Information about PyroBubbles®
PyroBubbles®
are multi-cellular hollow glass spheres, which are not hazardous in their solid
form (delivery condition). 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 respective nationally applicable technical rules for hazardous substances). If the dust con-
centration at the place of work exceeds the specified occupational exposure limit values, ap-
proved and suitable respiratory protection must be used (recommended protection class
FFP2).
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

) and shall not be used further, because they no longer meet
the requirements with respect to sorption capacity and thermal insulation.
