The suitability of a gasket material for an
application is dependent upon a multiplicity of
factors as shown in the above digram. Max.
temperature and pressure values can not define the
suitability for application. It is always advisable to
consider these factors when selecting a material for
a given application .
This area refer , the gasket material is normally suitable
subject to chemical compatibility.
This area refer, the gasket material may be suitable but a
technical support is recommended.
This area refer, do not install the gasket without technical
evaluation.

2 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
* Asbestos is listed as a confirmed human carcinogen by IARC.
See Section 11: “Toxicological Properties” for potential health effects
3 - COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS
Ingredient Proportion
Rubber binder <15 %
Fibers <85 %
Inert inorganic fillers <10-15 %
Wire Mesh <10 %
.
4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact : Inert dust, rinse with water.
Skin Contact : Inert dust, wash with soap and water.
Inhalation : Asbestos is encapsulated in binder. If asbestos dust is created from the
product, inhalation may result in long term health effects.
Ingestion : Inert dust, not a hazard.
5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media Water, carbon dioxide, powder extinguishers, foam extinguishers
Hazards from Combustion Products In case of combustion, the same gases are produced as with
burning rubber. The following may be produced in case of
fire: Carbon monoxide; carbon dioxide; sulphur oxides; nitrous
gases (NOx); irritating/caustic, combustible as well as poisonous
carbonisation gases.
Precautions for Firefighters and
Special Protective Equipment Breathing apparatus and eye protection must be worn to protect
from dust, fumes and burning rubber
6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures Fire: See Section 5
Personal: See Section 4
Environmental: No known environmental hazards exist.
Methods and Materials for
Containment and Cleanup Approved vacuum cleaners with high efficiency filters (HEPA)
conforming to AS3544 or equivalent must be used to clean areas.
Additional In the case of improper use (see Section 8) fine dust may result. Adequate
suction and filtering of the exhaust air should be ensured.
7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Care must be taken as the material may have protruding wire that may cause
laceration. No special precautions necessary when handling the material in its finished
form as the synthetic mineral fibres are encapsulated in a rubber matrix. However,
whenever further processing of sheets/gaskets is undertaken, the potential for the
release of fibres exists.
Storage Store in cool dry location. Avoid sunlight and contact with oil and chemicals as this
will shorten the shelf life. Under acceptable conditions, no deterioration can be
expected for three/four years after which product loses flexibility but does not release
fibers.
8 - SPECIAL PROTECTION
When subject to operations that create dust levels higher than 10mg\m3 (Nuisance dust) use dust
Collection and /or dust respirator.
9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

This is stable material under normal use, handling, and storage conditions. Shelf life is measure
in years. In service avoid incompatible media .The importer can provide chemical resistance data upon
Written Request.
11 – TOXICOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
Route of Entry : Inhalation of asbestos dust has shown to cause cancer. Smokers have
an increased risk of lung cancer when exposed to asbestos. No
adverse effect in skin contact, eye contact or ingestion. Acute
Exposure : No immediate reaction to overexposure.
Chronic Exposure : Long term overexposure to asbestos dust may cause asbestosis, lung
cancer and mesothelioma of the pleura and peritoneum.
