Exposure controls
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.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear appropriate safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) if contact is likely to occur.
Skin protection
Wear appropriate chemical-resistant gloves and clothing if contact is likely to occur.
Body protection
Wear appropriate protective clothing if contact is likely to occur
Respiratory protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use a NIOSH/MSHA
approved respirator if there is a risk of exposure to dust/fumes at levels exceeding the
exposure limits. Advice should be sought from respiratory protection suppliers.
