SECTION 1: PRODUCT AND COMPANY IDENTIFICATION
PRODUCT NAME: Thermo-Lite Board
SYNONYMS: Fiber-Reinforced Polyurethane Products
MANUFACTURER: SpaceAge Synthetics, LTD.
ADDRESS: 1402 39th Street NW, Fargo, North Dakota 58102 U.S.A.
PHONE: (701)-277-5631
FAX PHONE: (701)-277-5689
PRODUCT USE: Used in the transportation, marine, and building industry for endless coring applications that require a water resisitant, lightweight, high
strength material.
SECTION 2: HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Stable under normal conditions, but if cutting, sanding, or machining this product it may generate dust. Dust may cause upper
respiratory tract, lung, eye, nasal, and skin irritation.
ROUTES OF ENTRY: skin, eye, inhalation, and ingestion
POTENTIAL HEALTH EFFECTS
EYES: Dust can cause short term mechanical eye irritation.
SKIN: Contact with the board or dust may produce itching and temporary irritation.
INGESTION: Under normal conditions this does not apply. May result in obstruction and temporary irritation of the digestive tract.
INHALATION: Cutting, sanding, or machining of this product may generate fiber and polyurethane dust which can cause short term upper respiratory
tract, lung, eye, nasal, and skin irritation.
CHRONIC HEALTH HAZARDS: In a repeated dose inhalation study, pulmonary lesions and two cancers were reported among a small number of rats exposed
to airborne concentrations of 3.6 and 20 mg/m polyurethane foam dust. A later study using larger numbers of animals did not show any effects, other than
inflammation, at concentrations as high as 20 mg/m . The significance of the results of the earlier study with respect to human exposure is unknown.
MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: Respiratory or skin conditions that are aggravated by mechanical irritants may be at
an increased risk for worsening from exposure to this product, especially from the dust created by this product.

SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES: Remove contact lenses. Flush eyes with large amounts of running water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, get medical attention immediately.
SKIN: Wash affected areas gently with mild soap and water. To avoid further irritation, avoid rubbing or scratching, this may force fibers into skin. If irritation
persists, contact physician. Always remove and launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
INGESTION: Ingestion of this product is unlikely. If it does occur it may result in obstruction get medical attention immediately.
INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Note to Physicians: Preexisting disorders of the following organs or organ systems may be aggravated by exposure to this material: skin, lung.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Not applicable for product in purchased form. Pick up large pieces. To prevent obstruction, do not wash down drain.
Sweep or vacuum material into a waste container for disposal. If needed, use water spray to wet down and minimize dust generation. Wear approved
respirator, if necessary.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING AND STORAGE: No special handling procedures required for this material. In storage it should be kept away from excessive temperatures.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
VENTILATION : Provide local exhaust as necessary to meet OSHA requirements for dust exposure. Use wet methods, if appropriate, to reduce generation of
dust.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Wear OSHA approved respirator when permissible exposure limit to dust may be exceeded.
EYE PROTECTION: Recommend eye goggles or safety glasses for nuisance dust.
SKIN PROTECTION: Protective gloves or barrier creams may be used to reduce skin contact and irritation
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Loose fitting long sleeved shirt that covers to the base of the neck and long pants are recommended to
reduce skin contact and irritation.
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Remove product dust using vacuum equipment (never used compressed air). Always wash work clothes separately from
other clothes. Wipe out the washer or sink to prevent loose dust and glass fibers from getting on other clothes. Keep the work area clean of dusts released
during processing. Use vacuum equipment to clean up dust from processing. Avoid dry sweeping or using compressed air as the these techniques re-suspend
dust into the air. Have access to eye wash stations.

SECTION 10: STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
STABILITY: Stable
CONDITIONS TO AVOID (STABILITY): Reaction with a strong acid. Excessive heat and ignition sources.
INCOMPATIBILITY (MATERIAL TO AVOID): None
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION OR BY -PRODUCTS: CO, CO , HCN, ketones, ethers, and esters.
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION : Will not occur
SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
Polyurethane: As a solid product no toxicity is known. The accidental exposure to pyrolysis products caused from burning rigid polyurethane has caused
respiratory irritation and fever and constrictive pulmonary disease. Mice experimentally exposed to smoke from polyurethane showed extensive changes in the
lung surfactant metabolism.
Fiberglass Continuous Filament/Woven Roven: In June, 1987, IARC categorized fiberglass continuous filaments as not classifiable with respect to human
carcinogenicity. The evidence form human as well as animal studies was evaluated by IARC as insufficient to classify fiberglass continuous filament as a
possible, probable or confirmed cancer causing material. Continuous filament fibers are not considered respirable due to their large diameter
SECTION 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION: This material is an inorganic material, and therefore, is not biodegradable.
