8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
EXPOSURE LIMITS
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE LIMIT
Highly Refined Petroleum Oils 5 gm/m3 OSHA PEL
5 mg/m3 ACGIH TLV, 10 mg/m3 STEL
Alkoxy Sulfolane None Established
Di-isodecyl Adipate None Established
Zinc Compounds None Established
Proprietary Additive None Established
VENTILATION: None needed under normal use conditions. For operations where the exposure limit may be exceeded,
forced ventilation such as local exhaust may be required.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None under normal use conditions. For operations where the exposure limit may be
exceeded, a NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor cartridge and a dust/mist prefilter or supplied air respirator is
recommended. Equipment selection depends on contaminant type and concentration. Select in accordance with 29 CFR
1910.134 and good industrial hygiene practice. For firefighting, use self-contained breathing apparatus.
GLOVES: Impervious gloves such as heavy nitrile or neoprene are recommended where prolonged skin contact may occur.
Use heat-resistant gloves when handling product at elevated temperatures.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles are recommended.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT/CLOTHING: Appropriate protective clothing as needed to minimize skin contact.
Suitable eye flushing facilities should be available in the work area. Contaminated clothing should be immediately removed
and laundered before re-use.
