7. PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE PROTECTION:
Avoid eye contact. Wear safety glasses with side shields.
SKIN PROTECTION:
Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear appropriate gloves
when handling this material. Use one or more of the following
personal protection items as necessary to prevent skin contact:
coveralls.
RECOMMENDED VENTILATION:
Provide appropriate local exhaust when product is heated. Use in a
well-ventilated area. Provide sufficient ventilation to maintain

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EYE CONTACT:
Mechanical eye irritation: signs/symptoms can include irritation,
redness, scratching of the cornea and tearing.
SKIN CONTACT:
Mechanical skin irritation: signs/symptoms can include itching and
redness.
INHALATION:
Irritation (upper respiratory): signs/symptoms can include soreness
of the nose and throat, coughing and sneezing.
Vapors of heated material may cause respiratory system irritation.
IF SWALLOWED:
Ingestion is not a likely route of exposure to this product.
Irritation of Gastrointestinal Tissues: signs/symptoms can include
pain, vomiting, abdominal tenderness, nausea, blood in vomitus, and
blood in feces.
OTHER HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION:
Due to their large size (7-13 microns in diameter), these Nextel (TM)
Ceramic Fibers are considered non-respirable and therefore are not
expected to pose a cancer risk. Fibers are defined as respirable by
WHO convention if the length is larger than 5 microns and the
diameter is less than 3 microns with a length to diameter ratio
greater than 3:1.
