Engineering measures
Engineering measures
Wherever possible, the workplace must be ventilated sufficiently to ensure that exposure standards
are met. Ensure airflow, where this product is being used, is directed away from the operators.
If cured material made from this product is to be cut or sanded, ensure that dust is kept below the
Worksafe Exposure Standard for inspirable dusts (10mg/m3) or the ACGIH Exposure Standard for
respirable dusts (3mg/m3).
No special precautions required.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection : In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory
equipment.
Eye protection : Tightly fitting safety goggles.
Face-shield.
Hand protection : rubber or plastic gloves
Skin and body protection : Protective suit.
Safety shoes.
Protective measures : Avoid contact with skin and eyes by wearing long impervious
gloves, (Rubber,Neoprene, PVC complying to AS 2161) and
industrial safety glasses. Respiratory protection complying with
AS 1715, 1716 should be worn if ventilation at the workplace is
inadequate. Apply barrier creams to exposed skin areas.
