8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Authorized limit Values TLV ACGIH-USA (2002) OSHA PEL
Paticulates not otherwise Inhalable 10 mg/m3 Inhalable 15 mg/m3
classified (PNOC) TWA TWA
Respirable 3 mg/m3 Respirable 5 mg/m3
TWA TWA
No specific TLV-STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) has been set. Excursions in exposure level may exceed 3 times
the TLV_TWA for no more than a total of 30 minutes during a workday and under no circumstances should they
exceed 5 times the TLV-TWA.
Eye/Face Protection
Wear dustproof goggles.
Skin Protection
For brief contact, few precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. When prolonged or
frequently repeated contact could occur, use protective full-body clothing such as PVC or rubber, impervious to this
material.
Protective gloves should be made of PVC, neoprene or rubber.
Respiratory Protection
For many conditions, no respiratory protection may be needed; however in dusty or unknown atmospheres or when
exposures exceed limit values, use NIOSH-approved dust respirator.
Other/General Protection
-An eyewash and safety shower should be nearby and ready for use.
-Consult your industrial hygienist or safety manager for the selection of personal protective equipment suitable for the
working conitions.

13. Disposal Considerations - Continued
Packaging Treatement:
Container disposal:
-Fiber drums with liners: Completely empty by shaking and tapping sides and bottom to loosen clinging particles. Empty
residue into application equipment, then dispose of liner in sanitiary landfill or by incineration if allowed by state and local
authorities. If drum is contaminated and cannot be reused, dispose of in the same manner.
-Bags/Plastic Pails: Completely empty container into application equipment. Triple rinse pail and offer for recycling or
reconditioning. Containers can also be disposed in a sanitary landfill or by incineration if allowed by state and local
authorities. If burned, stay out of smoke.
