PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Eye Protection:
In case of overhead work, wear goggles or safety glasses with side shields to prevent eye contact.
Skin Protection:
Wear gloves, head coverings and full body clothing as necessary to prevent skin irritation.
Respiratory Protection:
When effective engineering and/or administrative controls are insufficient, the use of appropriate respiratory
protection, pursuant to the requirements of OSHA 1910.134, is recommended. For dust concentrations below
applicable exposure limit value, PPE is not required. The evaluation of workplace hazards and the identification of
appropriate respiratory protection is best performed on a case by case basis, by a qualified Industrial Hygienist.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
EPIDEMIOLOGY
This product has not been the subject of epidemiological study. Epidemiological studies related to other fiber
chemistries of similar solubility have not identified a statistically significant incidence of exposure-related
respiratory disease.
TOXICOLOGY
This product has been the subject of limited testing.
A review of available scientific literature suggests an inverse relationship between dissolution rate and potential
health effects; i.e. the higher the dissolution rate of a fiber the lower its potential to produce health effects. The
dissolution rate of Solulite™ fiber has been determined through standardized
in vitro
testing. The dissolution rate of
Solulite™ fibers is higher than that of other fiber types that have been tested in chronic animal studies and did not
produce respiratory disease.
This product possesses a fiber chemistry within the regulatory (European Commission Directive 97/69/EC)
definition as a "man-made vitreous (silicate) fiber with random orientation with alkaline oxide and alkaline earth
oxide (Na2O + K2O + CaO + MgO + BaO) content greater than 18% by weight". Solulite™ fibers have been tested
