CAS No.：
Glass Fiber: 65997-17-3
Sizing: N/A
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 contains 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 polymerized 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:

Page 5 of 10
 Q/JS J0520-2017

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.
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:
a) Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers.
b) Avoid dry sweeping.
c) Shovel the major part of spilled material into a container.
d) Use an industrial vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency filter to clean up dust and
residual spilled material.
e) 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
might generate airborne dust or fibers. The occupational exposure limits below
mentioned are applicable to airborne fiber exposure and/or to dust exposure.

Respiratory Protection：
Wear a suitable mask when working in an environment where dust concentration is
high.
Eye Protection：
Wear safety glasses and face shield.
Body Protection：
Normal loose working clothing (long-sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended.
Skin irritation occurs primarily at the contact areas such as around the neck and waist.
Hand Protection：
Wear gloves. Skin irritation occurs primarily at the contact areas such as wrists and
between the fingers.

SECTION 11 – TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

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.

Dispose waste materials as per local environmental regulations.

SECTION 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.
