HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: Friction materials are not normally considered hazardous, however, toxic and irritating materials may be relased in a fire. POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS Inhalation and eye effects refer to dusts that may be produced dining grinding and other processing. Brake drums and disc pads do not present a hazard by these routes during normal installation and use. SKIN: Some persons may be sensitive to partially cured phenolic or cashew resins and develop dermatitis-like reactions similar to poison ivy. EYES: Exposure to dust may cause eye irritation. MSDS Number: HFMG0100 Current Issue Date: May, 2001 :A Page 1 of 9 Generic_Asbestos.doc HWCPI0000010 Honeywell MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Friction Materials Containing Asbestos INHALATION: Irritation or soreness in throat, nose and respiratory tract. INGESTION: Not an anticipated route of entry. DELAYED EFFECTS: Medical literature indicates that no adverse health effects have been associated with exposure to or the proper use of asbestos-containing friction materials. However, the inhalation of concentrations of airborne asbestos fibers in excess of OSHA limits may cause serious bodily harm, such as asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma. These diseases may not be recognized until many years after exposure. Medical literature indicates that people who smoke are at significantly increased health risk when working with airborne asbestos fibers. Carbon black is listed as an animal carcingen by the International Agency for Reseach on Cancer (LARC). However, there is no evidence of any human cancer associated with it's handling and use. Prolonged overexposure to carbon black has been associated with reduced lung function in some workers, however, carbon black when encapsulated in solid friction materials has not been associated with any adverse lung effects Ingredients found on one of the OSHA designated carcinogen lists are listed below.

Subsequent processing (arcing, grinding, drilling or chamfering) may create a potential for the release of asbestos-containing dust or airborne fiber to the atmosphere (e.g. from your dust collection system if you grind our product) or to a landfill (e.g. if you dispose of wetted or pelletized grinding dust or drill chips). If they are of sufficient quantities, you may be required to report such "Releases" on EPA Form "R". WHMIS CLASSIFICATION (CANADA): This article is not a controlled product unless physically altered (i.e. drilling, grinding, chamfering, etc.). FOREIGN INVENTORY STATUS: Not determined. 16. OTHER INFORMATION CURRENT ISSUE DATE: May, 2001 PREVIOUS ISSUE DATE: None CHANGES TO MSDS FROM PREVIOUS ISSUE DATE ARE DUE TO THE FOLLOWING: New MSDS. OTHER INFORMATION: 1. Always follow the "Work Practices and Engineering Controls for Brake and Clutch Inspection, Disassembly, Repair and Assembly - Mandatory" (29 CFR 1910.1001, Appendix F). Although some friction materials used for brake service still contain asbestos, most suppliers are replacing asbestos with steel, mineral, and/or synthetic fibers. Because long term medical effects of these fibers are unknown, it is suggested that exposure levels be controlled for all replacement friction materials. 2. Whenever possible, purchase friction materials that are preground and ready for installation. If machining is necessary, there is a possibility that the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for one or more ofthe ingredients in the friction material may be exceeded. Local exhaust ventilation must be provided so that worker exposures are maintained below the PEL. Local exhaust ventilation consists of dust collection hoods or enclosures connected by ductwork or piping to a pollution control device. 3. In certain grinding operations where concentrations cannot be reduced below the PEL, a respirator program should be implemented. Respirators also may be required dining certain maintenance, start-up or emergency situations where engineering controls cannot maintain concentrations below the PEL. 4. Good housekeeping is essential in a workplace where friction materials are handled. Vacuums equipped with High Efficiency ParticulateXHEPA) filters should be used to remove accumulations of friction dusts and wastes. Never use compressed air or dry sweeping for cleaning. 5. Good personal hygiene practices are important in minimizing dust exposures. Do not smoke. Wash before eating. If the PEL is exceeded, protective equipment should be worn. Change into work clothes upon arrival at work and change from work clothes at conclusion of work.
