MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 4: First Aid Measures Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Skin Contact: For skin contact, wash with mild soap and cold water. Do not wash with warm water because this will open up the pores of the skin, which will cause further penetration of the fibers. 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. If irritation persists get medical attention. Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of running...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Containment Procedures: This material will settle out of air. If concentrated on land, it can be scooped up for disposal as 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 personnel away. Special Procedures: None. Section 7: Handling...

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 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). Chronic Study in Animals A laboratory test was conducted with a different product (special application glass fiber) with comparable composition and durability. Test animals breathing very high concentrations of respirable fibers on a long-term...
