• Mechanical irritation (itching)

• Exposure to airborne dusts and fibers (inhalation)

For detailed explanation see section 11.

03. Composition/Information on ingredients

Continuous filament glass fiber (CFGF) products are articles in the meaning of REACH

(1907/2006/ER).

CFGF products are made of glass which is given a specific shape (filament) and dimension (filament

diameter).

A surface treatment (sizing) is applied to the filaments which are gathered to form a strand. The

strand is further processed into a specific product design according to the downstream use of the

article. The sizing is a mixture of chemicals, i.e. coupl

ing agent, film former and polymeric

resin/emulsion. The sizing content is usually below 1% and in some specific case up to 2.5%.

The

sizing mixture basically consists of high molecular weight polymers not listed as dangerous substances

(EINECS) nor in sub

sequent additions to the European List of New Commercial Chemical Substances

(ELINCS).

For moulded products, based on CFGF a binder is applied in a secondary step to form the pre-form.

The binder (polymeric resin) content is usually below 3% of the product weight.

The chemical composition of continuous filament glass fib

er one can find in technical data sheets for

every product.

04. First Aid Measures

General information

Gently remove fibre from the respiratory tract resp from the skin and mucousae.

Inhalation

In case of upper respiratory tract irritation:

• Move to fresh air

• If symptoms persist, call a physician

Skin contact

In case of irritation:

• Wash off immediately with soap and cold water.

• DO NOT use warm water because this will open up the pores of

the skin, which will cause further penetration of the fibers.

• DO NOT rub or scratch affected areas.

• Remove contaminated clothing.

• If skin irritation persists, call a physician
