Section IV. First Aid Measures
Primary Route(s) of Entry: Inhalation (breathing dust and fibers), skin, and eye contact.
Inhalation: Inhalation of excessive amounts of dust created when fabricating, cutting, or other mechanical alterations of the product may cause 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.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
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.
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.

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.

Section XIII. Disposal Considerations
Spill Response:
Land Spill: Scoop up or vacuum material and put into suitable container for disposal as a non-hazardous waste.
Water Spill: This material will sink and disperse along the bottom of waterways and ponds. It can not easily be removed after it is waterborne; however, the material is non-hazardous in water.
Air Release: This material will settle out of the air. It can then be scooped up or vacuumed for disposal as non-hazardous waste.
RCRA Hazard Class: Non-Hazardous
Disposal Instructions: Dispose of waste material according to Local, State, Federal, and Provincial Environmental Regulations.
