Biological limit values
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering
controls
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.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Face shield is recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Other
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
Respiratory protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Thermal hazards
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene
considerations
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. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the
workplace.
