SECTION 2: Hazards identification

(29 CFR 1910.1200) Emergency Overview Color: Tan Physical State: Board Odor: Mild Hazards of product: Toxic fumes may be released in fire situations. Isolate area.

Potential health effects

Eye Contact: Solid or dust may cause irritation or corneal injury due to mechanical action. Fumes or dust generated from cutting or grinding operations may cause eye irritation. Skin Contact: May cause itching. May cause skin irritation due to mechanical abrasion. Skin Absorption: Skin absorption is unlikely due to physical properties. Inhalation: Dusts or fibers generated in processing may cause irritation of the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat). Fumes or dusts generated from cutting or grinding operations may cause irritation ®(TM)*Trademark of the upper respiratory tract and lungs. Concentrations of the blowing agents anticipated incidental to proper handling are expected to be well below those which cause acute inhalation effects and below exposure guidelines. Ingestion: Swallowing is unlikely because of the physical state. Very low toxicity if swallowed. Harmful effects not anticipated from swallowing small amounts. May cause choking if swallowed.

Aspiration hazard

Based on physical properties, not likely to be an aspiration hazard Effects of Repeated Exposure: Repeated exposures to dusts of this material are not anticipated to result in systemic toxicity or permanent lung injury; however, excessive exposures may cause less severe respiratory effects. The data presented are for the following material: The fiberglass in this product is continuous filament fiberglass. Repeated exposure to particles generated by grinding may result in implantation of particles in the skin. For the minor component(s): May cause central nervous system effects. In animals, effects have been reported on the following organs: Male reproductive organs. Female reproductive organs. Liver. Birth Defects/Developmental Effects For the minor component(s) Has been toxic to the fetus in laboratory animals at doses toxic to the mother. Reproductive Effects: Contains 1-bromopropane which has been shown to interfere with reproduction and fertility in animal studies.
