Precautionary statements
Contact with fibers may cause temporary irritation or itch on skin, eyes, throat or nose. Wear long- sleeved, loose-fitting clothing with gloves, eyes protection and a respirator. Wash exposed areas with soap and warm water and gargle after handling. Minimize released fibers by putting waste fibers in plastic bags, etc. immediately after cutting or chopping. Wash work clothes separately from other clothing. Seek medical attention in case of prolonged irritation or itch. When chopping or cutting glass fibers, grinding materials including glass fibers, or handling glass powder, milled fibers, or glass flakes. Use local exhaust ventilation if necessary to maintain airborne levels to below established limits. Though glass fibers are nonflammable, most of sizing agents or surface treatment agents coated on fibers are flammable. Fibers in fuzz or cotton-like forms are especially easy to catch fire.
