PINKBAR IN INDUSTRIAL DRIVEWAY

™

FIBERGLASS BAR VS STEEL REINFORCING BAR

Location: M3 Fab & Powder Coating 2 Bader St. Bloomfield, IA 52537

Project Overview The project is a simple concrete pour of an industrial driveway with dimensions 30’ x 60’ with rebar 2’ on center running each way. PINKBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar was used as alternative to steel rebar. Approximately 1000 20-foot bars of PINKBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar were used. PINKBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar is twice as strong compared to steel reinforcements which enabled a smaller diameter, #3 or 3/8” sized PINKBAR™ Fiberglas™ Rebar, in place of #4 or 1/2” steel rebar.

Project Findings Greater Ease of Use • Lighter weight, 7x lighter • ~2,140 lbs compared to 13,340 lbs for steel • Easier to cut • Easier to carry due to smaller packs inside the master bundles • Cleaner to work • Less fatigue on three-man crew Installation Cost Savings • Significant time savings to place bars • Minimal maintenance on projects due to no rust

Other Information

May cause skin abrasion in case of direct manual handling When being cut or grinded these products may release dust (Particles Not Otherwise Regulated), See Section 8 for Exposure Limit Data.

3. COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS Comments

Fiberglass Rebars are made of ca. 70 - 80% (w/w) of Continuous Filament Glass Fibers and ca. 20 - 30% (w/w) of cured thermoset resin and mineral filler, which incudes, for some products, a sand coating. They are available in the form of cylindric rebars, of several nominal diameters and lengths.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Product Information

Under normal conditions of use no health effect is anticipated.

Dusts and fibers may cause temporary skin and mucous membranes itching due to mechanical abrasion effect of fibers. Mechanical abrasion is not considered as a health hazard in the meaning of the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Inhalation may cause coughing, nose and throat irritation and sneezing. High exposures may cause difficult breathing, congestion and chest tightness

Components Information

Continuous filament glass fibers are not respirable according to the World Health

_____________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 / 5

OCCM10051 - Fiberglass Rebar Revision Date 23-Sep-2019 _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Organization (WHO) definition. Respirable fibers have a diameter (d) smaller than 3µm, a length (l) larger than 5µm and a l/d-ratio larger than or equal to 3. Fibers with diameters greater than 3 microns, which is the case for continuous filament glass fiber, do not reach the lower respiratory tract and, therefore have no possibility of causing serious pulmonary disease. Continuous filament glass fibers do not possess cleavage planes which would allow them to split length-wise into fibers with smaller diameters, rather they break across the fiber, resulting in fibers which are of the same diameter as the original fiber with a shorter length and a small amount of dust. Microscopic examination of dust from highly chopped and pulverised glass demonstrated the presence of small amounts of respirable dust particles. Among these respirable particles, some were fiber-like in terms of l/d ratio ( socal l ed“ shar ds” ) .I tcanbecl ear l yobser v edhowev ert hatt heyar enotr egul arshaped fibers but irregular shaped particles with fiber-like dimensions. To the best of our knowledge, the exposure levels of these fiber-like dust particles measured at our manufacturing plants are of the order of magnitude between 50 to 1000 below existing applicable limits Continuous filament glass fibers are classified as A4 - Not Classifiable as a Human ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) Carcinogen IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer)

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in June, 1987, and in October, 2001( seeI ARCMonogr aphsont heEv al uat i onofCar ci nogeni cr i skst ohumans– ManmadeVi t r eousFi ber s–Vol ume81) ,cat egor i zedcont i nuousf i l amentf i bergl assasnot classifiable with respect to human carcinogenicity (Group 3). The evidence from human as well as animal studies was evaluated by IARC as insufficient to classify continuous filament fiber glass as a confirmed, probable or even possible cancer causing material

NTP (National Toxicology Program) Continuous filament glass fibers are not listed in the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Report on Carcinogens (latest edition) Continuous filament glass fibers are not listed in the Table of harmonized classification Classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 [CLP] entries in Annex VI to CLP Regulation.
