8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
EXPOSURE LIMITS
CHEMICAL EXPOSURE LIMIT
Highly-refined petroleum lubricant oils
(As mineral oil mist)
5 mg/m3 TWA OSHA PEL
5 mg/m3 TWA ACGIH TLV (Inhalable)
1-Decene trimer, hydrogenated
(As mineral oil mist)
5 mg/m3 TWA OSHA PEL
5 mg/m3 TWA ACGIH TLV (Inhalable)
1-Decene homopolymer, hydrogenated
(As mineral oil mist)
5 mg/m3 TWA OSHA PEL
5 mg/m3 TWA ACGIH TLV (Inhalable)
VENTILATION: None needed under normal use conditions. For operations where the exposure limit is exceeded, forced
ventilation such as local exhaust is required.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None under normal use conditions. For operations where exposure limits are 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.
GLOVES: Impervious gloves such as heavy nitrile 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.
