    FIBERGLASS

    Awesome Image

    Fiberglass consists of small strands of glass and finds most common applications in structures for insulation purposes, such as walls, ceilings, and heating systems. While this substance is not classified as a carcinogen, it can still have substantial medical effects on individuals, leading to negative respiratory and dermal health effects upon exposure.

    Our Fiberglass Services

    PCM Air Samples (NIOSH 7400, Rule B)

    Our laboratory offers air sample analysis utilizing NIOSH Method 7400 to determine the presence of airborne fiber concentrations.

    PLM Qualitative Dust Wipe

    Our analysts can analyze dust wipe samples you submit to determine the presence of fiberglass fibers with our PLM Qualitative Dust service. We place dust wipes in a muffle furnace for approximately 10-12 hours (depending on the dust loading on the wipes) to burn off the wipe and any other non-combustible materials. Our analysts then sift through all the remaining ash to identify the presence of fiberglass fibers, and results are reported as either “No Fiberglass Detected” or “Fiberglass Detected” (qualitative results).

    01

    Initial Analysis

    Our team of fully trained analysts perform the initial analysis of samples submitted for a particular project.

    02

    Random
    QC Sampling

    Prior to finalizing the laboratory report, a number of random samples are selected for a quality control (QC) review; these samples are reanalyzed by a different analyst to confirm the previous findings and to maintain the integrity of the laboratory.

    03

    Generating
    Final Results

    Once the QC analysis is complete, the results are reviewed and approved by the Quality Control Manager and a laboratory report is generated by our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and delivered directly to our client via email.
