Notes:
(A3) - Fibers longer than 5Njm; diameter less than 3Njm; aspect ratio greater
than 5:1 as determined by the membrane filter method at 400-450X
magnification (4-mm objective) phase contrast illumination.
- Biosoluble glass mineral wool - See section 3.
Exposure controls
Engineering measures:
Maintain sufficient mechanical or natural ventilation to assure fiber
concentrations remain below PEL/TLV Use local exhaust if necessary. Power
equipment should be equipped with properly designed dust collection devices.
Eye/face protection:
Use glasses or goggles when working with mineral wool insulation above
shoulder height or in dusty environments.
Skin protection:
Minimize direct contact with skin in order to prevent mechanical itching.
Respiratory equipment:
In dusty environments, use suitable respiratory protection.
Hygiene measures:
After contact with the product, rinse skin in cold water to reduce potential
effects of mechanical itching.
Environmental Exposure
Controls:
Not relevant.
* Heat-Up Precautions:
When heated to temperatures above 400ºF for the first time, release of binder
components and binder decomposition products can occur which, in high
concentrations, may irritate eyes and the respiratory system. The duration of
release is dependant upon the thickness of the insulation, binder content and
the temperature applied. Adequate ventilation should be provided. In confined
spaces or where ventilation is not possible, occupants should wear appropriate
self-contained breathing apparatus.
