3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
The product is stable and not flammable under normal industrial conditions.
Continuous exposure of glassfiber filaments may sometimes cause irritation of the skin and less
frequently, of the eyes, nose or respiratory tract.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Special instructions
Immediate medical attention is not required.
Inhalation
Move patient to fresh air. If persistingly irritant seek medical attention.
Skin contact
Wash with cool water and mild soap. If fiberglass becomes embedded or causes cut wounds seek
medical attention.
Eye contact
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of running water, also under eyelids, for at least 15 min, seek medical
attention.

Seek medical attention.
Information to doctor or other trained persons giving first aid
Skin irritation responds well to mild hydrocortisone cream.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
Water, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical and foam.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
N/A
Special exposure hazards in a fire
Small amount of gases, like CO, CO 2 and H2 are released at decomposition of sizing and binder. Other
undetermined compounds may also release in very small quantities
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
In a sustained fire self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be worn.
Other instructions
Large part of the product consist of E-glass which does not burn.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
See Chapter 8.
Environmental precautions
Glassfibre is considered as inert industrial waste and no special enviromental precautions are required.
Methods for cleaning up
Dispose of as a solid waste in accordance with government regulations. Avoid creating of excessive
dust.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Normal care to be taken.
Storage
Products should be stored at temperatures 15-35 C and at relative humidity below 75% in their original
packages to maintain the original properties of the product.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Occupational exposure controls
OSHA (8 hr TWA) 15 mg/m
3
(total dust), 5 mg/m
3
(respirable dust)
ACGIH TLV (8 hr TWA) 5 mg/m
3
(inhalable fraction)
Respiratory protection
None normally required, can be used for convinience when work place ventilation is limited.
Hand protection
Use of protective gloves or barrier creams to prevent skin irritation.
Eye protection
Use safety glasses with side shields if airborne glassfibre concentration exceeds nuisance level.
Skin protection
Use lightweight protective clothing to minimize skin irritation.
Environmental exposure controls
No special environmental precautions required.
9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
General information (physical state, colour and odour)
Yellow-white to white, solid E-glass with organic sizing-chemicals, no odour.
Fibre diameter
Glassfibre filaments have diameters in the range of 9 25 m, depending on product. The filaments will
not subdivide into fibrils of smaller diameter.

Conditions to avoid
High humidity and temperature may affect properties of the product.
Materials to avoid
Wet product loses partly its strength and becomes unusable but is not hazardous.
Hazardous decomposition products
The product starts to decompose gradually at temperatures above 220 C when also small amounts of
gases (like carbon oxides and hydrogen) are released.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute toxicity
N/A
Irritation and corrosiveness
Mechanical irritation.
Empirical data on effects on humans
–
Other information on health effects
Not carcinogenic (NTP, IARC, OSHA). Long term use or contact with nonrespirable continuous
glassfibres is not known to affect health. Nonrespirable glassfibres are not able to reach the deep lugn
due to their diameter which is greater than 3.5 m. They may deposit on the surface of the upper
respiratory tract or nose and they are cleared through nomal physiological mechanisms.
Continuous filament glassfibres that are chopped, crushed or severely mechanically processed during
use, however, may contain a very small amount of respirable particles.

2 Hazards Identification
THIS PRODUCT WHEN SOLD IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS A HAZAR DOUS CHEMICAL PER OSHA HCS-2012 .
However, when subject to machining or processing methods under normal condition of use, the release of wood
dust may pose some hazards if work is not performed under good industrial and safety practices. Risks of exposure
from these chemicals are specified below in line with the OSHA HCS classification.
DANGER!
– May cause an allergic skin reaction.
– May cause allergy or asthma symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled.
– May cause respiratory irritation.
– May cause cancer.
– Causes damage to respiratory system through prolonged or repeated exposure.
– May form combustible dust in the air.
Precautionary statements: – Do not breathe dust.
– Use only in a well-ventilated area.
– Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection.
– In case of inadequate ventilation, wear respira tory protection.
– Keep away from open flames and other ignition sources.
First aid: If experiencing respiratory symptoms, get medical attention.
If skin irritation or rash occurs get medical advice.

6 Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: No special measures required.
Clean up methods and materials: Vacuum or sweep up material.
5 Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Water, foam, carbon dioxide or dry chemical fire extinguishers.
Specific hazards: Formation of toxic gases will occur during a fire. Combustion by-product
include but are not limited to carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide.
Protective equipment: Wear fully protective suit with self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
with a face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
4 First-Aid Measures
Eye contact: If dust particles become lodged in eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water. If symptoms
persist, consult a physician.
Skin contact: No need for specific measures.
Ingestion: In case of persistent symptoms, consult a physician.
Inhalation: If affected by dust, remove individual to fresh air. If condition persists, consult a physician.
Most important symptoms/effects: Upper respiratory system irritation.
Immediate medical attention and special treatment: No special requirements.
