Page 4 of 12
Number： Q/JS J0520-2014
Response： IF ON 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.
IF IN EYE: Immediately flush eyes with clean water for at least 15
minutes. If irritation persists, get medical help.
If inhalation occurs: immediately remove the affected person to fresh
air. If irritation persists, get medical help.
If ingestion occurs: 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.
This product is no classified hazardous according to European RegulationNo.1272/2008.
This section identifies the potential hazards related to the article i.e. its shape, its
dimensions and other physical characteristics.

Sizing: N/A
Page 5 of 12
Number： Q/JS J0520-2014
Sizing :
Sizing is a mixture of chemicals applied to the strand surface. It mainly consists of
high-molecular polymers of no reactivity (usually natural ingredients, such as starch)
which are not listed in the appendices of EINECS or ELINCS.
In some cases, sizing maybe also contain substances of organic-silane family or other
substances. The manufacturer considers this risk as negligible as, even though listed as
hazardous substance, their concentration is extremely low (under 0.1% of total weight)
and they are polymerised during the production of glass fibers.
SECTION 4 – FIRST-AID MEASURES
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 glass fiber to
penetrate deeper. If glass fiber penetrates the skin, use a wash cloth to help pull out the
glass fiber. Do not rub or scratch affected skin to any further any further deterioration.
Please go to a doctor if irritation increases. Make sure to refrain from using compressed
air to remove glass fiber from skin.
Eye Contact:
Immediately flush eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Please go to a doctor if
irritation increases.
Inhalation:
Immediately move to fresh air. Please go to a doctor if irritation increases.
Ingestion:
Normally, ingestion is less than likely. If it does occur, keep the person under observation
for several days to make sure that no gastrointestinal disturbance occurs. Do not induce
vomiting unless required by medical staff. Please go to a doctor if irritation increases.
SECTION 5 – FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
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.
Page 6 of 12
Number： Q/JS J0520-2014
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 should use self-contained breathing apparatus and wear full protective gear.
SECTION 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:
Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.
Avoid dry sweeping.
Shovel the major part of spilled material into a container.
Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency filter to clean up dust and
residual spilled material.
After vacuum cleaning, flush away with water.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling:
Try to prevent the packing material from being damaged and keep the product inside the
packing material to minimize the generation of dusts. Maintain a clean work environment
and avoid generation of glass fiber fragments from improper handling.
Storage:
Keep the product in its packaging until use to minimize potential dust generation.
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Continuous glass fibers are not respirable. However, certain mechanical processes
Page 7 of 12

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Toxicity：
Page 9 of 12
Number： Q/JS J0520-2014
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)
SECTION 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.
SECTION 13 – DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
RCRA Hazard Class:
Non-Hazardous.
European code number for waste is 101103.
Disposal Instructions:
Dispose waste materials as per local environmental regulations.

DECTION 14 – TRANSPORT INFORMATION
IMDG/IM – RID – ADR – ICAO – IATA – DOT – TDG – MEX
Not regulated
Transport Instructions:
Rolling and moisture should be avoided in transit.
SECTION 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”.
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.
