First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Rinse contacted areas with room temperature to cool water, then wash gently mild soap & water. If fiberglass becomes imbedded, seek medical attention.
Flush eyes with clear water for at least 15 minutes – seek medical attention.
Ingestion of this material in not likely. If it does occur watch for several days to make sure intestinal blockage does not occur. If there is blockage seek medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention if irritation persists (inhalation). Seek medical attention (eyes). If fiberglass becomes imbedded, seek medical attention (skin). If there is blockage seek medical attention (ingestion).
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide or water spray.
Hazardous decomposition products of combustion from sizing and binders may be released in a sustained fire. The larger part of the product is non-flammable fibreglass.
In a sustained fire, self-contained breathing apparatus, (SCBA), should be worn.

Safety glasses with side shields or goggles
Some applications of these products may not require respiratory protection for fibreglass. However, if airborne glass concentrations exceed the OSHA permissible limits or if irritation occurs, a properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved disposable dust respirator such as the 3M model 8210 (formerly 8710) or model 9900 (in high humidity environments) or equivalent should be used. Use respiratory protection in accordance with your company's respiratory protection program, local regulations and OSHA regulations under CFR 1910.134.
