Special protection information
Respiratory protection
Use NIOSH or MSHA approved equipment when airborne exposure limits may be
exceeded. NIOSH/MSHA approved breathing equipment may be required for non-
routine and emergency use. (See
Pending the results of long term health effects studies, engineering control of
airborne filters to the lowest level attainable is advised.
Ventilation
Ventilation should be used whenever possible to control or reduce airborne
concentrations of fiber and dust. Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of
nitrogen, reactive hydrocarbons, and a small amount of formaldehyde may
accompany binder burn off during first heat. Use adequate ventilation or other
precautions to eliminate vapors resulting from binder burn off. Exposure to burn
off fumes may cause respiratory tract irritation, bronchial hyper-reactivity, and
asthmatic response.
Skin protection
Wear gloves, hats, and full body clothing to prevent skin contact. Use separate
lockers for work clothes to prevent fiber transfer to street clothes. Wash work
clothes separately from other clothing and rinse washing machine thoroughly
after each use.
Eye protection
Wear safety gloves or chemical worker's goggles to prevent eye contact. Do not
wear contact lenses when working with this substance. Have eye baths readily
available when eye contact can occur.
A.2.9
Special precautions
Observe general cleanliness.
The toxicology data indicate that ceramic fiber should be handled with caution.
Follow the handling practices described in this MSDS strictly. In particular, when
handling refractory ceramic fiber in any application, take special caution to avoid
unnecessary cutting and tearing of the material to minimize generation of
airborne dust.
It is recommended that you wear full body clothing to reduce the potential for
skin irritation. Use washable or disposable clothing. Do not take unwashed work
clothing home. Wash work clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse washing
machine thoroughly after use. If clothing is to be laundered by someone else,
inform launderer of proper procedure. Keep work clothes and street clothes
separate to prevent contamination.
Product which has been in service at elevated temperatures (greater than 1800 °F
[982 °C]) may undergo partial conversion to cristobalite, a form of crystalline
silica. This reaction occurs at the furnace lining hot face. As a consequence, this
material becomes more friable; take special caution to minimize generation of air-
