Do not rub or scratch exposed :In case of eye contact flush abundantly with water; have eye bath available. Do not rub AND THROAT:If these become irritated move to a dust free area, drink water and blow symptoms persist, seek medical FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURESNon combustible and surrounding materials may be combustibleUse extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding combustible ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURESW here abnormally high dust concentrations occur, provide the workers with appropriate protectiveequipment as detailed in section the situation to normal as quickly as further dust dispersion for example by damping the up large pieces and use a vacuum cleaner fitted with high efficiency filter (HEPA).

4 If brushing is used, ensure that the area is wetted down not use compressed air for clean not allow being wind blown. Do not flush spillage to drain and prevent from entering wastes disposal refer to section HANDLING AND STORAGEHANDLING/TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE DUST EMISSIONS DURING HANDLINGH andling can be a source of dust emission. The process or processes should be designed to limit theamount of handling. Wherever possible handling should be carried out under ventilation with filtered good housekeeping will minimise secondary dust in original packaging in a dry area. Always use sealed and clearly labelled containers. Avoid damagingcontainers. Reduce dust emission during unpacking. Emptied containers, which may contain debris, shouldbe cleaned before disposal or USEP lease refer to your local Thermal Ceramics supplier or ECFIA s EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTIONHYGIENE STANDARDS AND EXPOSURE LIMITSI ndustrial hygiene standards and occupational exposure limits vary between countries and local which exposure levels apply to your facility.

5 If no regulatory dust or other standards apply, a qualifiedindustrial hygienist can assist with a specific workplace evaluation including recommendations for respiratoryprotection. Examples of exposure limits applying (in January 2002) to mineral wools in different countries aregiven below: MorganMSDS : 105-7-EUROT hermal CeramicsLast revision : 01/2003page 3/6 COUNTRYEXPOSURE LIMIT* f/mlTRGS 900, Bundesarbeitsblatt 4 f/mlCirculaire DRT No 95-4 du f/ml and 5 mg/m3 HSE - EH40 Maximum Exposure Limit*Time weighted average concentrations of airborne respirable fibres measured over 8 hours by theconventional membrane filter method or the total inhalable dust using standard gravimetric CONTROLSR eview your applications in order to identify potential sources of dust exhaust ventilation, which collects dust at source, can be used.

Use a vacuum cleaner fitted with a HEPA filter; avoid brushing and PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENTSkin protection:Wear gloves and work clothes, which are loose fitting at the neck and wrists. Soiled clothes should becleaned to remove excess fibres before being taken off ( use vacuum cleaning, not compressed air).Eye protection:As necessary wear goggles or SAFETY glasses with side protection:For dust concentrations below the exposure limit value, RPE is not required but FFP2 respirators may beused on a voluntary short-term operations where excursions are less than ten times the limit value use FFP2 case of higher concentrations or where the concentration is not known, please seek advice from yourcompany and/or local Thermal Ceramics AND TRAINING OF WORKERSW orkers should be trained on good working practices and informed on applicable local EXPOSURE CONTROLSR efer to local, national or European applicable environmental permitted standards for air, water and soil.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITYCONDITIONS OR MATERIALS TO AVOIDNoneDECOMPOSITION PRODUCTSUpon heating above 900 C for sustained periods, this amorphous MATERIAL begins to transform to mixtures ofcrystalline phases. For further information please refer to Section TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATIONIRRITANT PROPERTIESWhen tested using approved methods (Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex 5, Method B4), fibres contained in thismaterial give negative results. All man-made mineral fibres, like some natural fibres, can produce a mildirritation resulting in itching or rarely, in some sensitive individuals, in a slight reddening.

8 Unlike other irritantreactions this is not the result of allergy or chemical skin damage but is caused by mechanical ANIMAL STUDIEST hese materials have been designed to be rapidly cleared from tissue. And this low biopersistence has beenconfirmed in many studies using EU protocol ECB/TM/27(rev 7) and the German method specified in TRGS905 (1999). When inhaled, even at very high doses, they do not accumulate to any level capable ofproducing a serious adverse biological effect. In lifetime chronic studies there was no exposure-related effectmore than would be seen with any inert dust. Subchronic studies at the highest doses achievable producedat worst a transient mild inflammatory response. Fibres with the same ability to persist in tissue do notproduce tumours when injected into the peritoneal cavity of ECOLOGICAL INFORMATIONT hese products are inert materials, which remain stable over the adverse effects of this MATERIAL on the environment are DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONSW aste from these materials may be generally disposed of at a landfill, which has been licensed for thispurpose.

9 Please refer to the European list (Decision N 2000/532/CE as modified) to identify yourappropriate waste number, and insure national and/or regional regulation are complied into account any possible contamination during use, expert guidance should be wetted, such a waste is normally dusty and so should be properly sealed in clearly and visiblylabelled containers for disposal. At some authorised disposal sites, dusty waste may be treated differently inorder to ensure they are dealt with promptly to avoid them being wind blown. Check for national and/orregional regulations, which may TRANSPORT INFORMATIONNot classified as dangerous goods under relevant international transport regulations (ADR, RID, IATA,IMDG).

10 Ensure that dust is not wind blown during transportation. MorganMSDS : 105-7-EUROT hermal CeramicsLast revision : 01/2003page 5/615. REGULATORY INFORMATIONFIBRE TYPE DEFINITION ACCORDING TO DIRECTIVE 67/548/EECR egulatory status comes from European Directive 67/548/EEC on the classification, labelling and packagingof dangerous substances and preparations as modified by Directive 97/69/EC and its implementations by theMember States. According to Directive 67/548/EEC, the fibre contained in this product is a mineral woolbelonging to the group of man-made vitreous (silicate) fibres with random orientation with alkaline oxide andalkali earth oxide (Na2O+K2O+CaO+MgO+BaO) content greater than 18% by weight".Under Directive 67/548/EEC all types of man-made vitreous (silicate) fibres are classified as irritant despitethe fact that testing by the appropriate EU method (B4 in annexe 5 of Directive 67/548/EEC) is providing noresponse and would not result in irritant criteria listed in nota Q of Directive 67/548/EEC, AES wools are exonerated from carcinogenclassification because of low pulmonary biopersistence measured by the methods specified in EuropeanUnion and German regulations (EU protocol ECB/TM/27(rev 7) and German method as specified in TRGS905 (1999)).
