SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION (cont.)
Ventilation requirements:
N/A if TLV/PEL not exceeded. It is recommended that all dust control equipment such as local exhaust ventilation and material transport systems
involved in handling of this product contain explosion relief vents or an explosion suppression system or an oxygen – decient environment. Ensure that
dust handling systems such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels and processing equipment are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of
dust into the work area. Use only appropriately classied electrical equipment and powered industrial trucks.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye / face protection: Safety glasses / goggles to protect against dry particles.
Skin protection: Impervious and abrasion resistant.
Respiratory protection: None if TLV / PEL not exceeded.
Other protective clothing or Equipment: None – recommend using good industrial hygiene.
Work hygienic practices: None. Recommend using good industrial hygiene practices.

SECTION 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
General toxicological info:
Hazard Identication. Toxicological Information on the Osha Regulated Components of this product are as follows: Styrene has an acute oral LD50
(RAT) of 5 g/kg. The inhalation LC50 (RAT) is 24 mg/l following a 4-hour exposure. Acute overexposure to styrene vapour may cause moderate eye
and nasal irritation as well as drowsiness, headache and central nervous system depression. Styrene is a moderate skin and eye irritant. Styrene
has been shown to cause lung tumors in mice. Epidemiological studies of styrene exposure in humans is not conclusive due to the inadequate
control of variables. Acute oral (RAT) and dermal (RABBIT) LD (50) values are estimated to greater than 5,000 mg/kg and greater than 2,000 mg/kg,
respectively. The 4-hour inhalation LC 50 (RAT) value is estimated to be greater than 20 mg/l. Direct contact with this material may cause minimal eye
and skin irritation. Inhalation overexposure may cause irritation of the respiratory tract and eyes. Refer to section 11 for Toxicology information on the
sha Regulated Components of this product. Inhalation overexposure to Zinc Stearate, Alumina Trihydrate, Kaolin, Calcium Metasilicate, Glass, Mica,
Fiberglass, Cellulose, Iron Oxide, Carbon Black, and Talc may cause respiratory congestion and irritation. Carcinogenicity of Styrene IARC Group 2B
Carcinogen.
