1. Product and Supplier Identification / Product Hazard SummaryProduct: ORCA COMPOSITES BREATHER 4OZ AND 10OZ Product No: 1804001, 1804004

Trade Name: BREATHER

Supplier: Fiberlay Inc.24 S. Idaho St.Seattle, WA 98134(206) 782-0660

HEALTH:*CAUTION!*May be harmful if swallowed or inhaled*May be irritating to the skin eyes and respiratory tract*May cause allergic skin reaction*Heated material may cause thermal burns

FLAMMABILITY:*Warning! Flammable Liquid & Vapor

REACTIVITY:*Caution! Unstable at high temperatures

SPECIFIC HAZARD: --

2. CompositionORCA COMPOSITES Breather is a family of fiber products having similar hazard and physical property characteristics. These products are made from polyethylene terephthalate polymer (CAS# 25038-59-9) and one or more surface finishes applies at <1% total weight of fiber.

3. Hazards IdentificationThere are no known physical or health hazards associated with this product. In skin tests on human subjects, the fibers produced no irritation or sensitization.

The polymer immobilizes the constituents of the polymer system (delusterants, catalyst residues, et.) which, therefore, presents no likelihood of exposure under normal conditions of processing and handling.

However, exposure to chemical substances may occur as a result of processing these fibers. Processing may release and aerosolize the residual moisture and surface finishes. Heating the fibers may volatilize the residual moisture and surface finishes. Heating the fibers may volatilize the finishes or produce a chemical change. The manufacturer recommends a 3 mg/m³ 8-hour TWA exposure limit on finish mists.

4. First Aid MeasuresThere are no known physical or health hazards associated with this product. In skin tests on human subjects, the fibers produced no irritation or sensitization.

therefore, presents no likelihood of exposure under normal conditions of processing and handling.

However, exposure to chemical substances may occur as a result of processing these fibers. Processing may release and aerosolize the residual moisture and surface finishes. Heating the fibers may volatilize the residual moisture and surface finishes. Heating the fibers may volatilize the finishes or produce a chemical change. The manufacturer recommends a 3 mg/m³ 8-hour TWA exposure limit on finish mists.

5. Fire Fighting MeasuresORCA COMPOSITES Breather will burn if exposed to flame. Decomposition products generated from molten polymer may be subject to auto-ignition. Combustion products will be comprised of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The exact composition will depend on the conditions of combustion.

6. Accidental Release MeasuresThese products are not classified as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and, unless prohibited by state or local regulation, can be disposed of in a municipal landfill or incinerated. Any finish oils contained in plant waste water should be biological wastewater treatment systems.

7. Handling and StorageStore in a cool, dry well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

8. Exposure Controls, Personal ProtectionAdequate ventilation is recommended to maintain finish mist levels below 3 mg/m³ 8-hour TWA.

Customary personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands after working with such fibers, are recommended.

Use of safety glasses and gloves and standing to one side when cutting bale wires is advised.

9. Physical and Chemical Properties

Polyethylene terephthalate is chemically stable and resistant to attack by oils, solvent, weak acids and weak alkalis. The polymer melts at about 500˚F.

10. Stability and ReactivityExposure to chemical substances may occur as a result of processing these fibers. Processing may release and aerosolize the residual moisture and surface finishes. Heating the fibers may volatilize the residual moisture and surface finishes. Heating the fibers may volatilize the finishes or produce a chemical change. The manufacturer recommends a 3 mg/m³ 8-hour TWA exposure limit on finish mists.

11. Toxicological InformationResults from toxicity studies suggest that these fibers would pose no significant health problems under normal conditions of handling and use.

13. Disposal ConsiderationsDispose of product according to local, state and federal laws.

14. Transport InformationNo data is available.

15. Regulatory InformationNo data is available.

16. Other InformationCalifornia Proposition 65 involving warnings of the presence of certain listed chemicals is now in effect.

ORCA Composites believes the law requires us to inform you that detectable amounts of any of the listed chemicals might be present in ORCA products. Based on a review of the list, ORCA products, like all synthetic and naturally occurring chemical substances, may conceivably contain trace contaminants of some of the listed substances. While not necessarily added to our products as ingredients, some of the listed chemicals may be present in the raw materials as received from suppliers over which we have no control.

In order to comply with the California Law, even though some of the listed substances may not represent a significant risk as defined by the regulations, we feel obligated to make the following statement:

“Warning: This product may contain trace amounts of some chemicals considered by the State of California to be carcinogens or reproductive Toxicants.”
