Fiber glass: 659997-17-3
Size: Not available.
Size:
Size is a mixture of chemicals applied to the glass strands. Most of this mixture is made up of basically
non-reactive high molecular weight polymers, often natural ingredients(starches) with no reactive sites, which
are not listed as substances in the EINECS nor in the ELINCS appendices.
Sometimes size maybe also contain substances of organo-silane family or other substances. The manufacturer
considers this risk as negligible as, even though listed as dangerous products, the concentration is extremely
low(under 0.1% of total weight) and they are polymerised during the production of glass fibers production.
SECTION 4: First aid measures
4.1. Description of first aid measures
Inhalation
IF INHALED: Remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Get medical
advice/attention if you feel unwell.
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.
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.
4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Ingestion: Ingestion of the material is unlikely. However, ingestion of the material may cause gastrointestinal
disturbance.
