Move to a dust free area, drink water and blow nose.

Symptoms: Irritation of nose and throat.

Rinse affected areas with water and wash gently. Do not rub or scratch exposed skin.

Symptoms: Mild mechanical temporary skin irritation.

Flush abundantly with water. Do not rub eyes.

Use extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding combustible materials.

Virgin product binder may burn and produce gases and/or fumes. Packaging and surrounding materials may be combustible.

Restrict access to the area to a minimum number of workers required. Restore the situation to normal as quickly as possible.

Prevent further dust dispersion for example by dampening the materials. Do not flush spillage to drain. Check for local regulations, which may apply.

Pick up large pieces and use a vacuum cleaner fitted with a high efficiency filter (HEPA). If sweeping is used, ensure that the area is wetted down first. Do not use compressed air for clean up.

Handling can be a source of dust emission and therefore the processes should be designed to limit the amount of handling. Whenever possible, handling should be carried out under controlled conditions (i.e., using dust exhaust system). Regular good housekeeping will minimise secondary dust dispersal.

Store in original packaging in dry area whilst awaiting use

Regular good housekeeping will minimise secondary dust dispersal.

Where practical, enclose dust sources and provide dust extraction at source. Designate work areas and restrict access to informed and trained workers. Use operating procedures that will limit dust production and exposure of workers. Install LEV where possible, when machine finishing, handling, compressing and hand cutting to remove dust at source. Where practically possible enclose or segregate the work area. Pre-wet insulation prior to removal where practically possible. Where practically possible use a water lance for removal or vacuum-truck. Use down draft bench for hand cutting products. Cover pre-cut section during transport and storage to prevent secondary exposure. Where practically possible provide multiple vacuum hoses for convenient cleanup of spillage or use portable HEPA filtered vacuums.

Wear industrial leather gloves

As necessary, wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields

For dust concentrations below the applicable exposure limit value, RPE is not required but FFP2 respirators should be provided for use on a voluntary basis. For short term operations where excursions are less than ten times the applicable limit value, use FFP3 respirators. In case of higher concentrations or where the concentration is not known, please seek advice from your company and/or your supplier.

Wear work clothes, which are loose fitting at the neck and wrists. Soiled clothes should be cleaned to remove excess dust before being taken off (e.g. use vacuum cleaner, not compressed air). Each worker should be provided with two lockers in an appropriate changing and washing area. It is good hygiene practice to ensure work clothes are washed separately by the employer. Work clothes should not be taken home.

Processes involving the manufacturing or use of RCF/ASW should be filtered to minimise fibre emissions to air. Waste RCF/ASW should be stored in closed containers and placed in to deep landfills, giving therefore little opportunity for release. General good practice for spills and waste is to prevent products from being windblown, by covering and damping the waste materials. Contain spillages to prevent access to drain.

stable

RCF/ASW is stable and non reactive.

Please refer to handling and storage advice in Section 7.

Upon heating above 900°C for sustained periods, this amorphous material can begin to transform to mixtures of crystalline phases. During first heating, oxidation products from the organic binder might be emitted in a temperature range from 180°C to 600°C.

Ensure that dust is not windblown during transportation.
