MSDS Number: CT 1519-22

MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: None CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: This product contains glass wool insulation fibers. Following a thorough review of all the medical-scientific data available at a meeting in October 2001, the IARC panel lowered the classification for glass wool insulation fibers from a Group 2B classification ("possibly carcinogenic to humans") to a Group 3 classification ("not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans"). IARC said that there is "no evidence of increased risks of lung cancer or of mesothelioma from occupational exposures during manufacturing of these materials, and inadequate evidence over all of any cancer risk." REPRODUCTIVE EFFECTS: None OTHER HEALTH EFFECTS: HEARING CONSERVATION: Some blowing machines used to install blown-in products create elevated sound levels which may affect workers hearing. Use of hearing protection by workers exposed above 85 dB(A) as an 8-hour TWA is recommended.

This product is considered Hazardous under 29 CFR 1910.1200 (Hazard Communication). This product may be regulated, have exposure limits or other information identified as the following: Fibrous Glass
See Section 11 for Toxicological Information

SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION: Remove to fresh air, apply artificial respiration and/or oxygen if necessary and get medical attention. SKIN: Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops or persists, seek medical attention. EYE: If irritation persists get medical attention. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with large amounts of water, continuing to flush for 15 minutes. INGESTION: Consult a physician if unusual reaction is noted. Product is not intended nor is it likely to be ingested or eaten.
See Section 2 for Potential Health Effects

SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use any media suitable for the surrounding fires UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: No data available FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fire fighters should avoid inhaling any combustion products. Firefighters should wear full-face, self contained breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Does not support combustion. These products contain a cured phenolicbased binder and various facings which contain retardant systems to reduce the possibility of fire. Use of plasma or other type of cutting tool may cause the release of toxic fumes and smoke. Facings on these products may burn. Do not leave facing exposed when working close to an open flame. If burned, the materials could release toxic fumes. HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: If burned, the materials could release toxic fumes and smoke. The binder and kraft facings combustion products include carbon-dioxide, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and molecular fragments of hydrocarbon particles, carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen and nitrogen-oxygen compounds. Comparative animal inhalation toxicity studies of combustion products on a number of CertainTeed fiber glass insulation products found the insulation products to be no more toxic than wood based on incapacitation and mortality.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid contact with skin and eyes during clean-up. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES: Persons not wearing appropriate protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed. Ventilate the contaminated area. CONTAINMENT/CLEAN-UP MEASURES: Containment of this material should not be necessary. Remove sources of ignition. Collect dust or particulates using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. Avoid the generation of dusts during clean-up.

SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

HANDLING: Do not breathe dust from this material. Keep this product from heat, sparks, or open flame. Use this product with adequate ventilation. Always wash work clothes separately from other clothing. Wipe out the washer or sink to prevent loose glass fibers from getting on other clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use personal protective equipment as described in Section 8. STORAGE: Store in a dry place and under cover to protect product.

SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

PPE:

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A properly fitted NIOSH approved N 95 series disposable dust respirator such as a 3M Brand #8210, #8511, #8233 or equivalent, in high humidity environments should be used when: high dust levels are encountered; the level of glass fibers in the air exceeds the occupational exposure limits; or if irritation occurs. RESPIRATORS: Wear NIOSH-certified respirators when handling and applying fiber glass insulation products in accordance with established exposure guidelines: Exposure Respirator (or equivalent) Less than 10 times exposure guideline 1/2 mask N95 or higher, such as 3M Brand #8210, #8511 or #8233 Less than 50 times exposure guideline Full face N100 or higher, such as 3M Brand 6000 or 7000 series

EYE/FACE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields should be worn at a minimum. In dusty environments chemical goggles should be worn SKIN/BODY PROTECTION: Work clothing sufficient to prevent all skin contact should be worn, such as coveralls, long sleeves and cap. GENERAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE CONSIDERATIONS: Use good industrial hygiene practices in handling this material. Availability of eye wash fountains are recommended. ENGINEERING MEASURES/CONTROLS: Use general ventilation and use local exhaust, where possible, in confined or enclosed spaces. Avoid spread of fiber glass dust. LISTED EXPOSURE LIMITS:

SECTION 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

ACUTE TOXICITY: Temporary irritation may be observed in the upper respiratory system, eyes, and skin. This product has not been tested as a separate entity. Therefore, the hazards must be evaluated on the basis of the individual ingredients, and those hazards must be assumed to be additive in the absence of complete information. The hazards described in this document have been evaluated on a threshold of 1.0% for all hazardous ingredients and 0.1% for all carcinogens. CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: This product contains glass wool insulation fibers. Following a thorough review of all the medical-scientific data available at a meeting in October 2001, the IARC panel lowered the classification for glass wool insulation fibers from a Group 2B classification ("possibly carcinogenic to humans") to a Group 3 classification ("not classifiable as to carcinogenicity to humans"). IARC said that there is "no evidence of increased risks of lung cancer or of mesothelioma from occupational exposures during manufacturing of these materials, and inadequate evidence over all of any cancer risk."
