Contains fiber glass wool, a possible
cause of cancer if inhaled. Carcinogenicity: Conditions of Flammability: Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazard. Decomposition Products: These products contain a cured phenolic-based binder. The binder and kraft facing in a fire situation may emit toxic fumes and smoke containing carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and molecular fragments of hydrocarbon particles, carbon-hydrogen-nitrogen and nitrogen-oxygen compounds. How Does Exposure Occur? Workers using fiberglass may be exposed
to airborne fibers from the fiberglass itself and to various chemicals
associated with using it. Epoxy Resins - Epoxy resins are chemicals used in lacquers, varnishes and plastics, or in combination with other components to form plastics. They are also used to strengthen, harden, or give flexibility to fiberglass. Breathing epoxy resins may cause chest tightness, shortness of breath or wheezing. Skin contact can cause rash. Styrene - Styrene is part of the polyester resin used with fiberglass. It is extremely irritating to the eys and nose at low concentrations; at higher concentrations it causes headache, dizziness, and sometimes nausea. Acetone and MEK (Methyl ethyl ketone) - Acetone and MEK are commonly used solvents in fiberglass lay-up and spray-up. They are irritating to the eyes, nose and throat. Inhaling the vapors may cause drowsiness, breathing difficulties, and more serious damage to the lungs and nervous system. |
