OCCM10002 – Continuous Filament Glass Fiber
Products: Chopped Strands Mat, Continuous Filament
Mat
Revision Date 09-Jun-2020
CFGF products are made of glass which is given a specific shape (filament) and dimension (filament diameter). A surface
treatment (sizing) is applied to the filaments which are gathered to form a strand. The strand is further processed into a specific
product design according to the downstream use of the article. The sizing is a mixture of chemicals, i.e. coupling agent, film former
and polymeric resin/emulsion. The sizing content is usually below 3%
For Chopped Strand Mat (CSM) and Continuous Filament Mat (CFM) products, a binder is applied in a secondary step to form the
mat. The binder is a mixture of polymeric resin and surfactant. The content of sizing and binder is usually below 15% of the product
weight
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Description of First Aid Measures
Eye contact DO NOT rub or scratch eyes
Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing, remove any contact lenses and
continue flushing for at least 15 minutes
If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention
Skin contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of cold water
DO NOT use warm water because this will open up the pores of the skin, which will cause
further penetration of fibers and dust
DO NOT rub or scratch affected area
Use a wash cloth to help remove fibers and dust
If fibers are seen penetrating from the skin, the fibers can be removed by applying and
removing adhesive tape so that the fibers adhere to the tape and are pulled out of the skin
If skin irritation persists, call a physician
Inhalation Move victim to fresh air
If symptoms persist, call a physician
Ingestion Rinse mouth with water and drink water to remove fibers from the throat
If symptoms persist, call a physician
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable properties Continuous Filament Glass Fiber products are not flammable, are incombustible and do
not support combustion. Only the organic part is combustible and could release small
quantities of undetermined hazardous substances in case of major and prolonged heat or
fire
Suitable extinguishing media Use CO2, dry chemical, or foam
Water spray or fog
Protective equipment and
precautions for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full fire-fighting
protective gear
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions Avoid contact with eyes and skin
Avoid creating dust
Use personal protections recommended in Section 8
Methods for cleaning up Avoid dry sweeping
Avoid creating dust
Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate containers for disposal
Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers
Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency filter to clean up dust and fiber
contamination
After cleaning, flush away traces with water

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Product Information Dusts and fibers may cause temporary skin and mucous membranes itching due to
mechanical abrasion effect of fibers. Mechanical abrasion is not considered as a health
hazard in the meaning of the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and
Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Inhalation may cause coughing, nose and throat irritation and
sneezing. High exposures may cause difficult breathing, congestion and chest tightness
Continuous filament glass fibers are not respirable according to the World Health
Organization (WHO) definition. Respirable fibers have a diameter (d) smaller than 3 m, a
length (l) larger than 5 m and a l/d-ratio larger than or equal to 3. Fibers with diameters
greater than 3 microns, which is the case for continuous filament glass fiber, do not reach
the lower respiratory tract and, therefore have no possibility of causing serious pulmonary
disease. Continuous filament glass fibers do not possess cleavage planes which would
allow them to split length-wise into fibers with smaller diameters, rather they break across
the fiber, resulting in fibers which are of the same diameter as the original fiber with a
shorter length and a small amount of dust. Microscopic examination of dust from highly
chopped and pulverised glass demonstrated the presence of small amounts of respirable
dust particles. Among these respirable particles, some were fiber-like in terms of l/d ratio
(so-called shards ). It can be clearly observed however that they are not regular shaped
fibers but irregular shaped particles with fiber-like dimensions. To the best of our
knowledge, the exposure levels of these fiber-like dust particles measured at our
manufacturing plants are of the order of magnitude between 50 to 1000 below existing
applicable limits
ACGIH (American Conference of
Governmental Industrial Hygienists)
Continuous filament glass fibers are classified as A4 – Not Classifiable as a Human
Carcinogen
IARC (International Agency for
Research on Cancer)
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in June, 1987, and in October,
2001 (see IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of Carcinogenic risks to humans
Man-made Vitreous Fibers Volume 81), categorized continuous filament fiber glass as not
classifiable with respect to human carcinogenicity (Group 3). The evidence from human as
well as animal studies was evaluated by IARC as insufficient to classify continuous filament
glass fiber as a confirmed, probable or even possible cancer-causing material
NTP (National Toxicology Program)Continuous filament glass fibers are not listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP)
Report on Carcinogens (latest edition)
OSHA (Occupational Safety and
Health Administration of the US

airborne dust or fiber (See section 11).
8.1. Engineering Measures:
Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL)
Fiber Glass Continuous Filament (65997-17-3)
The American Conference of Governmental Hygienists has adopted a Threshold Limit Value (TLV) for fibrous
dust of 15mg/m (total) and 5mg/m (respirable). 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).
Respirable fraction: 1 fiber/cc (related to respirable particulate with fiber-like dimensions (glass shards)
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 filter.
8.3. Skin Protect: Skin irritation is known to occur chiefly at the pressure points such as around the neck, wrists,
and waist and between the fingers. Long-sleeved garments and long leggings are recommended to prevent irritation
Wear protective gloves (nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, PVC, Viton ).
8.4. Eye Protect: Wear safety glasses with side-shields.

11. Toxicological Information
Glass fibers Short term effects:
Dusts and fibers may cause mechanical irritation to eyes and skin. The irritation disappears when the exposure
ceases. Mechanical irritation is not considered as a health hazard in the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
on hazardous substance. Continous filament glass fibers do not require a classification as an irritant (Xi) under the
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Inhalation may cause coughing, nose and throat irritation and sneezing. High
exposures may cause difficult breathing, congestion and chest tightness.
Glass fibers Long term effects:
There are no known health effects from the long term use or contact with non-respirable continuous filament fibers.
Non-respirable fibers cannot reach the deep lung because they have a diameter of greater than 3.5 micrometers.
Fibers of this diameter cannot penetrate the narrow, bending passages of the human respiratory tract to reach the
lower regions of the lung and thus, have no possibility of causing serious pulmonary damage. Instead, they deposit
on the surfaces of the upper respiratory tract, nose, or pharynx. These fibers are then cleared through normal
physiological mechanisms.
Powder effects: When used and handled according to specifications, the product does not have any harmful effects
according to our experience and the information provided to us.

11. Toxicological Information
Glass fibers Short term effects:
Dusts and fibers may cause mechanical irritation to eyes and skin. The irritation disappears when the exposure
ceases. Mechanical irritation is not considered as a health hazard in the meaning of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
on hazardous substance. Continous filament glass fibers do not require a classification as an irritant (Xi) under the
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Inhalation may cause coughing, nose and throat irritation and sneezing. High
exposures may cause difficult breathing, congestion and chest tightness.
Glass fibers Long term effects:
There are no known health effects from the long term use or contact with non-respirable continuous filament fibers.
Non-respirable fibers cannot reach the deep lung because they have a diameter of greater than 3.5 micrometers.
Fibers of this diameter cannot penetrate the narrow, bending passages of the human respiratory tract to reach the
lower regions of the lung and thus, have no possibility of causing serious pulmonary damage. Instead, they deposit
on the surfaces of the upper respiratory tract, nose, or pharynx. These fibers are then cleared through normal
physiological mechanisms.
Powder effects: When used and handled according to specifications, the product does not have any harmful effects
according to our experience and the information provided to us.
