MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 3: Hazards Identification Appearance and Odor: White/off-white colored solid with no odor. Emergency Overview No unusual conditions are expected from this product Primary Route(s) of Exposure: inhalation, skin, eye Potential Health Effects: ACUTE (short term): Fiberglass continuous filament is a mechanical irritant. Breathing dusts and fibers may cause short-term irritation of the mouth, nose and throat. Skin contact with dust and fibers may cause itching and short-term irritation. Eye contact with dust and fibers may cause short-term mechanical...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 4: First Aid Measures Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Eye Contact: Flush eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. 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 skin. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If it does occur, watch the...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Releases of this product to the land, water and air may require reporting to federal, state or local authorities. Land Spill: Scoop up material and put into suitable container for disposal as a non-hazardous waste. Water Spill: 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. Air Release: This material will settle out of the air. If concentrated on land it can then be scooped up for disposal as a...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 8: Exposure Controls and Personal Protection Ingredient - Respirable particulate with fiber likedimensions (glass shards) None Established 1 fiber/cc aspect ratio >5:1 None Established None Established Fiberglass Continuous Filament: - Nonrespirable fibers and particulate - Respirable particulate PNOC = Particles not otherwise classified As manufactured continuous filament glass fibers are not respirable. Continuous filament glass products that are chopped, crushed, or severely mechanically processed during manufacturing or use may contain a very small...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Skin Protection: Loose fitting long sleeved shirt that covers to the base of the neck, long pants and gloves. Skin irritation is known to occur chiefly at pressure points such as around neck, wrist, waist, and between fingers. Eye Protection: Safety glasses, goggles or face shield. Work and Hygienic Practices: Handle using good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Avoid unnecessary exposures by using adequate local exhaust ventilation. Remove material from the skin and eyes after contact. Remove material from clothing using vacuum equipment (never use...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 10: Stability and Reactivity General: Stable Incompatible Materials and Conditions to Avoid: None Hazardous Decomposition Products: Sizings or binders may decompose in a fire. See Section 5 of MSDS for combustion products statement. Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur. Section 11: Toxicological Information CARCINOGENICITY: The table below indicates whether or not each agency has listed each ingredient as a carcinogen: Ingredient ACGIH IARC NTP QSHA 97/69/EC ACGIH: A4 Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen IARC 3: Not Classifiable with respect to Human...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET LD50 Oral (g/kg) Fiberglass Continuous Filament (a) Fiberglass Continuous Filament: The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in June, 1987, categorized fiberglass 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 fiberglass continuous filament as a possible, probable, or confirmed cancer causing material. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) A4 classification, not classifiable as a...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET About 23% of the rats (n=43) exposed to 1022 f/cc for 5 hrs/day, 7 days/week for 52 weeks developed lung tumors (adenoma and carcinoma). Five percent (5%) of the unexposed control group (n=38) developed lung tumors (adenoma and carcinoma). Five percent (5%) of the rats in the exposed group developed mesothelioma and 12.5% developed advanced fibrosis. None of the rats in the unexposed control group developed mesothelioma and 0.6 % developed advanced fibrosis. A second group of rats was exposed to a similar concentration of asbestos (respirable amosite fibers) for 5...
