Environmental Effects: Carbon fiber is electrically conductive, and it can cause the short-circuiting
of electrical equipment.
Inhalation
Move to fresh air and wash inside mouth with water. If dizzy or unbalanced seek medical attention as
soon as possible.
Skin Contact
No special measures requested.
Eye Contact
Wash eyes with an excessive amount of water immediately for no less than 15 minutes. If contacts
are being used, remove the lens and flush the eyes again with water for an additional
5 to 10 minutes. If the eyes feel uncomfortable or have prickling feeling, seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth with fresh water. Then drink two or three glasses of water. Induce vomiting by
touching the finger to the back of the throat. Then seek medical attention as soon as possible.
No kind of substance must be orally given to the unconsicious person.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
pressure demand (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Fight fires from a
safe distance or protected areas. Fire hoses with fog nozzles may be used for controlling fires but
care must be exercised not to spread flaming. Water may not always be effective for large fires.
Extinguishing Media: This material is not expected to burn in a fire. If this product is present in a
fire, fight fire based on the presence of flammable materials.

Handling : Touching Carbon Fiber directly can cause transient skin irritation. Hold the paper tube
while handling bobbins.
Storage : Storage in a cool , dry place. Wash hands with soap and water after handling. Wear
appropriate protective clothing as described in section 8 during handling activities.
Respiratory/Protection: Normal use and processing of this product are not expected to generate
carbon fiber dust. Respirable fibers of this product under certain very limited circumstances can be
generated. In such circumstances, HEPA respiratory protection should be used to prevent exposure.
Protective Gloves: Latex gloves should be worn when handling this product. Rinse and remove
gloves after use, and wash hand thoroughly with soap and water. Gloves should be removed and
replaced if there are any signs of degradation or breakthrough.
Protective Clothing: Wear protective clothing to minimize the potential for skin contact. An
emergency shower should be readily accessible. Discard any clothing that has become
contaminated.
Eye protection: Wear safety goggles or glasses when handling or processing this product in any
form.
Exposure Guidelines:OSHA and ACGIH have not established air contaminant limits for carbon
fibers. Under certain conditions, this substance may be a nuisance dust. OSHA has an established
standard for particulates not otherwise regulated (nuisance dust) set at 5 mg/m3 (respirable fraction)
and 15 mg/m3 (total dust). ACGIH has established an exposure value of 3 mg/m3 (respirable
fraction) and 10 mg/m3 (inhalable fraction) for particulates not otherwise classified.
Ventillation: Local extract ventillation is recommended where dust and fly are generated by cutting
or processing carbon fiber.Ventillation filter is required to prevent dust and fly from being discharged
into open air.

determine at the time of disposal whether a material containing the product or derived from the product
should be classified as a hazardous waste.In case of disposal, this product must be treated as
industrial waste, separated from public waste.
Special Instructions: This product should not be incinerated. This product should not be incinerated.
Carbon fiber can not be incinerated well by a general incinerator, and the fibrous fragments, which may
be generated by insufficient incineration, may cause the short-circuiting of electrical equipment.
This product is not regulated as dangerous or hazardous goods under ADR, RID, DOT, IMO, ICAO,

2- HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Inhalation: Inhalation exposure to respirable fibers of this product is not expected to occur under
normal industrial conditions. Under very limited circumstances, however, exposure to respirable
fibers from exposure to sizing present on the carbon fiber.
Skin: May cause skin irritation. Mechanical irritation may occur from carbon fiber abrading or
becoming imbedded in the skin.
Eyes: Fragments of this product may cause mechanical eye irritation. Chemical irritation may occur
of this product can occur and may result in respiratory tract irritation.
Ingestion: Not expected to occur during industrial activities since ingestion is not a
relevant route of exposure.
Environmental Effects: Carbon fiber is electrically conductive, and it can cause the short-circuiting
of electrical equipment.

Inhalation
Move to fresh air and wash inside mouth with water. If dizzy or unbalanced seek medical attention as
soon as possible.
Skin Contact
No special measures requested.
Eye Contact
Wash eyes with an excessive amount of water immediately for no less than 15 minutes. If contacts
are being used, remove the lens and flush the eyes again with water for an additional
5 to 10 minutes. If the eyes feel uncomfortable or have prickling feeling, seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
Ingestion
Rinse mouth with fresh water. Then drink two or three glasses of water. Induce vomiting by
touching the finger to the back of the throat. Then seek medical attention as soon as possible.
No kind of substance must be orally given to the unconsicious person.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
pressure demand (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Fight fires from a
safe distance or protected areas. Fire hoses with fog nozzles may be used for controlling fires but

care must be exercised not to spread flaming. Water may not always be effective for large fires.
Extinguishing Media: This material is not expected to burn in a fire. If this product is present in a
fire, fight fire based on the presence of flammable materials.
Measures For Handling Personnel: Chopped carbon fiber may be slippery. If spilled, it might cause
an accident risk.
Measures For Environmental Effects : No special measures required.
Handling : Touching Carbon Fiber directly can cause transient skin irritation. Hold the paper tube
while handling bobbins.
Exposure control for handling personnel : No special measures necessary if used correctly
Protective measures against fire and explosion : : Dust can form an explosive mixture with air.
Keep away from sources of ignition-refrain from smoking
Storage : Storage in a cool , dry place. Wash hands with soap and water after handling. Wear
appropriate protective clothing as described in section 8 during handling activities.
Respiratory/Protection: Normal use and processing of this product are not expected to generate
carbon fiber dust. Respirable fibers of this product under certain very limited circumstances can be
generated. In such circumstances, HEPA respiratory protection should be used to prevent exposure.
Protective Gloves: Latex gloves should be worn when handling this product. Rinse and remove
gloves after use, and wash hand thoroughly with soap and water. Gloves should be removed and
replaced if there are any signs of degradation or breakthrough.
Protective Clothing: Wear protective clothing to minimize the potential for skin contact. An
emergency shower should be readily accessible. Discard any clothing that has become
contaminated.
A PPE hazard analysis of the chopped carbon fiber should be conducted based on the user
processes.
Eye protection: Wear safety goggles or glasses when handling or processing this product in any
form.
Exposure Guidelines: OSHA and ACGIH have not established air contaminant limits for carbon

standard for particulates not otherwise regulated (nuisance dust) set at 5 mg/m3 (respirable fraction)
and 15 mg/m3 (total dust). ACGIH has established an exposure value of 3 mg/m3 (respirable

High life-time exposures of tetrahydrofuran induced liver tumors in female mice by a non-genotoxic
mode of action. At exposures that do not produce sustained liver injury, tumor development is of low
concern. Increased kıdney tumors in male rats occured by a mode of action not relevant for human
health.
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for General Industry : 200 ppm, 590 mg/m3 TWA
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
200 ppm, 590 mg/m3 TWA; 250 ppm, 737 mg/m3 STEL; BEI
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Recommended Exposure Limit (REL):
200 ppm, 590 mg/m3 TWA; 250 ppm, 735 mg/m3 STEL
Ventillation: Local extract ventillation is recommended where dust and fly are generated by cutting
or processing carbon fiber.Ventillation filter is required to prevent dust and fly from being discharged
into open air.
