Under the requirements
of the above Acts, we can provide you with
information regarding the storage, handling,
use and potential health hazard of the following
IG Doors product:-
IG
FIBREGLASS DOORS
IG fibreglass doors
are constructed from two glass reinforced
polymer skins permanently bonded to a rigid
polyurethane injected core and glued to
timber/PVC stiles and top rail and a polyvinyl-chloride
composite bottom rail. The surface is primed
with a water based base coat. The solid
polyurethane core gives the door thermal
and sound insulation properties as well
as excellent dimensional stability. Doors
will not split, bow, warp or crack.
The dust from the
cutting or sanding of the doors may cause
respiratory problems and irritation to eyes
with possible skin irritation due to fibreglass
fibres. Suitable personal protective equipment
should be worn, to include mask, glasses
and gloves when sanding or cutting the doors
to avoid the inhalation of dust and skin
contact with the fibres.
Doors should be handled
with care and stored in a suitable environment
to avoid damage to the finished product.
The weight of a door
unit may be in excess of 25kg. Suitable
handling arrangements and assessments should
be made available to reduce the risk associated
with manual handling.
No individual door
component, or a door unit as a whole, poses
a fire hazard during storage.
Fumes are only a
danger if the door has been involved in
a large-scale fire where smoke and fumes
are given off. The products of combustion
will be noxious, containing carbon dioxide,
hydrogen cyanide, acrolene, black smoke
and hydrocarbons.
