Potential Acute Health Effects
Inhalation:
Dusts and fibers from this product may cause mechanical irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract.
Skin Contact:
Dusts and fibers from this product may cause temporary mechanical irritation to the skin.
Eye Contact:
Dusts and fibers from this product may cause temporary mechanical irritation to the eyes.
Ingestion:
Ingestion of this product is unlikely. 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.
Chronic Conditions:
See Section 11 for additional information.
* * * Section 4 - First Aid Measures * * *
Inhalation:
If inhaled, remove the affected person to fresh air. If irritation persists get medical attention.
Skin Contact:
For skin contact, wash with mild soap and running water. Use a washcloth 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. 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.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists get 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.

Extinguishing Media:
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water fog.
Unusual Fire & Explosion Hazards:
This product facer contains a flame retardant hydrocarbon polymer and antimony decabrom compounds that does
not support combustion. Prolonged exposure to a sustained flame can cause decomposition and release toxic,
irritant or corrosive fumes or gases described below.
Fire-Fighting Instructions:
In a sustained fire use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full bunker turnout gear.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
Primary combustion products are carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen halides and various
hydrocarbons. Toxic or corrosive fumes of hydrogen bromide and antimony bromides and hydrogen fluoride and
other undetermined compounds could be released in smaller quantities. Other undetermined compounds could
be released in small quantities.
* * * Section 6 ?Accidental Release Measures * * *
Containment Procedures:
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 cannot easily
be removed after it is waterborne; however, the material is non-hazardous in water.
Clean-Up Procedures:
Scoop up material and put into a suitable container for disposal as a non-hazardous waste.
Response Procedures:
Isolate area. Keep unnecessary personnel away.
Special Procedures:
None.
* * * Section 7 ?Handling and Storage * * *
Handling Procedures:
No special handling procedures are required for this product.
Storage Procedures:
No special storage procedures are required for this product. 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 close to working areas as possible, to prevent
release of fibers and dust.

Carcinogenicity:
Fiber Glass Wool: 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.
In 1994, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) classified glass wool (respirable size) as "reasonably anticipated
to be a human carcinogen." This classification was primarily based upon the 1987 IARC classification. NTP is
currently considering reclassifying this material.
Fiber Glass Continuous Filament: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in June, 1987,
categorized fiber glass continuous filament as not classifiable with respect to human carcinogenicity (Group 3).
The evidence from human as well as animal studies was evaluated by IARC as insufficient to classify fiber glass
continuous filament as a confirmed, probable, or even possible cancer causing material.
For respirable continuous filament glass fibers, a TLV-TWA of 1 fiber/cc was adopted to protect workers against
mechanical irritation. The TLV-TWA of 5 mg/m3 was adopted for nonrespirable glass filament fiber, measured as
inhalable dust, to prevent mechanical irritation of the upper respiratory tract.
Note: There is no known chronic health effects connected with long term use or contact with these
products.
Products that are chopped, crushed or severely mechanically processed during manufacture or use may contain
a very small amount of respirable glass fiber-like fragments. NIOSH defines "respirable fibers " as greater than 5
microns in length and less than 3 microns in diameter with an aspect ratio of > 5:1(length-to-width ratio).

Carbon Black: A subchronic (90-day) inhalation toxicity test observed inflammation, hyperplasia and fibrosis in
lungs of exposed rats. The No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was 1.1 mg/m3. A chronic inhalation study (2
years) observed lung inflammation, fibrosis and tumors in rats exposed to high concentrations of fine carbon black
dust. Tumors were not observed in mice and hamsters for carbon black under similar circumstances and study
conditions. Tumors in the rat lung are related to the fine particle overload phenomenon rather than to a specific
chemical effect of the dust particles in the lung and appear to be species specific.
Results from Epidemiological studies of carbon black production workers are inconsistent and difficult to interpret.
Some studies evaluated the statistical association of carbon black production work with symptoms of cough and
sputum. A comprehensive independent review of a major epidemiological study concluded available data not
support an association between carbon black exposures and symptoms of cough and sputum. Changes in some
lung function tests and increased average number of opacities (shadows) on chest x-ray examinations have also
been suggested, but their clinical significance is uncertain.
Mutagencity testing indicates a DMSO suspension of carbon black produced negative results in an Ames test. Organic
solvent extracts of carbon black can contain traces of polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). These can cause negative and
positive test results in different in-vitro test systems. In an experimental investigation, mutational changes in the hptv gene
were reported in alveolar epithelial cells in the rat following inhalation exposure to carbon black. This observation is
believed to be rat specific and a consequence of "lung overload" as described above.
