association between inhalation exposure to dust from fiber glass wool and the development of respiratory disease. This classification replaces the IARC finding in 1987 of a Group B designation ""possibly carcinogenic to humans."".

In May 1997, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) adopted an A3 carcinogen classification for glass wool fibers. The ACGIH A3 classification considers glass wool to be carcinogenic in experimental animals at relatively high doses, by routes of administration, at sites, or by mechanisms that it does not consider relevant to worker exposure. It also reviewed the available epidemiological studies and concluded that they do not confirm an increased risk of cancer in exposed humans. Overall, the ACGIH found that the available medical/scientific evidence suggests that glass wool is not likely to cause cancer in humans except under uncommon or unlikely routes or levels of exposure.
