SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
8.1 Control Parameters
ACGIH Threshold Limit Value (TLV):
none listed
OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL):

8.2 Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures low. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent, consult an insutrial hygenist. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.
Eye Protection
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
Skin Protection
Wear protective gloves and clean, body-covering clothing.
