8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure guidelines
:
As manufactured continuous filament glass fibres are not
respirable. Under normal conditions of use, these products may
release dust and non-respirable fibres (Particles Not Otherwise
Regulated). Under severe process conditions (e.g. shredding,
crushing), they may release very small amount of respirable
particulate, some of which may be glass shards (see section 11).
Continuous filament glass fiber, non-respirable, 65997-17-3
ACGIH TLV
:
TWA: 1 fibre/cm3 respirable fibres: length >5 μm, aspect ratio
>=3:1, as determined by the membrane filter method at 400450X magnification [4-mm objective], using phase-contrast
illumination. TWA: 5 mg/m3 inhalable particulate matter
OSHA PEL
: - NIOSH REL
: -
Engineering controls
:
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Provide
local exhaust and/or general ventilation to maintain exposure
below regulatory and recommended limits especially in
transferring , cutting or machining operations or other
fumes/dust generating processes
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
:
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin and body protection
:
Wear protective gloves. Wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants.
Respiratory protection
:
No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions.
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced,
ventilation and evacuation may be required. In case of insufficient
ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment
Hygiene measures
:
Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling
products. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
According to its composition, this product should not be harmful in normal conditions of use.
Toxicological effects
:
No data available on the mixture.
For the polymer contained in
the mixture
:
The polymer is not considered as an harmful preparation
according to directive 1999/45/CE.
Acute toxicity
Inhalation
:
Dust inhalation may generate irritation of the respiratory tract.
Prolonged inhalation at high doses of decomposition product may
cause headache and irritation of the respiratory tract.
Ingestion
:
Not probable.
Dermal
:
According to its composition, this product should not be harmful
in normal conditions of use.
Local effects
Skin contact
:
Dust and fibers that may be generated by mechanical treatment
may cause temporary skin and mucous membranes itching due to
the abrasion effect of the fibers. The symptoms disappear when
the exposure ceases. Mechanical abrasion is not considered as a
health hazard in the meaning of Regulation EC 1272/2008.
Continuous filament glass fibers are not classified as irritants
under the regulation EC 1272/2008.
Eye contact
:
May be considered as comparable to a similar product for which
experimental data are: Slightly or not irritating to eyes.
Respiratory or skin sensitization
Inhalation
:
Continuous filament glass fibers are not respirable according to
the World Health Organization (WHO) definition. Respirable fibers

have a diameter (d) smaller than 3μm, a length (l) larger than
5μm and a l/d-ratio larger than or equal to 3. Fibers with
diameters greater than 3 microns, which is the case for
continuous filament glass fibers, do not reach the lower
respiratory tract and, therefore have no possibility of causing
serious pulmonary disease.
Continuous filament glass fibers do not possess cleavage plans
which would allow them to split length-wise into fibers with smaller
diameters, rather they break across the fiber, resulting in fibers
which are of the same diameter as the original fiber with a
shorter length and a small amount of dust.
Microscopic examination of dust from highly chopped and
pulverised glass demonstrated the presence of small amount of
respirable dust particles. Among these respirable particles, some
were fiber-like in terms of l/d ratio (so-called “shards”). It can be
clearly observed however that they are not regular shaped fibers
but irregular shaped fibers with fiber-like dimensions. To the best
of our knowledge, the exposure levels of these fiber-like dust
particles measured at our manufacturing plants are at the order
of magnitude between 50 to 1000 below existing applicable
limits.
Continuous filament glass fibers are not carcinogenic (see section
15)
Skin contact
:
May be considered as comparable to a similar product for which
experimental data are: not a skin sensitizer.

Information on noncarcinogenicity (glass fibres)
:
Continuous Filaments glass fibres are not classified as
carcinogenic by regulation (EC) 1272/2008 since they are not
“fibres with random orientation”.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in June
1987 and in October 2001, categorized continuous filament

glass fibres 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 fibres as a confirmed, probable or even
possible cancer causing material.
Chemical safety assessment
