No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Biological limit values
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Provide
eyewash station and safety shower. Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain worker
exposure below exposure limits. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye wash fountains are required.
Eye/face protection
Skin protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Hand protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
Other
Where exposure guideline levels may be exceeded, use an approved NIOSH respirator.
Respirator should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety
professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134),
CAN/CSA-Z94.4 and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2).
Respiratory protection
Not applicable.
Thermal hazards
Keep away from food and drink. 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. Avoid contact with the skin and
the eyes. When using do not eat or drink.
