As needed for surrounding fire conditions. Any extinguishing media may be used as required. Waterfog may be used to cool intact containers and nearby storage areas.

FBS-1 Rockwool Insulation is non-flammable, but the plastic wrapping, resin binder, and some facings may decompose, smoulder or burn in a fire or when heated above 300°C. If product is present in a fire, toxic gases or smoke may be evolved depending on surrounding fire conditions.

As needed for surrounding fire conditions. If required, evacuate area and contact emergency services; remain upwind and notify those downwind of fire hazard; and wear protective equipment including Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA).

Clean area so as to avoid dispersion of loose material or fibres using wet sweep methods or vacuum cleaner.

Minimise eye or skin contact and inhalation during handling, installation and removal (see Section 8).

Store in sealed container in cool, dry area, removed from foodstuffs. Ensure packages are adequately labelled, protected from physical damage, and sealed when not in use. Avoid packaging being stored under UV light (direct sunlight) for long periods.

Observe good personal hygiene, including washing hands before eating. Remove personal protective equipment before entering eating areas.

During most applications and installation no special ventilation will be required. However, if installing in dusty or poorly-ventilated areas, or during the first heat-up cycle in high-temperature industrial applications, local exhaust ventilation should be considered. Work practices should aim to minimise the release of, and exposure to, fibres and/or dust. Hand tools generate the least amount of dust and fibres. If power tools are used directly on the product appropriate dust collection systems are recommended.

Standard duty gloves conforming to Australian Standard AS 2161. Bradford Comfortsleeve™ gloves are recommended for improved comfort when handling and installing Rockwool Insulation.

When handling these products, particularly overhead or in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas such as ceiling spaces or risers, eye contact with dust or fibre can be avoided by wearing ventilated non-fogging dust resistant goggles conforming to Australian and New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 1336.

None normally required. If dust is generated in enclosed or poorly-ventilated areas, an approved particulate respirator conforming to Australian and New Zealand Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 is recommended. P1, P2 or N95 type respirators are appropriate. Use only respirators that bear the Australian Standards mark and are fitted and maintained correctly, and kept in clean storage when not in use.

Direct skin contact can be minimised by wearing long-sleeved shirts and long trousers, a cap or hat, and standard duty gloves conforming to Australian Standard AS 2161. Work clothes should be washed regularly and separately from other clothes.

Stable. The cured resin is stable and will remain intact for the life of the product under normal atmospheric conditions.

No reported incompatibilities. Acids, alkalis or organic solvents may cause
