exposure to carbon black is not expected to occur. Exposure limits are given for reference only.
4. First aid measures
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open.
Get medical attention if irritation occurs.
Skin contact: Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use recognized skin cleanser.
Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air. Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion: Wash out mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical
personnel.
Notes to physician: No specific treatment. Treat symptomatically. Contact poison treatment specialist
immediately if large quantities have been ingested or inhaled.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Flammability of the product: No specific fire or explosion hazard.
Extinguishing media
Suitable: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Not suitable: None known.
Fire-fighting measures: Under the influence of high temperatures, e.g. during a fire in the ware
house, decomposition products like carbon oxide may be released due to the low content of organic
compounds.
Hazardous thermal decomposition products: Decomposition products may include the following
materials:, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective
equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive
pressure mode.
6. Accidental release measures
Methods for cleaning up
Small spill: Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled waste container.
7. Handling and storage
Handling: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8). Workers should wash
hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Do not ingest. If during normal use the material
presents a respiratory hazard, use only with adequate ventilation or wear appropriate respirator.
Storage: Store in original container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated
area, away from incompatible materials (see section 10) and food and drink.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has not adopted specific occupational
exposure standards for fiber glass. Fiber glass is treated as a nuisance dust and is regulated by
OSHA as a particulate not otherwise regulated (total dust) shown in CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-
3.Respirable fraction 5 mg/m3Total dust 15 mg/m3
JM has adopted the fiber glass industry voluntary Product Stewardship Program (PSP), formerly the
NAIMA-OSHA Health and Safety Partnership Program (HSPP). Under the PSP, JM recommends that
exposures be limited to the voluntary concentration of 1 f/cc TWA for fibers longer than 5 microns with
a diameter less than 3 microns. This will help minimize potential irritation effects. The PSP also
includes the PPE recommendations described below.
Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products,
before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Personal protection
Respiratory: Use appropriate respiratory protection if there is a risk of exceeding any exposure limits.
Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the
product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Hands: Gloves (protection against mechanical abrasion)
Eyes: safety glasses with side-shields
Skin: Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.

Polyisocyanurate Foam: There is no evidence that dust from this material causes disease in man.
There are no known animal studies ofthe chronic health effects of breathing dust from
polyisocyanurate foam. However, a subchronic inhalation study showed no adverse respiratory effects
in rats as a result of breathing 9 mg/m3 of dust from a similar foam (polyurethane foam) for 3 months
(Thyssen et al., 1978). In 1987, IARC designated polyurethane as Group 3, not classifiable as to
carcinogenicity to humans (Monograph 19).
