SECTION III: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: No unusual conditions are expected from this product.
APPEARANCE AND ODOR: Resin-coated black carbon fibers woven with yellow aramid fibers into fabric of varying
weight and thickness, depending on the style, with no distinctive odor.
STATEMENTS OF HAZARD:
CARBON MATERIAL IS ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SHOULD BE PROTECTED FROM
EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE FIBER.
DUST PARTICLES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PRODUCT MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE SKIN, EYES, OR UPPER
RESPIRATORY TRACT.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
EYES--YES SKIN CONTACT--YES INHALATION--NO INGESTION--NO
HMIS RATING:
CARBON: HEALTH--1 FLAMMABILITY--0 REACTIVITY--0 SPECIAL--NONE
ARAMID: HEALTH--0 FLAMMABILITY--1 REACTIVITY--0 SPECIAL--NONE
SIZING: HEALTH--1 FLAMMABILITY--1 REACTIVITY--0 SPECIAL--NONE

SECTION III: HAZARD IDENTIFICATION (CONTINUED)
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS:
EYES: Low hazard. Fiber fly and dust may cause temporary irritation.
SKIN: Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial production. Continual rubbing of fibers on the skin may cause
irritation.
INHALATION: In some cases ?see Section VII. Fiber dust and fly from processing may be breathed into nose and throat.
Working unprotected in dusty conditions may cause upper respiratory irritation and cold-like symptoms.
INGESTION: Ingestion unlikely under normal use. May cause gastrointestinal irritation.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: Possible Rash.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: None known
SECTION IV: FIRST AID MEASURES
SKIN CONTACT: To relieve skin irritation, wash with soap and water. Avoid rubbing or scratching.
EYE CONTACT: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes. Avoid rubbing or scratching.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Treat any irritation symptomatically, contact a physician.
INGESTION: Ingestion very unlikely.
With all contact, get medical attention if irritation persists.
SECTION V: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT/METHOD OF DETERMINATION: N/A. Not Flammable.
FLAMMABILITY LIMITS: N/A
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Normal firefighting procedures. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, water spray.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Keep personnel removed and
upwind of fire. Wear full protective equipment.
USUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Carbon fiber may be released in a fire situation, and the fibers are sufficiently
conductive to cause severe electrical problems. Burning of carbon and aramid normally stops when ignition source is
removed. Pulp and dust may continue to smolder once ignited. Carbon or aramid fiber dust does not present explosion
hazards.
SECTION VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PROCEDURES IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL RELEASE OR LEAKAGE: Review firefighting procedures and Handling
sections before proceeding with clean up. Fiber is not biodegradable; do not flush to drains. Avoid the use of dry sweeping
or air jet blowing of fibers and dust, which can re-suspend respirable dust in the air.
MSDS NUMBER: TYFO-SCH-41S-001 DATE: April 6, 2010 PAGE 3 OF 5
SECTION VII: HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place. Maintain seal against
contamination from dirt and moisture. Do not store in direct sunlight. Avoid drying of aramid to less than 4% moisture.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Protect all electrical equipment, in or near areas in which fiber is handled or used, from contact
with airborne particles and filaments to avoid possible damage caused by electrical shorts. Airborne particles and filaments
should be controlled so as to minimize (1) skin irritation, (2) electrical shorts in switch gear, etc. due to conductivity of fiber.
SECTION VIII: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Safety glasses
SKIN PROTECTION: Recommended disposable protective garments to eliminate possible skin irritation. Clothing should
protect the base of the neck, legs and arms. Protective gloves (rubber).
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Personal dust respirators applicable if high degree of fiber fly is experienced. NIOSH
approved nuisance dust masks.
VENTILATION: Adequate ventilation should be provided at points where product is handled. Skin contact should be
minimized through process design or protected with the use of protective clothing, eye protection and work gloves.
GENERAL HYGIENE RECOMMENDATIONS: Before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities, wash face and
hands thoroughly with soap and water. Do not consume food or drinks in areas where they may be contaminated with this
material.
