5 Fire-fighting measures
Suitable fire extinguisher Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
Hazardous combustion products Fiberglass will not burn, but smoking of the product may occur at
approximately 400 -500 °F (approximately 200 - 260 °C) due to
decomposition of the surface binder. Surface binders may decompose in a
fire situation and release carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water.
Special exposure hazards Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident
if there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters Fiberglass itself will not support combustion, but in a
sustained fire, proper protection against products of
combustion from the fuel and sizing/binder must be worn.
Spill Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a designated, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor.
Hygiene measures Good personal hygiene and the use of barrier creams, caps, protective gloves, cotton
coveralls or long sleeved loose fitting clothing will maximize comfort.
