Safety instructions

ies. The transport container shall be used only in an undamaged and unmodified condition.
The integrity of the transport container shall be checked before each use.
2.2
Information about PyroBubbles®
PyroBubbles®
are multi-cellular hollow glass spheres, which are not dangerous (dust is not
respirable) in their solid form (delivery condition). If PyroBubbles® are ground or pulverized
mechanically, continuous contact with high concentrations of respirable dust can impair lung
functioning. The general dust limits of 1.25 mg/m
3
for respirable (A dust) and 10 mg/m
3
for
inhalable (I dust) fractions must be observed. An individual time-weighted average must not
exceed the value of 3 mg/m
3
for the A-dust fraction. For details, refer to TRGS 900 (or respec-
tive nationally applicable technical rules for hazardous substances). If the dust concentration
at the place of work exceeds the specified occupational exposure limit values, approved and
suitable respiratory protection must be used (filter type P2).
It is recommended to wear eye protection in the case of dust formation, and to wear gloves in
the case of skin contact.
PyroBubbles® that no longer correspond to their condition at the time of delivery, must be
disposed of in accordance with the disposal instructions (see section 6) and shall not be used
further, because they no longer meet the requirements with respect to sorption capacity and
thermal insulation.
