Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZ: ARE THOUGHT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR
    THIS SM APPARENT INCR, & EXPANDED STUDY IS CURRENTLY UNDERWAY TO
    INVESTIGATE OTHER POSS CONTRIBUTING FACTORS. SKIN: CONT W/FIBROUS
    GLASS MAY CAUSE TEMPORARY  IRRIT. CONT W/UNCURED BINDER MAY CAUSE

*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INGEST: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . SKIN: FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMOUNTS
    OF WATER. CALL MD. . INHAL: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. EYE CONT: FLUSH
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:WATER, FOAM, DRY CHEMICAL, CO*2.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIBROUS GLASS IS NONFLAMMABLE. UNCURED BINDER
    PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT . DENSE SMOKE MAY LIMIT VISIBILITY IN ENCLOSED
    AREAS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:RESIN WILL BURN CAUSING DENSE ACRID
    SMOKE. FACINGS MAY BURN CAUSING DENSE ACRID SMOKE.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:CLEAN ALL WASTE AND/OR SCRAP MATERIAL FROM
    EQUIPMENT, COUNTER TOPS, FLOORS, ETC BEFORE BINDER MATERIAL
    HARDENS. UNCURED BINDER IS WATER SOLUBLE. AS BINDER CURES IT
    BECOMES LESS SOLUBLE IN WATER & REQU IRES THE USE OF ORGANIC
    SOLVENTS FOR CLEAN UP.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORAGE OF PRODUCT IN HOT, CONFINED
    AREAS WITH LITTLE AIR CIRCULATION PROMOTES POLYMERIZATION OF THE
    PHENOLIC RESIN BINDER.
Other Precautions:POLYMERIZATION LIBERATES HEAT. STORE MATL AT TEMPS AS
    PROLONG USEFUL STORAGE LIFE. KEEP PLASTIC COVERING TIGHTLY SEALED
    TO PREVENT L OSS OF MOISTURE.

    EXPOS IN HOME, COMME RCIAL BUILDINGS, & MFG FACILITIES ARE
    GENERALLY FOUND TO BE WELL BELOW 1 FIBER/CC. INSTALLERS &
