SECTION I - IDENTITY |
Product Name or Identification: NF-751
Product Description: "Paper" Friction Material
for use in Wet Brake Applications
This is a resin bonded non-woven fibrous product which does not
contain asbestos. When used as intended, this product meets the
OSHA definition of an article and is exempt from the Hazard Communication
Standard. A potential for exposure to dust when grinding, drilling,
milling, etc. exists and therefore all information contained within
should be followed.
Materials listed on this data sheet are contained in this product.
Exact percentages are proprietary and confidential and will not
be disclosed other than as required in accordance with the regulations.
The data sheet is not part of any contract or sale. While the
information and recommendations set forth herein are believed
to be accurate, Motion Control Industries makes no warranty with
respect thereto and disclaims all liability from reliance thereon.
All applicable and aforementioned standards and specifics must
be consulted for specific requirements, recommendations and controls. |

| The listed components are each part of a resin
bonded system. The product is formed into specified shapes. The
composite of the listed chemical items has formed a chemically bound
product which no longer necessarily exhibits the chemical properties
of the above ingredients when used as a friction material. |
SECTION III - HEALTH HAZARD DATA |
- TLV: Non-asbestos containing friction materials are not currently
regulated by OSHA, NIOSH. and ACGIH. When handled properly,
the material does not present a known health risk. Necessary
precautions should be practiced to avoid creating uncontrolled
dust when grinding, drilling or other machine work. See Section
IV.
- Carcinogenicity:
- NTP - No
- IARC - No
- OSHA - No
- Signs and symptoms of exposure to dust: Itching may develop
on exposed skin. Dryness of the throat and shortness of breath
indicates overexposure to the generated dust.
- Medical conditions generally effected by exposure: Long term
may lead to coughing and reduced lung capacity.
- Emergency and First Aid Procedures: Should not be required
from reasonable handling of product.
- Hazardous Ingredient Health Hazards: Aluminum oxide, barium
sulfate, glass fibers, brass, and phenolic resins. Dust can
cause skin, eye, respiratory, and physical irritation. Prolonged
overexposure to the dust perhaps may lead to pneumoconiosis
and pulmonary problems.
- Exposure limits, specified ingredients (See Section II): Exposure
to dusts below the shown limits will substantially reduce the
risk that employees will experience respiratory and physical
effects when exposed to the dust generated when grinding, drilling,
etc. the resin bonded material.
- Routes of Entry:
- Inhalation - Yes
- Skin - Yes
- Ingestion - No
- Long-Term Effects - Lung problems may result if exposed to
dust levels above current suggested level over a prolonged term.
|
SECTION IV - CONTROL MEASURES |
| Respiratory Protection: NIOSH approved for
pneumoconiosis and fibrosis producing dusts with TLV's not less
than 0.05 mg/mŽ. Such as 3M8710. Follow respirator standard 1910.34.
Local Exhaust - Per ANSI 29.2-1971 recommended to avoid contact
with dust
Mechanical (General) - remove dust with vacuum
Protective Gloves: As Needed
Eye Protection: OSHA Approved safety glasses
Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Protective sleeves, creams
for employees with sensitive skin.
Work/Hygienic Practices: Proper work practices and methods should
be followed when handling product. Employees should be instructed
on the use of the control methods as outlined above. Employees
should not remove dust using compressed air. |
SECTION V - PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND USE |
Steps To Be Taken in Case Material Is Released
or Spilled: Avoid creating dust. Avoid sweeping or otherwise generating
airborne particulate. Use approved vacuum methods. Use wet methods
for cleaning or removing dust from drums. Do not use compressed
air. Avoid breathing dust. Use respirator if dust becomes airborne.
Waste Disposal Method: Follow Local, State, and Federal waste
disposal regulations. Properly mark all containers with appropriate
labeling and dispose in landfill in compliance with regulations.
Precautions To Be Taken in Handling and Storing: Avoid creating
excessive dust. Use dust collection if grinding, drilling or altering
product in any way.
Other Precautions: Protective creams and sleeves may be necessary
for employees with sensitive skin. Clean up using soap and water
prior to eating. Wash clothing separately. |
