IARC and NTP did not evaluate after-service RCF, which may contain various crystalline phases.
However, an analysis of after-service RCF samples obtained pursuant to an exposure monitoring
agreement with the USEPA, found that in the furnace conditions sampled, most did not contain
detectable levels of crystalline silica. Other relevant RCF studies found that (1) simulated after-
service RCF showed little, or no, activity where exposure was by inhalation or by intraperitoneal
injection; and (2) after-service RCF was not cytotoxic to macrophage-like cells at concentrations
up to 320 g/cm
²
- by comparison, pure quartz or cristobalite were significantly active at much
lower levels (circa 20 g/cm
²
).
RCF AFTER-SERVICE REMOVAL
Respiratory protection should be provided in compliance with OSHA standards. During removal
operations, a full face respirator is recommended to reduce inhalation exposure along with eye
and respiratory tract irritation. A specific evaluation of workplace hazards and the identification of
appropriate respiratory protection is best performed, on a case by case basis, by a qualified
industrial hygiene professional.
PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP PROGRAM
The Unifrax Corporation has established a program to provide customers with up-to-date
information regarding the proper use and handling of refractory ceramic fiber. In addition, Unifrax
Corporation has also established a program to monitor airborne fiber concentrations at customer
facilities. If you would like more information about this program, please call the Unifrax
Corporation Product Stewardship Information Hotline at 1-800-322-2293.
On February 11, 2002, the Refractory Ceramic Fibers Coalition (RCFC) and the U.S.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) introduced a voluntary worker protection
program entitled PSP 2002, a comprehensive, multi-faceted risk management program designed
to control and reduce workplace exposures to refractory ceramic fiber (RCF). Unifrax Corporation,
as a member of RCFC, is participating in this highly acclaimed product stewardship program. For
more information regarding PSP 2002, please call the Unifrax Corporation's Product Stewardship
Information Hotline at 1-800-322-2293 or refer to the RCFC web site:
