3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
With regard to their composition, these products are articles and not classified as hazardous according to
European Directive 67/548/EEC and 99/45/EC and ST/SG/AC.10/30/Rev.2 and their latest amendments.
Glass Fiber products do not contain hazardous substances which can be released under normal or
reasonably foreseeable conditions
GHS Classification
Not classified.
Routes of Entry
Ingestion, inhalation, skin and eye contact
Health Effects
Ingestion: Ingestion of the material is unlikely. However, ingestion of the material may cause
gastrointestinal disturbance.
Inhalation: Breathing fiberglass dusts and particulates may cause irritation of the nose, throat and
respiratory tract.
Skin contact: Fiberglass dusts and particulates may cause temporary irritation.
Eye contact: Fiberglass dusts and particulates may cause temporary irritation to the eyes.
Environmental Effects
Long-term exposure to fiberglass environment may cause temporary effects.
Inflammation and Explosion Hazards
No information available.
4 FIRST-AID MEASURES
Ingestion:
Normally, ingestion of this material is unlikely. If it does occur, watch the person for several days to make
sure that gastrointestinal disturbance does not occur. Do not let the person vomit unless required by
medical personnel. If disturbance persists, get medical help.
Inhalation:
If inhaled, immediately remove the affected person to fresh air. If irritation persists, get medical help.
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.
5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Classification
Continuous glass fiber products are neither flammable nor incombustible. Only the sizing and the packing
materials are combustible and could release small quantities of hazardous gas in case of major and
prolonged heat or fire
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.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes.
Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for Clean-up:
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 can not be easily removed after it is waterborne. However, the material
is non-hazardous in water.
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 the product in its packaging until use to minimize potential dust generation.
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Continuous glass fibers are not respirable. However, certain mechanical processes might generate
airborne dust or fibers. The occupational exposure limits below mentioned are applicable to airborne fiber
exposure and/or to dust exposure.
Exposure limits
NOTE: The user of continuous glass fibers products has to comply with the national regulations on
occupational health protection. Occupational exposure limit values in some European countries are
illustrated as below. (8-hour work day)

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 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

10 STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: This is a Stable material.
Materials to Avoid None.
Conditions to avoid None.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Toxicity None.
Local Effects:
Dusts and fibers may cause irritation to eyes and skin. The irritation disappears when the exposure ceases.
Inhalation may cause coughing, nose and throat irritation and sneezing. High exposures may cause difficult
breathing, chest distress and congestion.
Mechanical irritation is not considered as a health hazard under the European directive 76/548/EC on
hazardous substances. It is required to classify continuous glass fibers as an irritant under the European
directive 97/69/EC.
Long Term Health Effects:
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), agency of the World Health Organization (WHO),
has determined that glass fiber is a non-carcinogenic material because the evidence is inadequate to prove
that glass fiber can cause humans and experimental animals to develop cancer.
Continuous 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.
Continuous glass fibers are not carcinogenic. (See section 15)
12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Glass fiber products are not listed as a material harmful to animals, plants and fish. No specific data
available for glass fiber products at present.
13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
RCRA Hazard class Non-hazardous. European code number for waste is 101103.
Disposal Instructions Dispose waste material according to local environmental regulations.

15 REGULATORY INFORMATION
This product is not hazardous according to European Directive 99/45/EC, 67/548/EEC and their latest
amendments.
Information on Non-carcinogenicity:
According to EU Directives, the continuous glass fibers in these products are not classified as carcinogenic.
Continuous glass fibers are not within the scope of Amendment 97/69/EC of Directive
67/548/EEC since they are not fibers with random orientation II.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) categorized continuous glass fiber as not
classifiable with respect to human carcinogenicity (Group 3) in June1987 and October 2001,. The evidence
from human, as well as, animal studies was evaluated by IARC as insufficient to classify continuous glass
fiber as a confirmed, probable or even possible cancer causing material.
