SECTION 8 鈥? EXPOSURE / PERSONAL PROTECTION
EXPOSURE LIMITS
OSHA ACGIH OTHER HAZARD
PEL TLV LIMIT
Not Established 5mg/m3 Niosh 5mg/m3 See State Listing
Section 15
Respiratory: These precautions are not usually necessary in adequately ventilated areas. Wear NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator when ventilation is not adequate. A NIOSH /MSHA 鈥揳pproved air purifying respirator with an
organic vapor cartridge or canister may be advisable under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are
expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure,
air supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are unknown, or any other
circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
Ventilation: Always assure adequate ventilation.
Eye Protection: Wear safety goggles to protect against contact when appropriate.
Skin: Wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact. Wash skin after use. Wash contaminated clothing and dry
before reuse.
Other: Emergency shower and eyewash facility of some kind should be in close proximity.
One should always use chemicals with an awareness of the potential hazard of the effect on the human system.
To minimize employee exposure to all chemicals, including this product, use good industrial hygiene practices.
