CONTROLS
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential exposure conditions.
Control measures to consider:
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. SPECIAL
PRECAUTIONS: Should significant vapours/fumes be generated during thermal processing of this
product, it is recommended that work stations be monitored for the presence of thermal degradation
by-products which may evolve at elevated temperatures (for example, oxygenated components).
Processors of this product should assure that adequate ventilation or other controls are used to control
exposure. It is recommended that the current ACGIH-TLVs for thermal degradation by-products be
observed. Contact your local sales representative for further information. It is recommended that all
dust control equipment such as local exhaust ventilation and material transport systems involved in
handling of this product are designed and maintained to minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Ensure that dust-handling systems (such as exhaust ducts, dusts collectors, vessels, and processing
equipment) are designed to minimize the potential for dust ignition and prevent explosion propagation.
For example, use explosion relief vents, an explosion suppression system or inert equipment internals.
Additional examples of proper equipment include using only appropriately classified electrical equipment
and powered industrial trucks.

Protection: If engineering controls do not maintain airborne contaminant concentrations at a level
which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator may be appropriate. Respirator selection,
use, and maintenance must be in accordance with regulatory requirements, if applicable. Types of respirators
to be considered for this material include:
Particulate air-purifying respirator approved for dust or oil mist is recommended.
For high airborne concentrations, use an approved supplied-air respirator, operated in positive pressure mode.
Supplied air respirators with an escape bottle may be appropriate when oxygen levels are inadequate,
gas/vapour warning properties are poor, or if air purifying filter capacity/rating may be exceeded.
