Fiberglass is known by IARC as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B) via inhalation of respirable dust/fibers. Continuous Filament Fiber Glass is classified by IARC as not classifiable as a human carcinogen (Group 3). Under normal conditions of use, this product is not expected to produce respirable fiberglass/glass oxide fibers, and is therefore not classified as a carcinogen. If product is altered and dust is formed, proper precautions should be taken to ensure material is not respirated (see Section 8 for OEL’s). There is the risk of thermal burns on contact with hot or molten material. Irritating fumes may be given off during processing or normal conditions of use ensure adequate ventilation. Exposure may aggravate pre-existing eye, skin, or respiratory conditions. Product contains ingredients that are combustible dusts. Under normal conditions of use, this product is not expected to generate dust, however, if dust is generated take appropriate precautions for a combustible dust hazard - do not generate dust during clean-up, use non-sparking tools, ensure adequate ventilation, utilize dust suppressants if necessary, do not allow dust to accumulate in the workplace, keep away from sources of ignition.
