Inhalation Safety for Fiberglass Dust

This document provides a material safety data sheet for various fiberglass products including surface veil, woven roving, combi mat, and roving. It lists the products as being composed primarily of fibrous glass, which is not considered hazardous in its natural state. Inhalation of fibrous glass dust can cause temporary mechanical irritation of the respiratory tract. Protective equipment such as respirators and eye protection is recommended, as well as good ventilation, to minimize exposure. Skin contact may also cause temporary irritation but this diminishes with exposure. The products do not pose significant health risks when handled properly.

SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE: IN ANY SUSTAINED FIRE, WEAR SELF-CONTAINED

BREATHING APPARATUS.

USAUL FIRE HAZARDS: IN A SUSTAINED FIRE, COMBUSTIBLE DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS MAY

BE RELEASED, THESE PRODUCTS INCLUDE CARBON DIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE AND LOW

MELOCULAR WEIGHT HYDROCARBONS.

SECTION 6-HEALTH HAZARD DATA


POTENTIAL ROUTES OF ENTRY: INHALATION, SKIN CONTACT.
EFFECTIVE OF OVEREXPOSURE: DIRECT SKIN CONTACT WITH FIBROUS GLASS OR ITS
DUST MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION AND TRANSITORY DERMATITIS, BREATHING OF

FIBERS OR DUST MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION OF THE MOUTH, NOSE AND THROAT,

TEXTILE SIZING NORMALLY BURNS OFF OF THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS FIBER THE FIRST TIME

THE PRODUCT IS HEATED TO ABOUT 400F; IF THIS OCCURS WITH INADEQUATE VENTILATION,

SOME SMOKE MAY ACCUMULATE CAUSING TEMPORARY IRRITATION OF THE EYES, NOSE AND

THROAT.

EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURE:


INHALATION: MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
INGESTION: NOT LIKELY TO OCCUR THROUGH NORMAL USE, SHOULD INGESTION
OCCUR SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYES: FLUSH WITH FLOWING WATER FOR 15 MINUTES-SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN: FLUSH WITH AMPLE COOL WATER FOLLOWED BY WASHING WITH MILD SOAP
TO REMOVE ACCUMULATE FIBERS.
CARCINOGEN: NOT CLASSIFIED AS REGULATED UNDER ACGIH, IARC,NTP OR OSHA,
INDUSTRY STUDIES HAVE SHOWN TEXTILE GRADE FIBROUS GLASS TO BE A
NON-CARCINOGEN.
SECTION 7- SPECIAL PROTECTION REQUIRED
EXPOSURE TO FIBROUS GLASS MAY CAUSE MECHANICAL IRRITATION TO THE
SKIN,EYES,NOSE AND THROAT, TYPICALLY SUCH IRRITATION OCCURS TO NEWLY
EXPOSED INDIVIDUALS, AND USUALLY DIMINISHES AFTER SEVERAL DAY OF
EXPOSURE.
RESPIRATORY: IF AIRBRONE FIBROUS GLASS EXCEED THE REGULATORY LMITS, OR
IF UPPER RESPIRATORY IRRITATION OCCURS, USE A RESPIRATOR DESIGNED FOR
NUISANCE TYPE DUST.
VENTILATION: NORMAL AREA VENTILATION IS SUFFICIENT IN MOST CASES TO
KEEP DUST AND FIBER LEVELS BELOW THE TLE OR PEL.

2
SKIN: BARRIER CREAMS, GLOVES, AND LONG SLEEVE LOOSE FILTING CLOTHING
AMY BE REQUIRED FOR CERTAIN WORKERS WHO HAVE SENSITIVE.
SKIN OR CONTACT DERMATITIS, WORK CLOTHING SHOULD BE LAUNDERED
SEPARATELY FROM OTHER CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
EYE: NOT NORMALLY REQUIRED, BUT AS A GOOD AFETY WORE PRACTICE, SUGGEST
THE WEARING OF APPROPRIATE EYE PROTECTION SUCH AS SAFETY GLASSES/SIDE
SHIELDS OR EQUIVALENT WHENEVER USE OF THE PRODUCT RELEASES, AIRBORNE
FIBROUS GLASS.
OTHER: OBSERVE GOOD PERSONAL HYGIENE.
