MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY:
Inhalation: Vapors from burning may be irritating to the respiratory tract or cause narcosis with
symptoms of headache, dizziness and nausea; allergic-type of sensitization may occur
with inhalation, causing symptoms of wheezing and shortness of breath. Breathing
dusts and fibers may cause short-term mechanical irritation of the nose, throat and upper
respiratory tract.
Skin: Short contact with human skin is not likely to produce skin irritation. Repeated
prolonged contact can induce mild irritation. This product is not likely to be absorbed
through human skin.
Eyes: May cause a physical irritation to the eye.
Ingestion: Although not likely to occur in industrial applications, accidental ingestion may cause
irritation of the mouth and gastrointestinal tract.
CARCINOGENICITY: This product is not known as a carcinogen.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE:
Respiratory or skin conditions that are aggravated by mechanical irritants may be at an
increased risk for worsening from exposure to this product.
SECTION IV ?FIRST AID
INHALATION: Move the person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
SKIN: Wash any material off skin with mild soap and cool water. Do not rub or scratch
irritated areas. This may force fibers into the skin. Seek medical attention if
irritation persists.
If molten material comes in contact with skin, cool rapidly with cold water. Do
not attempt to remove material from skin. Obtain medical treatment for thermal
burn.
EYES: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation
persists.
INGESTION: Not expected to occur. Should ingestion take place, the person should be
watched for several days to ensure intestinal blockage does not occur.
SECTION V - FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT (METHOD USED): N/A
FLAMMABLE LIMIT: LEL: N/A UEL: N/A
AUTO IGNITION TEMPERATURE : N/A
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS: None
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, spray and foam. Water is the best
extinguishing medium.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: In a sustained fire, proper protection against products of
combustion must be worn. Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full bunker
turnout gear in a sustained fire.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: May produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide and hydrocarbon fragments if burned.
SECTION VI - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Land Spill: Material is a solid. Pick up the lager pieces and wet sweep or vacuum up any
scrapes. Place in a suitable container for disposal as a non-hazardous waste.
Water Spill: This material will sink and disperse along the bottom of waterways and ponds.
Large pieces should be removed and placed in a suitable container for disposal.
Smaller pieces cannot be easily removed after it is waterborne; however, the
material is non-hazardous in water.
Air Release: The material will settle out of the air where it can be cleaned as a land spill.
SECTION VII ?HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING: For maximum comfort, avoid excessive contact
with skin and use good personal hygiene.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS: If excessive dust is generated, use a respirator approved by NIOSH for
dust. This material is not an electrical conductor and may accumulate static charge.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: N/A
STORAGE PRESSURE: N/A
GENERAL: Store in cool, dry are away from moisture, excessive heat and sources of ignition.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
VENTILATION: Use local exhaust or general room dilution to maintain employee
exposures below occupational exposure limits.
SPECIAL: None
MECHANICAL: None
OTHER: None
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If the use or manufacturing of this product generates high dust
levels, use a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved disposable respirator such as 3M model
8210 (or 3M model 8271 in high humidity environments). Always use a respirator in
accordance with your company's respiratory protection program, local regulations, and OSHA
regulation 29CFR1910.134.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Not required, but gloves and barrier creams can be used to protect against
mechanical irritation of the hands.
EYE PROTECTION: As generally good practice, safety glasses with side shields should be worn.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: None required. Good personal hygiene,
barrier creams, caps, coveralls, loose fitting long sleeve shirt that covers to the base of the neck
and long pants will maximize comfort. Skin irritation is known to occur chiefly at pressure
points such as around the neck, wrist, waist, and between fingers.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Handle using good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Wash
thoroughly with mild soap and cool water after handling of the material. Remove material from
clothing using vacuum equipment (never used compressed air). Always wash work cloths
separately from other clothing. Wipe out washer or sink to prevent loose glass fibers from
getting on other clothing. Keep the work area clean of dusts and fibers released during
processing or fabrication. Use vacuum equipment to clean up product. Avoid dry sweeping or
using compressed air as these techniques re-suspend dusts and fibers into the air. Have access
to a shower and eye wash station.
