Potential Health Effects | |
| Eye Contact: | May cause mechanical irritation to the eyes. |
| Skin Contact: | May cause mechanical irritation to the skin and possible dermatitis. |
| Inhalation: | May cause mechanical irritation of the upper respiratory tract. |
| Ingestion: | Very unlikely. If a large amount is swallowed, seek medical attention. |
| Repeated Exposure: | Chronic respiratory or skin conditions that are aggravated by mechanical irritants may be at increased risk from exposure to this product. |
| Cancer Information: | None of the components present in this material at concentrations equal to or greater than 0.1% are listed or regulated by NTP, OSHA or ACGIH as a carcinogen, but Glass Filament is listed by IARC as Group 3 (not classifiable as to a human carcinogen). |

Section 4 - First-Aid Measures |
| Eye Contact: In case of eye contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, keeping the eyelids open. Get medical attention. |
| Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately wash skin with mild soap and room temperature to cool running water. Use a wash cloth to help remove the fibers. To avoid further irritation, do not rub or scratch irritated areas. Rubbing or scratching may force fibers into the skin. Get medical attention if the irritation persists. |
| Inhalation: If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth. If breathing is difficult, qualified personnel may administer oxygen. Get medical attention. |
| Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If swallowed, get medical attention immediately. |
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures |
| Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical or CO2 to extinguish fires. |
| Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Avoid exposure through use of a self-contained, positive-pressure breathing apparatus. |
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures |
| Steps to be Taken if Material is Released or Spilled: |
| Personal Precautions: |
| Environmental Precautions: |
Section 7 - Handling and Storage |

Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection | ||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Personal Protection | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Eye/Face Protection: Avoid eye contact. Wear coverall goggles, as necessary, to prevent irritation, if airborne dust or fibers are present. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Skin Protection: Wear protective clothing such as loose fitting, long sleeved shirt that covers to the base of the neck, long pants and gloves, as necessary, to prevent irritation. Skin irritation is known to occur primarily at pressure points such as arround the neck, wrist, waist and between the fingers. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Respiratory Protection: Not ordinarily required. If sufficient dust or fibers are generated during use of the product, use a NIOSH approved dust respirator. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Hygenic Measures: Before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities, wash face and hands thoroughly with soap and water. Remove any contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Use vaccum equipment to remove fibers and dust from clothing and work areas. Compressed air is not recommended. | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust sufficient to control fibers or dust generated. If exhaust ventilation is not available or is inadequate, use a NIOSH approved dust respirator. | ||||||||||||||||||||
Section 9 - Physical and Chemical Properties | |
