Product Handling and Safety Information 

Protective gloves, clothing, and mask are recommended for product handling

Airborne fiber dust should always be kept down ï Ceramic fiber may cause itching and irritation to skin and eyes by contact ï If inhaled in sufficient amount of ceramic fiber, it may cause irritation to respiratory tract, scratchiness of the nose or throat, cough or chest discomfort 

Ceramic fiber is classified in Group 2b (possible human carcinogen) by IARC Based on animal study, it is a possible cancer hazard by prolonged heavy inhalation of this fiber. (In animal studies, long-term laboratory exposure to doses hundreds of times higher than normal occupational exposures has produced fibrosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma in rats or hamsters. The fibers used in those studies were specially sized to maximize rodent respirability)
