MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET FOR COATED ABRASIVES TAF F.E.P.A. Federazione Europea Dei Produttori di Abrasivi Format be FEPA as per EC Directive 91/155 and ISO-Standard 11014- COMPANY TAF ABRASIVI S.p.A. DATE 1/10/2005 ADDRESS Via Beato Angelico 29/31-20052 MONZA MI POSITION AUTHORIZED PERSON Fax no ++39-039-2021549 Phone no. ++39-039-20693.1 IMPORTANCE NOTICE; Coated abrasives are inert products which do not create any risk when handled or stored. When used on grinding machines they require specific measure to protect the operators. During the grinding operation 90% or more of the particulates of the dust come from the material being ground and, for wet grinding, from aerosols generated by the grinding fluid. Specific attention must therefore be given to the nature of the part and of the fluid and the appropriate protection devices must be installed. 1.
