Safety Data Sheet
Material Name: Shingle and Roll Roofing Products
Issue Date: 02/10/15 Page 4 of 7
Solubility in other solvents: Not applicable
Partition coefficient (n-octanol/water): Not applicable
VOC content (%): Not applicable
Viscosity: Not applicable
Section 10 - Chemical Stability & Reactivity Information
Stability: The material is a stable solid at normal usage temperatures.
Polymerization: Will not occur.
Hazardous decomposition products: The decomposition products from this material are those that would be
expected from any organic (carbon-containing) material, and are mainly derived from burning of the resins and
binders. These decomposition products may include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide & carbon particles.
Materials to avoid: None.
Conditions to avoid: Excessive heat, excessive mechanical handling outside the normal usage that would
generate dust.
Section 11 - Toxicological Information
Acute and Chronic Toxicity:
EXPOSURE LIMITS: Reference: “Guide to Occupational Exposure Values 2000, Compiled by ACGIH®”
GLASS FIBERS: CAS 65997-17-3; Listed as Synthetic Vitreous Fibers – Continuous filament glass fibers
OSHA: 1-f/cc (fiber per cubic centimeter), proposed.
ACGIH: 1-f/cc TWA for fibers longer than 5µm with a diameter < 3µm; 5-mg/m3 TWA inhalable particulate.
NIOSH: 5-mg/m3, or 3-f/cc TWA (for fibers <=3.5µm diameter; and >=10µm length)
CALCIUM CARBONATE: CAS 471-34-1
OSHA: 15-mg/m3 total dust; 5-mg/m3 respirable fraction
ACGIH: 10-mg/m3
NIOSH: 10-mg/m3 total dust; 5-mg/m3 respirable fraction

LD50/LC50 For Chemicals, Which May Be Released During Use
B: Component Analysis - LD50/LC50
CALCIUM CARBONATE: CAS 471-34-1:
Oral LD50 Rat : 6450 mg/kg
GLASS FIBERS: CAS 65997-17-3:
Chronic Toxicity: No chronic health effects are known to be associated with exposure to continuous filament
fiber glass. Results from epidemiologic studies have not shown any increases in respiratory disease or cancer.
Carcinogenicity:
A: General Product Information
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified continuous filament fiber glass as a
Group 3 substance, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. Because of the large diameter of
continuous filament fibers, these products are not considered respirable.
B: Component Carcinogenicity
GLASS FIBERS: CAS 65997-17-3:
IARC: Monograph 43; 1988: Group 3 (not classifiable)
ACGIH: A4 – Not Classifiable as a Human Carcinogen
CALCIUM CARBONATE: CAS 471-34-1: None
