3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Canadian WHMIS for the preparation:
Class D, Division 2B ?Toxic Material Causing Eye and Skin Irritation
EU PREPARATION CLASSIFICATION (1999/45/EC):
Harmful (Xn), R22
Irritant (Xi), R36/37/38
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Inhalation of product particulates or of residual solvent vapors may be harmful. Harmful if
swallowed.
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS: No information is available on this specific mixture as a whole. The information
presented is based on each of the components present at concentrations greater than 1% (0.1 % for hazardous
substances other than those classified as Xn, Xi, or as category 3 carcinogens, mutagens, or toxic for reproduction).
Exposure to product may cause skin, or digestive or respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled or absorbed
through the skin. May cause effects on the central nervous system, causing respiratory failure, when ingested. This
product contains less than one percent total residual solvents (methyl ethyl ketone). Exposure to residual vapors may
cause eye and respiratory tract irritation, and may cause effects on the central nervous system. Long-term or repeated
exposures to residual vapors may have toxic effects upon human reproduction.

POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS (continued)
Dust generated during routine handling, machining, grinding, or sawing may cause mechanical irritation of skin, eyes,
nose, and throat.
Machining, grinding or sawing this material may generate harmful dusts. Continuous filament glass fiber is not considered
fibrogenic; however, it is woven from E-Glass fibers which are listed by IARC as "special purpose glass fibers" and
designated as "possibility of carcinogenic in humans." See Section 8 for exposure controls.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: Dermal: YES Inhalation: POSSIBLE Ingestion: SLIGHT Injection: POSSIBLE
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF IRRITATION OCCURS.
INHALATION: Remove the person to fresh air. Treat respiratory distress as appropriate (artificial respiration, etc.)
Provide oxygen if necessary. If not breathing, give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and seek immediate medical attention.
EYES: Immediately flush eyes with large amounts of temperate water for a minimum of 15 minutes. Consult an
ophthalmologist for a more detailed medical evaluation.
SKIN: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with mild soap and room temperature running water. DO
NOT rub or scratch irritated areas, as this may force fibers into the skin. See immediate medical attention if irritation
continues.
INGESTION: Not expected to be a significant route of exposure based on expected use. If ingestion occurs, seek
immediate medical attention.
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: May include irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract, eye redness and pain,
difficulty breathing, cough, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, unconsciousness or other effects on the central
nervous system, and /or vomiting.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. Water may be ineffective as an
extinguishing medium, but can be used to cool fire-exposed containers. If using a fire extinguisher, make sure that it is an
NFPA Class B extinguisher (e.g. label rating will read AB, ABC or BC)
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Wear full bunker gear including a positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
GENERAL: Under conditions of inadequate ventilation, explosive vapor concentrations may form. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing. Sweep or scrape into approved container for proper disposal. See Section 13 for Disposal
Considerations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: May contain residual volatile organic compounds. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not eat,
drink or smoke while handling this product. The use of appropriate gloves is recommended to minimize the potential for
skin contact (See Section 8). Provide adequate ventilation to minimize exposure. Do not breathe dust. Avoid ingestion
of product. Provide proper NIOSH- or local authority-approved respirators if exposure limits are exceeded.
STORAGE: Store in tightly closed containers in a well-ventilated, cool, dry area. Avoid contact with incompatible
materials. Keep from ignition sources, such as sparks and flames. Store protected from moisture. NO SMOKING.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Use local exhaust to minimize exposures and maintain airborne dust and vapor concentrations below occupational
exposure limits, especially where heating or machining/grinding/sawing operations occur.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In the absence of adequate general or local ventilation, or other appropriate
engineering controls, use a NIOSH- or local authority-approved respirator appropriate for the contaminant if
exposure limits are exceeded. Consult an industrial hygienist for assistance as needed.
SKIN PROTECTION: Avoid skin contact! Use impervious gloves, and splash-resistant clean body-covering
clothing to minimize exposure. Due to the combination of chemical ingredients, an industrial hygienist should be
consulted to select appropriate glove material for specific product application. Wash contaminated clothing before
reuse.
EYE PROTECTION: Use chemical resistant goggles when handling, and safety glasses or a face shield when
machining, grinding or sawing.
WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES: Good personal hygiene should be exercised by all users of this product to minimize
potential dermal and inhalation exposures.
