contact physician.
Skin contact Direct, prolonged or repeated contact with the skin may cause irritation. Rinse area with plenty of
water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists.
Eye contact Do not rub eyes. Flush thoroughly with water. If irritation occurs, get medical assistance.

Eye/face protection Wear approved safety goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection It is a good industrial hygiene practice to minimize skin contact. For prolonged or repeated skin
contact use suitable protective gloves.
Other Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended.
Respiratory protection If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure
limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not
been established), an approved air supplied air respirator must be worn. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
approved air purifying respirator as needed to control exposure. Consult with respirator
manufacturer to determine respirator selection, use, and limitations. Use positive pressure,
air-supplied respirator for uncontrolled releases or when air purifying respirator limitations may be
exceeded. Follow respirator protection program requirements (OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2)
for all respirator use.
Thermal hazards None.
General hygiene Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
considerations and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants. Observe any medical surveillance requirements.

Further information The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in June, 1987, categorized continuous
filament glass fibers as not classifiable with respect to human carcinogenicity (Group 3). The
evidence from human as well as animal studies was evaluated by IARC as insufficient to classify
continuous filament glass fiber as a possible, probable, or confirmed cancer causing material. The
ACGIH has established a TLV (Threshold Limit Value or recommended exposure limit) for
continuous filament glass fiber of 1 fiber per cubic centimeter of air for respirable fibers and 5 mg
per cubic meter of air for inhalable glass fiber dust. These levels were established to prevent
mechanical irritation of the upper airways. IARC, NTP (US National Toxicology Program) and
OSHA (US Occupational Safety and Health Administration) do not list continuous filament glass
fibers as a carcinogen. As manufactured, continuous filament glass fibers in this product are not
respirable. Continuous filament glass products that are chopped, crushed or severely mechanically
processed during manufacturing or use may contain a very small amount of respirable particulate,
some of which may be glass shards.

Titanium dioxide: Raw materials and/or coatings in this product contain small amounts of titanium
dioxide. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that titanium
dioxide is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) based on inadequate evidence in humans
and sufficient evidence in experimental animals. This conclusion relates to long-term inhalation
exposure to high concentrations of pigmentary (powdered) or ultrafine titanium dioxide. However,
no significant exposure to primary particles of titanium dioxide is thought to occur during the use of
products in which titanium dioxide is bound to other materials, such as in paints. The available
human studies do not suggest an association between occupational exposure to titanium dioxide
and risk for cancer (1). The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH)
has designated this chemical as not classifiable as a human carcinogen (A4). The US National
Toxicology Program (NTP) has not listed this chemical in its report on carcinogens.
