Section 8: Exposure Controls & Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No value assigned for this specific product by the National Occupational and
Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia). However, supplier recommended
Hygiene Standard as under;
TWA STEL Carcinogen Notices
Material TWA STEL Notices
ppm mg/m3 ppm mg/m3
Polyaminoamide N/E* N/E* N/E* N/E* -
Tris-2,4,6 (Dimethy- N/E* N/E* N/E* N/E* -
aminomethy) Phenol

N/E* - No Exposure Standard has been established for this product.

Eng. Controls: Special ventilation is not normally required due to the low volatility of the
product at normal temperature. However, in the operation of certain
equipment or at elevated temperatures, mists or vapours may be generated
and exhaust ventilation should be provided to maintain airborne
concentration levels below the exposure standards or where no exposure
standard is allocated, as low as reasonably practicable.
Personal Protection: Use overalls, safety shoes, safety goggles, rubber or chemical resistance
gloves and respirator if required.
Manufacturing, Avoid skin and eye contact and the inhalation of vapour. Wear overalls,
Packaging & safety goggles and impervious gloves. Available information suggests that the
Transport: gloves made from PVC should be suitable for intermittent contact. However
due to variations in glove construction and local conditions, the final
assessment should be made by the user. If inhalation risk exists, wear
organic vapour respirator meeting requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and 1716.
Always wash hands with soap and water before smoking, eating, drinking
or using toilet facilities.
