Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering ControlsUse process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep
exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal ProtectionSafety glasses. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Use a dust respirator if ventilation is inadequate or handling of
material creates visible dust clouds, and airborne concentrations exceed the recommended exposure limits.
Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be
a Large Spillused to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a
specialist BEFORE handling this product.
Exposure LimitsFor Particulates Not Otherwise Specified:
TWA: 10 (mg/m3) from ACGIH (TLV) [United States]
TWA: 15 (mg/m3) from OSHA (PEL) [United States]
Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.
