8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Limits:
Chemical Name Source Type Exposure Limits Notes
2-Aminoethanol ACGIH STEL 6 ppm
2-Aminoethanol ACGIH TWA 3 ppm
2-Aminoethanol NIOSH Guide IDLH 30 ppm
2-Aminoethanol US. OSHA Table TWA 3 ppm 6 mg/m?br>

Triethylene glycol monomethyl ACGIH STEL 6 mg/m?br>
ether borate ester (Inhalable
fraction.)
Triethylene glycol monomethyl ACGIH TWA 2 mg/m?br>
ether borate ester (Inhalable
fraction.)
Engineering Controls: Provide adequate ventilation. Observe occupational exposure limits and
minimize the risk of inhalation of vapors and mist.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection must be used if air contamination exceeds acceptable
level. If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure
limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been
established), an approved respirator must be worn. In the United States of America, if respirators are
used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA Standard 63 FR 1152, January 8,
1998. Use a NIOSH-approved respirator (See 29 CRF 1910.134, respiratory protection standard).
Respirator type: High-efficiency particulate respirator.
Eye Protection: Wear approved safety goggles.
Hand Protection: Gloves are recommended for prolonged use.
Skin Protection: Wear apron or protective clothing in case of contact.
Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling
the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants.
Environmental Exposure Controls: Environmental manager must be informed of all major spillages.
