Product Information

The Safe Use Instruction Sheet provides information on the safe use of ISOVER ULTIMATE mineral wool, which is a man-made vitreous (silicate) fiber with random orientation and alkaline and alkali earth oxides content greater than 18% by weight. The product is recommended for thermal, acoustic, and/or fire insulation purposes. The product is manufactured by Saint-Gobain ISOVER G+H AG and is not classified as a hazardous substance or mixture. However, dust from the product may cause temporary skin itching due to coarse fibers.

Product Usage Instructions

Inhalation: If inhaled, remove from exposure and provide fresh air. Rinse throat and blow nose to clear dust.
Skin Contact: In case of skin contact, wash skin gently with cold water and soap.
Eye Contact: If the product comes in contact with eyes, do not rub eyes. Rinse gently and abundantly with water. If necessary, seek medical advice.
Ingestion: If ingested, drink plenty of water.
If first aid measures do not provide relief or discomfort continues, seek medical advice.

Note:
that the product may contain small quantities of water-repellent additives, coupling agent, adhesives, and/or facing, depending on the application. It is recommended to follow the handling instructions provided in sections 7 and 8 of the Safe Use Instruction Sheet when using ISOVER ULTIMATE mineral wool products.

Measures

First aid measures

Description of first aid measures
- In case of inhalation: Remove from exposure and provide for fresh air. Rinse throat and blow nose to clear dust.
- In case of skin contact: Wash skin gently with cold water and soap.
- In case of eye contact: Do not rub eyes, rinse gently and abundantly with water, if necessary, call on medical advice.
- In case of ingestion: Drink plenty of water.
  If first aid measures don’t produce relief or discomfort continues, call on medical advice.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Mineral wool products may cause temporary itching on skin, eyes or mouth due to the well-known mechanical effect of coarse fibers.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
None required. If first aid measures don’t produce relief or discomfort continues, call on medical advice.

Firefighting measures

Extinguishing media
- Suitable extinguishing media: Water, foam,
- carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry powder Unsuitable extinguishing media: None.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
None.
Advice for firefighters
The unfaced products are non-combustible, some facings may however be combustible. The packaging materials are combustible. In large fires adapt the respiratory protection / breathing apparatus to the surroundings.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
In case of high concentrations of dust, use the personal protective equipment as mentioned in section 8.
Environmental precautions
None.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Put bigger pieces in suitable plastic bags by hand. For small quantities and dust use a suitable vacuum cleaner or sweep up after water spray.
Reference to other sections
- Personal precautions: Section 8
- Disposal: Section 13.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Avoid unnecessary handling of unwrapped product. Use preferably a knife for cutting. If a power tool is used, it must be equipped with efficient air suction. Ensure adequate ventilation of workplace. See also section 8. Do not eat or drink in work areas. In case of sensible skin use protective cream after cleaning.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
- Storage conditions: Store in original packaging; keep dry and protected against mechanical damage. FIFO method is recommended.
- Incompatible materials: None
- Packaging: Products are packed in polyethylene film and / or cardboard on wooden or EPS pallets.
Specific end use
Not relevant.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters
No specific limit values given in the EU. Please respect your national laws and regulations.
Germany: Common occupational exposure limit for dust (TRGS 900):
1,25 mg/m³, alveolar
10 mg/m³, respirable
Exposure controls
- Eye protection:
  Wear goggles when working overhead. Eye protection to EN 166 is recommended.
- Skin protection:
  Cover exposed skin. When working in unventilated area wear disposable face mask. Use gloves (acc. EN 388) to avoid itching.
- Respiratory protection:
  When working in unventilated area or during operations which can generate emission of any dust, wear a disposable face mask (FFP1 acc. EN 149). When insulation wool is heated above 150°C for the first time(s), the thermal decomposition of the organic binder starts. Local ventilation should be provided, and if needed wear breathing apparatus. Depending on the service temperature and the installation situation the release of the thermal decomposition gases ends within a few hours /days.

Additional information

The following informations are printed on the packaging of the ISOVER ULTIMATE mineral wool products:

Ventilate working area if possible.
Wear goggles when working overhead.
Clean area using vacuum equipment.
Cover exposed skin. When working in unventilated area wear disposable face mask.
