SECTION IV - FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA
FLASH POINT: NA METHOD USED: FLAMMABLE LIMITS:
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:NA
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Use extinguishing media that is appropriate for the classification of the surrounding fire. Inorganic glass is non-combustible .
EXPLOSION POTENTIAL: Possibility of flying glass fragments if hot glass comes in contact with water or carbon dioxide extinguishing media.

SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE (EO) OR FIRST AID (FA):
INHALATION: Acute: Upper respiratory tract irritation. Chronic: Possible mild-pneumoconiosis Remove from exposure, seek medical attention
INGESTION: Boron poisoning can cause depression of circulation, persistent vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases shock and coma. Also possible severe irritation. Seek medical attention
SKIN: Sodium oxide can be irritating to the skin Wash with soap and water
EYE: Possible irritation Flush well with running water, get medical attention if irritation persist
GENERAL FIRST AID:

SECTION VI - SPILL, LEAK & DISPOSAL
1. Spill, Leak Procedures: No special precautions

2. Disposal Method: Follow Federal, State and Local Regulations

3. Use non-dust method: Use a vacuum cleaner and/or a damp disposable cloth or rag to wipe up spill.

SECTION VII - SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
  1. Local Exhaust: Use local exhaust ventilation, hood or equipment to avid dispersal of fibrous or other glass into the workspace air.
  2. Personal Equip.- Respirator - If dust or particulate are above the OSHA permissible exposure limits us a NIOSH approved
  3. Eye Protection- Industrial safety glasses that meet ANSI Z-81 standard.
  4. Protective Gloves - Recommend gloves for protection from sharp edges

SECTION VIII - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS & COMMENTS
Reactivity: This is stable material. Glass is inert to many chemicals but may react to hot, strong alkaline solutions and with hydrofluoric and phosporic acids. Hazardous decomposition or byproducts may occur. The material may emit metal oxide fumes when heat to high temperatures.
