MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

NON ASBESTOS MATERIAL

1- IDENTIFICATION OF THE MATERIAL AND SUPPLIER

2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION

Not classified as hazardous according to the criteria of NOHSC.

The product is considered harmless to health and the environment in the form supplied and if stored and handled in the correct manner – see Section 7. No hazards are known based on present information.

3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Note: These materials are bonded with a vulcanized rubber matrix. No Precautions needed unless material is to be subject to a dust –producing process

4 - FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation

Dust arising from working the product should be treated as nuisance particulate material. Inhalation of dust may cause irritation to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Movement of exposed individual to fresh air is recommended.

Skin

May cause irritation to individuals with sensitive skin. Wash skin with soap and water. Launder heavily contaminated clothing before reuse. If prolonged irritation occurs, seek medical advice.

Eye

May cause mechanical irritation in contact with eyes. Remove small solid particles and rinse with water for a minimum of 15 minutes. In all cases of eye contamination it is a sensible precaution to seek medical advice.

Ingestion

Not hazardous. Not a likely source of exposure. If ingested, give plenty of fluid to assist passage through system. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs.

5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Suitable Extinguishing Media Water, carbon dioxide, powder extinguishers, foam extinguishers

Hazards from Combustion Products In case of combustion, the same gases are produced as with burning rubber. The following may be produced in case of fire: Carbon monoxide; carbon dioxide; sulphur oxides; nitrous gases (NOx); irritating/caustic, combustible as well as poisonous carbonisation gases.

Precautions for Firefighters and

Special Protective Equipment Breathing apparatus and eye protection must be worn to protect from dust, fumes and burning rubber

6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Emergency Procedures Fire: See Section 5

Personal: See Section 4

Environmental: No known environmental hazards exist.

Methods and Materials for

Containment and Cleanup Approved vacuum cleaners with high efficiency filters (HEPA)

conforming to AS3544 or equivalent must be used to clean areas.

Additional

In the case of improper use (see Section 8) fine dust may result. Adequate suction and filtering of the exhaust air should be ensured.

7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling

Care must be taken as the material may have protruding wire that may cause laceration. No special precautions necessary when handling the material in its finished form as the synthetic mineral fibres are encapsulated in a rubber matrix. However, whenever further processing of sheets/gaskets is undertaken, the potential for the release of fibres exists.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area removed from foodstuffs. Ensure ventilation is adequate to disperse vapours emitted from the binding material. Vapours may include traces of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen and formaldehyde. Material should not be stored in the vicinity of heat sources. Material is only flammable through the effects of intensive heat. Excessive heat or humidity in the storage area may diminish the product’s performance in its intended application.

8 - SPECIAL PROTECTION

When subject to operations that create dust levels higher than 10mg\m3 (Nuisance dust) use dust Collection and /or dust respirator.

9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

10 - STABILITY AND REACTIVITY

This is stable material under normal use, handling, and storage conditions. Shelf life is measure

in years. In service avoid incompatible media .The importer can provide chemical resistance data upon Written Request.

11 – HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

Ignition of this material may result in the releases of toxic gases

Drilling sawing sanding or other methods should not create excessive amount of dust.

12 - ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Ecotoxicity Not known. Insoluble in water, precipitates.

Persistence and Degradability Not known. Not biologically degradable (self-classification).

Mobility Not known

13-DISPOSAL PROCEDURES

Dispose of in a sanitary landfill in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations of country.

14 - TRANSPORT INFORMATION

Special Precautions for User Do not transport with Explosives, Oxidising agents, Organic peroxides and foodstuffs. In sheet and cut under normal transport conditions. Not

defined as a Dangerous Good by the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail.
