Muffle Dust Exposure
This furnace contains respirable refrac-
tory ceramic fibers (RCF) and crystalline
silica in its thermal muffle insulation.
These materials may be in the form of
fiber blanket or felt, vacuum formed
board or shapes, mineral wool slab or
loose fill fiber.
●
Normal use of the furnace does not
result in any significant level of air-
borne dust from these materials.
However, when it becomes necessary
to replace the muffle, the person
doing this maintenance and repair
work may be exposed to much higher
levels.
●
Given conflicting evidence of any long
term health hazards, we must recom-
mend that safety precautions are
taken whenever the materials are
handled by authorized repair personnel.
●
Exposure to dust from fiber which
has been used at high temperatures
may cause respiratory disease. When
handling fiber always use an OSHA or
NIOSH approved and HEPA filtered
respirator, eye protection, gloves and
long sleeved clothing.
●
Avoid breaking up waste material.
Dispose of fiber waste in sealed
containers.
●
After handling, rinse exposed skin
with water before washing gently
with soap (not detergent). Wash work
clothing separately.
●
Because this product and many
similar products on the market today
contain crystalline silica and ceramic
fibers, it is necessary under the
statutes of California Proposition 65
that the following statement be
included:
“This product contains substances
known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Material Safety Data
Sheets for RCF materials supplied
upon request.”
