* Substances listed in the hazardous ingredients section are those that have been determined to be health hazards and are present at a concentration of 1% or greater, or 0.1% if the substance is on the list of potential carcinogens cited in the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. SECTION 3 HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION Primary Routes of Exposure: Inhalation (dust), eye and skin contact

Page 1 of 5

Emergency Overview: Inhalation of excessive amounts of dust from the product may cause temporary upper respiratory irritation and/or congestion. Extended contact with this material may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Potential Health Effects: Breathing dust from this product may cause a scratchy throat, congestion, and slight coughing. Getting dust or fibers on the skin, or in the eyes may cause itching, rash, or redness. Inhalation: Skin: Eyes: Ingestion: Irritation of the upper respiratory tract, coughing, and congestion may occur in extreme exposures. Temporary irritation, itching, or redness may occur. Temporary irritation, itching, or redness may occur. This product is not intended to be ingested. Although unlikely under normal use, if ingested, product can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

SECTION 4 FIRST AID MEASURES Eye Contact: Do not rub or scratch your eyes. Dust particles may cause the eye to be scratched. Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation occurs, obtain medical attention. Skin Contact: Wash gently with soap and water to remove dust. Wash hands before eating or using the restroom. Ingestion: Although unlikely under normal use, if product is ingested in its whole form, obtain medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by medical personnel. If dust is ingested, irritation of the gastrointestinal tract may occur. Rinse mouth with water to remove fibers, and drink plenty of water to reduce the irritation. Remove person to fresh air. Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust.

Inhalation:

SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Flash Point: Not Determined N/A Autoignition Temperature: Lower Flammable Limit: Not Determined N/A

Upper Flammable Limit: Extinguishing Media: Explosion Hazard: Fire Fighting Equipment:

Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water, water fog There is no known potential for explosion. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Hazardous Combustion Products: Decomposition can produce hazardous chemicals. Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acetic acid, vinyl acetate, and other unknown products may be produced during combustion. SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Material should be swept up and discarded in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Dust accumulation should be vacuumed. Avoid dust-generating means of cleanup. SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling:
Page 2 of 5

Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this material safety data sheet when handling uncontained material.

Storage:

Material should be kept in a dry area and protected from the elements. Store away from ignition sources or combustible materials.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure Guidelines Glass wool fiber, OSHA voluntary Health and Safety Partnership Program (HSPP): 1 f/cc TWA for fibers longer than 5m with a diameter less than 3 m. Ventilation In manufacturing settings, local exhaust ventilation should be provided at areas of cutting to remove airborne dust and fibers and keep exposure below exposure limits. Exposure levels and need for ventilation systems should be evaluated by a professional industrial hygienist. General Equipment Wear a cap, a loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirt and long pants to protect skin from irritation. Exposed skin areas should be washed with soap and warm water after handling or working with fiberglass. Clothing should be washed separately from other clothes, and the washer should be rinsed thoroughly (run empty for a complete wash cycle). This will reduce the chances of fiberglass being transferred to other clothing. Respiratory Use ventilation to control dust levels. If ventilation is inadequate to keep dust and fiber levels below the applicable exposure limits, use a NIOSH certified particulate respirator (half face respirator or two-strap disposable dust mask respirator) with a rating of N95 or better, such as 3M 8210 equivalent or higher. Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear out, or spraying, etc. that generate higher concentrations of dust/fiber may require a higher level of respiratory protection. Use APF ratings of respirators to select the appropriate respirator for the hazard level that exists. Wearing of respirators requires compliance with OSHA's Respiratory Protection Standard 29CFR 1910.134 General Industry, or 29CFR 1926.103 Construction. Skin Protection Leather or cotton gloves should be worn to prevent skin contact and irritation. Barrier creams may also be used to reduce skin contact and irritation caused by fiberglass. Eye Protection Safety glasses with sideshields are recommended to keep dust out of the eyes.

Hazardous Decomposition Products: The decomposition products from this material are those that would be expected from any organic (carbon-containing) material, and are mainly derived from pyrolysis, or burning, of the resin. These decomposition products may include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbon particles, and traces of hydrogen cyanide. Other decomposition products may include hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride, acetic acid, vinyl acetate, and other organic vapors. SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Acute Toxicity !" General: Dust from this product is a mechanical irritant, which means that it may cause temporary irritation or scratchiness of the throat, and/or itching of the eyes and skin. !" Component Analysis LD50/LC50 Urea extended phenol-formaldehyde resin (cured) (25104-55-6) Oral LD50 Rat: 7 gm/kg Oral LD50 Mouse: 7 gm/kg Carcinogenicity !" General: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), National Toxicology Program (NTP), International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) have not classified this product in its entirety as a carcinogen. !" Component Carcinogenicity: Fiber Glass Wool (65997-17-3) ACGIH: AS Animal Carcinogen (related to glass wool fibers) NTP: Suspect Carcinogen (related to glass wool) (Possible Select Carcinogen) IARC: Monograph 43, 1988; Monograph 81, 2002 (related to insulation glass wool) (Group 3 (not classifiable)) Chronic Toxicity Fiber Glass Wool: In October 2001, IARC classified fiber glass wool as Group 3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. The 2001 decision was based on current human and animal research that shows no association between inhalation exposure to dust from fiber glass wool and the development of respiratory disease. This is a reversal of the IARC finding in 1987 of a Group 2B designation (possibly carcinogenic to humans) based on earlier studies in which animals were injected with large quantities of fiberglass. NTP and ACGIH have not yet reviewed the IARC reclassification or the most current fiberglass health research; at this time, both agencies continue to classify glass wool based on the earlier animal injection studies. SECTION 12 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION No ecotoxicological data is available for this product. SECTION 13 DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS This product is not considered a hazardous waste under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) regulations. Dispose of in compliance with local, state, and federal regulations. When incinerating, use a unit with acid scrubber to remove hydrogen chloride and bromide.
