Safety Data Sheet
Occupational Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health and
Safety Commission. However, Exposure Standard(s) for constituent(s):
Benzoyl peroxide: 8hr TWA = 5 mg/m3
As published by the National Occupational Health and Safety Commission.
TWA - The time-weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for a five-day working week
over an entire working life.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric
contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These exposure standards should not be used as fine
dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering controls:
Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below quoted Exposure
Standards. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Selleys Factory Safe Handling Code: Orange
MANUFACTURE, PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT: Orange - Wear overalls (or 'issued' long pants and long sleeve
tops), safety boots, long gloves and apron, and face shield. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using
