SECTION 4 FIRST-AID MEASURES
Skin Contact:
If irritation occurs to the skin, rinse with soap and water. Make sure to refrain from
rinsing with warm water since warm water will make the skin pores open to allow
fiberglass to penetrate more deeply. If fiberglass penetrates the skin, use a wash cloth
to help pull out the fiberglass. To avoid further irritation, do not rub or scratch affected
skin. If irritation persists, get medical help. Make sure to refrain from using compressed
air to remove fiberglass from the skin.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get
medical help.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, immediately remove the affected person to fresh air. If irritation persists, get
medical help.
Ingestion:
Normally, ingestion of this material is unlikely. If it occurs, watch the person for several
days to make sure that gastrointestinal disturbance doesn t occur. Do not let the person
vomit unless required by medical personnel. If disturbance persists, get medical help.
SECTION 5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Classification:
Non-flammable. But the size and packing material may burn.
Hazardous Combustion Products:
Primary combustion products are carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and
water. Other undetermined compounds can be released in small quantities.
Fire-Fighting Methods:
Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide and water as extinguishing media.
Fire-Fighting Instructions:
Fire fighters must use self-contained breathing apparatus and wear full protective gear.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
In case of release to land, the material should be scooped up as waste and put into a
special container and stored in a designated area. In case of release of water, the
material will sink and disperse along the bottom of waterways or ponds and cannot be
easily removed after it is waterborne. However, the material is non-hazardous in water.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Try to prevent the packing material from be damaged and keep the product inside the
packing material to minimize the generation of dusts. Maintain a clean work environment
and avoid generation of fiberglass fragments from improper handling.
Storage:
Keep product in its packaging until use to minimize potential dust generation.
SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Highest Permissible Concentration:
National and international hygiene standards are as follows:
Component Permissible Exposure Limit
of OSHA
(8-hr Average Weight)
Permissible Exposure Limit of
ACGIH
(8 hr Average Weight)
Total Dust 15 mg/m3 10 mg/m3
Respirable particulates 5 mg/m3 3 mg/m3
Respirable Fibre / 1 fibre/ml
Engineering Control:
Production areas are closed off and a required relative humidity is maintained.
Respiratory Protection:
Wear a suitable mask when working in an environment where dust concentration is
high.

Eye Protection:
Wear safety glasses and face shield.
Body Protection:
Normal loose working clothing (long-sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended.
Skin irritation occurs primarily at the contact areas such as around the neck and waist.
Hand Protection:
Wear gloves. Skin irritation occurs primarily at the contact areas such as wrists and
between the fingers.

Will not occur.
SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Toxicity:
None.
Irritability:
Fiberglass dusts may cause irritation to skin and eye. Ingestion of fiberglass may cause
irritation to the throat, stomach and gastrointestinal tract. Inhalation may cause
coughing, sneezing and nose and throat irritation. Experience indicates that inhalation
of a large amount of fiberglass may cause difficulty in breathing, congestion and chest
tightness.
Carcinogenicity:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), agency of the World Health
Organization (WHO), has determined that fiberglass is a non-carcinogenic material
because the evidence is inadequate to prove that fiberglass can cause humans and
experimental animals to develop cancer.
