Are there any safety recommendations available for using Superwool 607 HT?
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is available for all forms of Superwool 607 HT as is required by European H&S regulations. For workers’ comfort, it is recommended that dust concentrations are kept as low as possible and below the applicable local exposure limit. General ventilation or another system preventing dust emission should be used. If dust exposure limits are exceeded, workers should be provided with appropriate and approved respiratory protective equipment. Consideration should be given to the following advice to users: Practical experience has shown that Superwool 607 HT fibre may cause temporary mechanical skin irritation (e.g. redness or itching). It is therefore recommended that gloves be worn by operators handling the fibres repeatedly, clothing should be loose around the neck and wrists and precautions be taken (as described above) to avoid breathing dust. After handling, exposed skin areas should be washed with water and work clothing should be washed separately.
