inhalation, skin and eye contact, and ingestion
SKIN
Handling of this material may generate mild mechanical temporary skin irritation. If this occurs, rinse affected
areas with water and wash gently. Do not rub or scratch exposed skin.
EYES
In case of eye contact flush abundantly with water; have eye bath available. Do not rub eyes.
NOSE AND THROAT
If these become irritated move to a dust free area, drink water and blow nose.
If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
(b) Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed
Mild mechanical irritation to skin, eyes and upper respiratory system may result from exposure.
These effects are usually temporary.
(c) Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary
NOTES TO PHYSICIANS
Skin and respiratory effects are the result of temporary, mild mechanical irritation; fiber exposure does not result in
allergic manifestations.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
(a) Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media
Use extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding combustible materials.
(b) Specific hazards arising from the chemical (e.g., nature of any hazardous combustion products):
Non-combustible products, class of reaction to fire is zero.
Packaging and surrounding materials may be combustible.
Thermal decomposition of binder from fires or from first heat of product may release smoke, carbon monoxide,
and carbon dioxide. Use adequate ventilation or other precautions to eliminate exposure to vapors resulting from
thermal decomposition of binder. Exposure to thermal decomposition fumes may cause respiratory tract irritation,
bronchial hyper-reactivity or an asthmatic-type response.
(c) Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters
NFPA Codes: Flammability: 0 Health: 1 Reactivity: 0 Special: 0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
(a) Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
Minimize airborne dust. Compressed air or dry sweeping should not be used for cleaning. See Section 8
"Exposure Controls / Personal Protection" for exposure guidelines.
(b) Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Frequently clean the work area with vacuum or wet sweeping to minimize the accumulation of debris. Do not use
compressed air for clean-up.
EMPTY CONTAINERS
Product packaging may contain residue. Do not reuse.
