SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters

Components with workplace control parameters

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands

before breaks and at the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye

protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as

NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove

removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact

with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with

applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

Body Protection

Impervious clothing, The type of protective equipment must be selected according

to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific

workplace.

Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface

particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as

a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection,

use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and

approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN

(EU).

Control of environmental exposure

Do not let product enter drains.
