Material Safety Data Sheet
Product: Fiberglass with ASJ and SSL
Acute Skin:
Dusts and fibers from this product may cause temporary mechanical irritation to the skin.
Acute Inhalation:
Temporary mechanical irritation of the upper respiratory tract (scratchy throat, coughing, and
congestion) may result from exposures to dusts and fibers in excess of applicable exposure
limits.
Acute ingestion:
Not anticipated under normal use conditions However, ingestion of product may produce
gastrointestinal irritation and disturbances.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Chronic respiratory or skin conditions may temporarily worsen from exposure to this product.
IV. First Aid Measures
First Aid Measures for Accidental:
Eye Exposure:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention, if irritation
persists.
Skin Exposure:
For skin contact, wash with mild soap and running water. Use a wash cloth to help remove fibers.
To avoid further irritation, do not rub or scratch affected areas. Rubbing or scratching may force
fibers into the skin. If irritation persists get medical attention. Never use compressed air to
remove fibers from the skin.
Inhalation:
Remove to fresh air. If breathing has stopped, administer artificial respiration and supply oxygen.
Seek medical attention.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If it does occur, watch the person for several days to make
sure that partial or complete intestinal obstruction does not occur. Do not induce vomiting unless
directed to do so by medical personnel.

Material Safety Data Sheet
Product: Fiberglass with ASJ and SSL
Extinguishing Media:
Product itself has no risk of fire or explosion. Use extinguishing media appropriate for
surrounding materials.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn out gear.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
May release acrid smoke in a sustained fire.
Hazardous Decomposition Materials (Under Fire Conditions):
Primary combustion products are hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide. Other undetermined compounds could be released in small quantities.
VI. Accidental Release Measures
Cleanup and Disposal of Spill:
This material will settle out of the air. If concentrated on land, it can then be scooped up for disposal as a
non-hazardous waste. This material will sink and disperse along the bottom of waterways and ponds. It
can not easily be removed after it is waterborne; however, the material is non-hazardous in water.
Dispose of product in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations.
VII. Handling and Storage
Handling and Storage:
No special procedures are required for this material. Keep product in its packaging, as long as practicable
to minimize potential dust generation. Keep work areas clean. Avoid unnecessary handling of scrap
materials by placing them in waste disposal containers and equipment, kept as to close working areas as
possible, to prevent release of fibers and dust. Avoid inhaling dusts or vapors produced during thermal
processing. Avoid eye and excessive skin contact. Use only with adequate ventilation. As with all
chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed when handling this material. Special care
must be taken to avoid buildup of dusts.

Material Safety Data Sheet
Product: Fiberglass with ASJ and SSL
Engineering Controls:
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 operations involving cutting
or machining and may be required in operations using power tools.
Respiratory Protection:
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149.
Always use a NIOSH/MSA approved respirator when necessary. A respirator should be used if ventilation
is unavailable, or is inadequate for keeping dust and fiber levels below the applicable exposure limits.
Eye / Face Protection:
Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
Skin Protection:
Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended. Use impervious gloves. Skin
irritation is known to occur chiefly at the pressure points such as around the neck, wrists, waist and
between the fingers.

Dusts may cause mechanical irritation to eyes and skin. Ingestion may cause transient irritation of throat,
stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Inhalation may cause coughing, nose and throat irritation, and
sneezing. Higher exposures may cause difficulty breathing, congestion, and chest tightness.

Carcinogenicity
A: General Product Information
In October 2001 the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded its re-evaluation of
the carcinogenic risk of mineral wool fibers. The result was a reclassification of the fibers from Group 2B
(possibly carcinogenic to humans) to Group 3 (not classifiable as to the carcinogenicity to humans).
Epidemiological studies published during the 15 years prior to the 2001 IARC review provide no evidence
of increased risk of cancer from occupational exposure during manufacture or use of mineral wool fiber.
B: Component Carcinogenicity
For Mineral Fiber:
ACGIH: A3 - animal carcinogen (related to rock wool fibers) with unknown relevance to humans
IARC: Group 3, Not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
