Medical Conditions Possibly
Aggravated by Exposure:

Hold eyelids open and flush with a steady, gentle stream of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate
medical attention, preferably with an ophthalmologist.
Immediately wipe excess material off skin with a dry cloth then wash with soap and water for at least 5 minutes.
In case of inhalation due to spray mist, machining dust or dried particulate, remove source of exposure andassure that victim is breathing. If not breathing, administer cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Use with adequate ventilation. Keep containers closed. Safety shower and eyewash fountain should be within
direct access.
This product is not considered respirable in either the liquid or cured forms. However, if the cured product ispolished, ground or chipped during processing, handling or use, powders may be released as airborne
respirable particles. In these instances, appropriate personal protection equipment and local ventilation controls
must be employed. If exposure limits are exceeded and local ventilation is unavailable, a supplied-air respirator
or a self-contained NIOSH-approved dust and mist respirator is required.
Wear body-covering protective clothing and gloves.
Wear chemical goggles.

Acute Toxicity:

Component: CAS No. 142844-00-6, Alumina-Silica Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF)

Toxicokinetics, Metabolism& Distribution:

Basic Toxicokinetics
Exposure is predominantly by inhalation or ingestion. Man made vitreous fibers of a similar size to RCF havenot been shown to migrate from the lung and/or gut and do not become located in other parts of the body.
When compared to many naturally occurring minerals, RCF has a low ability to persist and accumulate in thebody (half-life of long fibers (> 20- microns) in 3 week rat inhalation test is approximately 60 days.)
Human Toxicological Data
In order to determine possible human health effects following RCF exposure, the University of Cincinnati has
been conducting medical surveillance studies on RCF workers in the U.S. The Institute of OccupationalMedicine (IOM) has conducted medical surveillance studies on RCF workers in European manufacturingfacilities.
Pulmonary morbidity studies among production workers in Europe and USA have demonstrated an absence ofinterstitial fibrosis and no decrements in lung function associated with current exposures, but have indicated a
reduction of lung capacity among smokers.
A statistically significant correlation between pleural plaques and cumulative RCF exposure was evidenced in
the USA longitudinal study.
The USA mortality study did not show evidence of increased lung tumor development either in the lungparenchyma or in the pleura.

Information on Toxicological
Effects:

Acute Toxicity: Short Term Inhalation
No data available: Short term tests have been undertaken to determine fiber (bio) solubility rather than toxicity;repeat dose inhalation tests have been undertaken to determine chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity.
Acute Toxicity: OralNo data available: Repeated dose studies have been carried out using gavage. No effect was found.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation:
Not possible to obtain acute toxicity information due to the nature of the substance
Serious Eye Damage/Irritation:
Not possible to obtain acute toxicity information due to the nature of the substanceRespiratory or Skin Sensitization:
No evidence from human epidemiological studies of any respiratory or skin sensitization potential

None of the parenchymal tumor incidences were higher than the historical control values forthis strain of animal.
Inhalation. Single dose.
Rat
330 mg/m
Nose only inhalation
This study was designed to test the chronic toxicity and Carcinogenicity of RCF at extreme
exposures. Tumor incidence (incl. Mesothelioma) was raised at this dose level. Thepresence of overload conditions (only detected after the experiment was completed),
whereby the delivered dose exceeded the clearance capability of the lung, makes
meaningful conclusions in terms of hazard and risk assessment difficult.

Results:

Inhalation. Single dose.
Hamster
330 mg/m
Nose only inhalation
This low quality study in hamsters produced mesothelial lesions of uncertain significance.
Subsequent studies in hamsters with glass fibers indicated that the lung burdens of RCF in
this experiment were between 5 and 10 times more than that need to produce overload,
and the results are therefore difficult to interpret.
There are reports of injection studies with some similar materials. While someintraperitoneal injection studies reported the development of tumors in rats, the relationshipof these results to classification remains controversial.

Reproductive Toxicity:
Method:Gavage.
Species:
Rat
Dose:
250 mg/kg/day
Routes of Admin: OralResults:
No effects were seen in an OECD 421 screening study. There are no reports of any
reproductive toxic effects of mineral fibers. Exposure to these fibers is via inhalation andeffects seen are in the lung. Clearance of fibers is via the gut and the feces, so exposure of
the reproductive organs is extremely unlikely.

Irritant:

Negative results have been obtained in animal studies (EU method B 4) for skin irritation.
Inhalation exposures using the nose only route produce simultaneous heavy exposures tothe eyes, but no reports of excess eye irritation exist. Animals exposed by inhalation
similarly show no evidence of respiratory tract irritation. Human data confirm that only
mechanical irritation, resulting in itching, occurs in humans. Screening at manufacturer’s
plants has failed to sow any human cases of skin conditions related to fiber exposure.
