2. Composition/Informat on on Ingredients
Continuous and/or choped E-Glass Fiber
Nylon yarn
Polypropylene fabric
Chopped E-glass fiber is a glass product which is given a specific shape (filament) and dimension
(filament length and diameter). A surface treatment (sizing) is applied to the filament which are
gathered to form a strand. The sizing is a mixture of chemicals, i.e. film former, coupling agent and
polymeric resin/emulsion. The sizing content is usually less than or equal to 2%. METYCORE FS and
METYCORE FS Max include chopped E-glass fibers, cut polypropylene (coated for fire resistance)
monofilaments or continuous polypropylene monofilament (coated for fire resistance), and nylon
stitching yarn
3. Hazards Identifications
Under normal industrial conditions, product is not flammable and has stability.
This kind of products are not significantly hazardous and are not classified as to their
carcinogenicity according to NOHSC and NTP classifing.

3.1. Skin: Directly contact with skin may cause irritation, itching, rash, swelling. Wear protective
clothes.
3.2. Eye: May cause eye irritation, rash, pain. These semptoms may continue after stop
working.This condition may be temporary but may cause permanent influence as cornea. Wear
safety glasses.
3.3. Respiratory: May cause respiratory problems. This may damage throat and lungs and cause
cough. Wear respiratory mask.
4. First Aid Measures
4.1. Inhalation: May cause respiratory problem. Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call
physician.
4.2. Skin Contact: If skin irritation does ocur, remove contaminated clothing and wash off plenty
of water min. 15 minutes without rubbing. Use a mild soap if possible. If symptoms persist, call
physician.
4.3. Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water, also under the eyelids, for at least 15
minutes without rubbing. If eye irritation persists, consult a specialist.
4.4. Ingestion: Gently wipe or rinse the inside of the mouth with water. Consult a physician if
necessary.
4.5. Additional information: Mild hirocortizon skin cream is helpfull for skin irritation.
5. Fire Fighting Measures
In case of fire, glass fibres are not flammable.
5.1. Suitable Extingusing Media: Water , carbondioxide(CO2), foam, dry chemical. Extinguishing
media for B class fire may be used.
5.2.Special Protective Clothing: In case of big fires self contained breathing apparatus must be
used ad full protective clothing mus be worn.
5.3. Additional information: Only the packaking film, polyester yarn and E-glass sizing material
are likely burn. Combustion gases are basically carbon dioxide and water vapour. There may be
small quantities of carbon monoxide and other substances which make it necessary to use
protective devices in the event of a major fire.

6. Accidental Release Measures
6.1. Personal Precautions: Provide eyewash stations. Under norma industrial conditions, this
product is not flammble and has stability. See section 8.
6.2. Enviromental Precautions: No special environmental precautions required.
6.3. Spill Clean up Methods: None.
7. Handling & Storage
7.1. Usage Precautions: Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Keep away heating
sources.
7.2. Storage Precautions: Store in original package in a cool, dry place. Packing material must be
prevented to damage during transporting and carrying. Store away from humidity and sun light.
7.3. Special Usage: Vacuum clean, sweep or shovel carefully in order to prevent dust suspension.
8. Exposure Control&Personal Protection
8.1. Engineering Measures: (ACGIH) Threshold Limiting values (TLV) 10mg/m
3
(TWA, 8
hours) inhalable fraction OSHA 5mg/m
3
(inhalable dust), 15mg/m
3
(total dust).
The fibres which have diameter less than 3 m are respirable. However, our products have
diameter more than 5 m.
8.2. Respiratory Equipment: Provide adequate ventilation to ensure that the defined workplace
exposure limit is not exceeded. If use or application generates dust, use an appropriate respirator
with a particulate fitler. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not
prescribe a Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for fibrous glass but relies on the PEL-TWA s for
nuisance dust of 15mg/m (total) and 5mg/m (respirable).
8.3. Hand Protect: Wear protective gloves. See AS 2161.
8.4. Eye Protect: Safety glasses. See AS 1336 ve AS/NZS 1337.
8.5. Other Protection: Long-sleeved garments and long leggings to prevent irritation. See AS
2919. Clean clothes prior to working
8.6. Hygiene Measures: Use vacuum cleaning for clothing and working area. Wash seperately
clothes. Throughly wash hands prior to using restroom and eating.
