Material Safety Data Sheet
Page 3 of 6 Revision Date: April 2023
Fire Fighting Instructions:
In any sustained fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and a full bunker turnout gear. Every
company should have written Fire Evacuation Policy including training that complies to government
regulations.
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.

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
recommended.
Skin / Eye protection - good personal hygiene and the use of barrier creams,
caps, protective gloves, cotton coveralls, or long-sleeved loose-fitting clothing
will maximise comfort. Vacuum equipment may be used to remove fibres from
clothes. Work clothing should be laundered separately to other clothing.
When there is a chance of airborne glass fibres contacting eyes, wear
appropriate eye protection such as safety glasses with side shields.

SECTION 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
SECTION 10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
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.
Basalt 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:
Basalt 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. 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.
