Biological limit values
Occupational Exposure Limits are not relevant to the current physical form of the product.
Exposure guidelines
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.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Eye/face protection
Skin protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove
supplier.
Hand protection
Skin protection
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Other
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Respiratory protection
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Thermal hazards
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.
