Air release: This material will settle out of air. If concentrated on land it can
then be scooped up or disposed of as a non-hazardous waste.
Land spill: Scoop up material for disposal as non-hazardous waste.
Dispose of as solid waste in accordance with Local, State, and
federal Government regulations.
Water spill: This material will sink and disperse along the bottom of
waterways and ponds. It cannot be easily removed after it is
waterborne, however, the material is non-hazardous on 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 unnecessary personnel away.
Special Procedures: None

Handling procedures:
In accordance with good working practices keep the product in its package if it is practical to minimise
potential dust generation. Keep the work areas clean.

Storage procedures:
Store in a cool and dark space. Low humidity is recommended.

Exposure limits: The American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) has adopted a
threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 5mg/m
3
for 8-hour time weighted average
(TWA) exposure for fibrous glass dust, invaluable fraction.
The occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not prescribe
Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for fibrous glass but relies on the PEL-
TWAs for nuisance dust of 15 mg/m
3
(total) and 5 mg/m
3
(respirable).
Available air sampling / analytical methods:
Gravimetric total dusts NIOSH Sampling and Analytical Method 0500; the
Gravimetric respirable dusts NOISH method 0600 and the NIOSH 7400, B
fibre counting rules. The latter two methods may be performed as redundant
verification that there are no respirable glass fibres.
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation (if needed) to minimise airborne dust levels. Filter in
ventilation is requested to prevent dust and fly from being discharged into
open air.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Material Safety Data Sheet

Page 5 of 6 Revision Date: April 2023

Factors in the fibre toxicity include fibre dimensions and degree of exposure.
Fibre dimensions
Fibres are either non-respirable or respirable. Respirable fibres can penetrate to the deep lung area.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) man-made mineral fibres with diameters equal to or
greater than 3 microns are non-respirable. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) fibres with diameters equal to or greater than 3.5 microns are non-respirable. The narrow
bending passages of the human respiratory system do not permit the relativity large non-respirable fibres to
enter the deep lung area. Instead, they stride the surfaces of the upper respiratory tract, nose or pharynx
and stop. Nasal hairs or other natural mechanisms may then filter them.
Due to the manufacturing process used products have diameters greater than 3.5 microns and are non-
respirable. The fibres do not become respirable fibres upon the machine/sanding processing activities
typical of our customers. Upon breakage the fibres may break horizontally into smaller lengths but not
longitudinally into smaller diameters. As with any sanding/grinding activity respirable dust may be
generated.

Flax is generally considered to be an inert solid waste and no special precautions are required in case it is
released or spilled. These products do not contain nor are manufactured with class 1 or class 11 ozone
depleting chemicals (CFCs) identified in the Clean Air Act Amendment, 1990 List of Ozone Depleting
Chemicals.

Disposal Instructions:
Flax is considered non-hazardous as per EPA, RCRA, 40CFR, PART 361, 1990 and considered as an inert
solid waste. Local, State and National Regulations should be consulted to ensure proper disposal
procedures. Fibreglass products that are part of a reinforced plastic or uncured resin system, must be
disposed of in accordance with applicable requirements.
Not regulated by the Department of Transportation (DOT).
No other special precautions required.

Exposure limits : The American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) has adopted a
Threshold Limit Value (TLV) of 5mg/m
3
for 8-hour time weighted average
(TWA) exposure for the fibrous glass dust, invaluable fraction.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) does not
prescribe Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for fibrous glass but relies on the
PEL-TWAs for nuisance dust 15 mg/m
3
(total) and 5 mg/m
3
(respirable).
Available air sampling / analytical methods:
Gravimetric total dusts NIOSH sampling & analytical method 0500; the
gravimetric respirable dusts NIOSH method 0600 and the NIOSH 7400, B
fibre counting rules. The latter two methods may be performed as redundant
verification that there are no respirable glass fibres.
Ventilation: Local exhaust ventilation (if needed) to minimise airborne dust levels. Filter in
ventilation is requested to prevent dust and fly from being discharged into
open air.
Engineering controls: Not applicable
Personal protection: Respiratory protection some application of these products may not require
respiratory protection, however, if airborne fibrous glass concentrations
exceed regulatory limits respiratory protection apparatus for nuisance dusts is

Degree of exposure
According to Johnson ET. Al. in a 1969 US study of four fibrous glass production plants, it was stated, as
the results in terms of airborne concentrations of fibreglass and total dust would indicate that the
workmen s exposure to these materials is negligible .
Carcinogenicity
Fibreglass continuous filament
The international Agency of Research on cancer (IARC) is part of the World Health Organisation. IARC
concludes that fibreglass continuous filaments are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity in human
(group 3) because there is inadequate evidence on the carcinogenicity of these materials in humans or
experimental animals.
In a 1987 European study (over 20 years latency) there was no excess of respiratory cancer found. In both
studies there was no increasing trend with an estimated time-weighted measure of exposure. In a study of
administering large diameter glass filament (<3 microns) intraperitoneal to rats, no statistically significant tumour response was found. The American Conference of Governmental Hygienist (ACGIH) gives continuous filament fibreglass an (A4) designation meaning Not classifiable as a human carcinogen . SECTION 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Material Safety Data Sheet Page 6 of 8 Revision Date: April 2023 Continuous filament fibreglass is not listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) 7th Annual Report on carcinogens, nor it is regulated by OSHA as a carcinogen.
