SECTION 1: PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
Product Name: BH ?ThermFlex Manufacturer:
1210? Federal-Mogul Corporation
26555 Northwestern Highway
Southfield, MI 48033
MSDS# BH-112 24hr Emerg # (Infotrac): 1-800-535-5053
International: 001-352-323-3500
Non-Emerg #: 248-354-9844
SECTION 2: COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS
BH ?ThermFlex 1210?is a heat treated and saturated sleeving material that provides superior protection
against conducted and convected heat. Constructed of braided fiberglass, ThermFlex 1210 is used to
protect components in high temperature areas and insulate components that must maintain elevated
temperatures to maximize performance. Typical applications include EGR tubes, exhaust system
components, wire harnesses, hoses, and fuel and hydraulic lines.
Although several of the ingredients used to formulate this product may be hazardous in the raw state, the
manufacturing process results in a solid, infusible form, binding and otherwise, rendering the product inert.
The constituents identified below may be present in quantities greater than 1% (0.1% for carcinogens) that
may be released from the product by such operations as overheating, burning, machining, abrading, or
riveting.
The information in this document provides the minimum criteria for safe usage and handling of this product.
Companies using this product should develop their own occupational health program to protect employees
from injury or adverse health effects.

Symptoms and Effects of Exposure to Selected Individual Components
CONTINUOUS FILAMENT GLASS FIBERS
Acute - May cause irritation to skin, eyes, nose, and throat. May cause skin rash, conjunctivitis, coughing
and sneezing.
Chronic ?Although some studies of fibrous and mineral wool workers have shown a link to lung cancer in
humans, those studies have clearly provided no evidence of a link between lung cancer and continuous
filament fiberglass exposure.
