Fiberglass H-BLOCK Insulation - SDS

Section I. IDENTITY AND COMPANY INFORMATION

Identity: Fiberglass H-BLOCK Insulation
Manufacturer's Name: Pipe Support Insulation
Address: 500 South Ninth Street, Lehighton, PA 18235
Emergency Telephone Number: (610) 377-6100
Telephone Number for Information: (610) 377-6100

Section II. Hazards Identification

Biosolubility: The insulation products covered by this SDS are independently certified by EUCEB to be manufactured using biosoluble glass formulations and thus exempt from labeling under NTP or California Prop 65 requirements.

Section III. Composition/Information on Ingredients

Section IV. First Aid Measures

Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation (breathing dust and fibers), skin, and eye contact.

Inhalation: Inhalation of excessive amounts of dust from the product may cause a scratchy throat, slight coughing, temporary upper respiratory irritation and/or congestion. Breathing large amounts of dust or fibers from this product may lead to chronic health effects as discussed in Section 11 of this safety data sheet.

Skin: Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.

Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If ingested, it may cause temporary irritation to the gastrointestinal (digestive) tract.

Eyes: Temporary irritation (itching) or redness may occur.

Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists. Drink water to clear throat, and blow nose to remove dust. A saline spray in the nose may help clear any fibers.

Eye Contact: Do not rub or scratch eyes. Dust particles may cause the eye to be scratched. Wash eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Skin Contact: Wash with mild soap and running water. Use a washcloth to help remove fibers. To avoid further irritation, do not rub or scratch irritated areas. Rubbing or scratching may force fiber into skin. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion: Ingestion of this material is unlikely. If this does occur, rinse mouth with water to remove dust and fibers and drink plenty of water to help reduce irritation. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Section V. Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point, °C, Test Method: None
Auto-Ignition Temperature: NA
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): Not applicable
Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): Not applicable

General Fire Hazards: There is no potential for spontaneous fire or explosion. Inorganic mineral wool fibers are naturally non-combustible and nonflammable. Organic binder can thermally decompose with elevated temperatures.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide (CO2), water, water fog, dry chemical.
Fire Fighting Instructions: No special procedures are expected to be necessary for this product. Normal fire fighting procedures should be followed to avoid inhalation of smoke and gases. Use self contained breathing apparatus in a sustained fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: None

Section VI. Accidental Release Measures

Clean-Up Procedures: Pick up large pieces. Vacuum dusts. Place in closable container for disposal.

Section VII. Handling and Storage

No special storage or handling procedures is required for this material.

Work/Hygienic Practices: Wash work clothing separately. Wash exposed skin area immediately with warm, soapy water.

Section VIII. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Respiratory protection: Use 3M Model 8210, 8710, 9900(in high humidity or high heat environment) or equivalent, NIOSH-certified dust respirator with efficiency rating of N95 or higher (under 42 CFR 84) when working with this product.
Skin Protection: Long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing and gloves.
Eye Protection: Goggles or face shield.
Engineering Control: General dilution ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation should be provided as necessary to maintain exposures below regulatory limits. Dust collection systems should be used in operations involving cutting or machining and may be required in operations using power tools.
