Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur Conditions to Avoid: N. AP.

Section VI - Toxicological and First Aid Information

HYDROGEN SULFIDE

OSHA Permissible Exposure Level: See Section II. PEL for hydrogen sulfide may be reached if 1 cubic ft of material is crushed in a closed space of 3000 cubic ft.

Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes Skin: No Ingestion: Unlikely Eye Contact: Yes
Effects of overexposure to hydrogen sulfide gas when cells are broken without adequate ventilation:
Acute: Inhalation: Headache, nausea, and difficult breathing, dizziness.
Eyes: Irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane, tearing, sensitivity to light.
The sense of smell may be fatigued over time. The odor and irritating effects do not offer dependable warning to workers who maybe exposed to gradually increasing amounts and therefore become used to it.
Chronic: Chronic poisoning results in headache, inflammation of the eyelids and the mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids, digestive disturbances, weight loss and general weakness.

Medical Conditions Generally Aggravated by Exposure to Hydrogen sulfide: Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung diseases such as, but not limited to bronchitis, emphysema and asthma, pulmonary heart disease or eye problems.

GLASS PARTICLES

Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes Skin: No Ingestion: Yes Eye Contact: Yes
Effects of Exposure to Glass Particles:
Acute: Skin: Irritation or abrasion from glass particles.
Ingestion: Possible abrasion of mouth and throat from glass particles.

Other Toxicological Properties: None known

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes: Flush with potable water for 15 minutes, do not rub or apply pressure. Consult physician or emergency medical service.
Skin: Wash thoroughly without pressure. If irritation persists or skin is broken, consult physician.
Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air, apply artificial respiration if needed. Call poison center, physician or emergency medical service giving CAS names and numbers of gases.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Consult physician, emergency medical service or poison center immediately.

Section VII - Precautions For Safe Handling and Use

Steps to be Taken In Case Material is Released or Spilled: Collect in sift-proof containers. Avoid generation of dust.

Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of in approved landfill in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.

Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storing: Avoid generation of dust. If storing for long periods, protect insulation from weather.

Other Precautions: None

Section VIII - Personnel Protection Information

Eye Protection: Goggles for dust protection while cutting or abrading in wind or overhead work.

Skin Protection: Gloves - rubber impregnated canvas - for abrasion protection. Normal work clothes including long-sleeved shirt.

Respiratory Protection: Use nuisance dust mask when cutting or abrading with adequate ventilation (6 air/changes per hour). Supplied air or self-contained breathing apparatus in poorly ventilated areas is required when crushing of FOAMGLAS® SUPER K insulation causes PEL of hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide gases to be exceeded.

Ventilation: Use local exhaust when cutting. Use mechanical ventilation when crushing large volumes.

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: None

Work/Hygienic Practices: Use good housekeeping and hygiene practices.

Section IX - Shipping Information

DOT Hazard Class: None

Proper Shipping Name: Cellular Glass
