aerosols. Properly dispose of any contaminated rags or cleaning materials in
order to prevent fires. Use the information in this data sheet as input to a risk
assessment of local circumstances to help determine appropriate controls for
safe handling, storage and disposal of this material.

Product Transfer : This material has the potential to be a static accumulator.Proper
grounding and bonding procedures should be used during all bulk transfer
operations.
Recommended Materials: For containers or container linings, use mild steel or high density
polyethylene.
Unsuitable Materials : PVC.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

If the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) value is provided on this
document, it is provided for information only.

Occupational Exposure Limits

Material Source Type ppm mg/m3 Notation

Oil mist, ACGIH TWA(Inhala 5 mg/m3
mineral ble fraction.)

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits within their jurisdiction.

Biological Exposure Index (BEI)

No biological limit allocated.

Exposure Controls : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending
upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls based on a risk
assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate measures include: Adequate
ventilation to control airborne concentrations. Where material is heated,
sprayed or mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne concentrations
to be generated. Define procedures for safe handling and maintenance of
controls. Educate and train workers in the hazards and control measures
relevant to normal activities associated with this product. Ensure appropriate
selection, testing and maintenance of equipment used to control exposure,
e.g. personal protective equipment, local exhaust ventilation. Drain down
system prior to equipment break-in or maintenance. Retain drain downs in
sealed storage pending disposal or for subsequent recycle. Always observe
good personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands after handling the
material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work
clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard
contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned. Practice good
housekeeping.

Personal Protective : Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet recommended national
Equipment standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
Respiratory Protection : No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of
use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions
should be taken to avoid breathing of material. If engineering controls do not
maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect
worker health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with
respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are
suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Select a filter

suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and vapours [boiling point
>65 °C (149 °F)]
Hand Protection : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved
to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739) made from the
following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC, neoprene
or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove
material, dexterity. Always seek advice
from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Personal
hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn
on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and dried
thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. For
continuous contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more
than 240 minutes with preference for > 480 minutes where suitable gloves
can be identified. For short-term/splash protection we recommend the same,
but recognise that suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be
available and in this case a lower breakthrough time may be acceptable so
long as appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes are followed.
Glove thickness is not a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it
is dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Glove thickness
should be typically greater than 0.35 mm depending on the glove make and
model.
Eye Protection : Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to occur.
Protective Clothing : Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard Issue work clothes.
Monitoring Methods : Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing zone of
workers or in the general workplace may be required to confirm compliance
with an OEL and adequacy of exposure controls. For some substances
biological monitoring may also be appropriate. Validated exposure
measurement methods should be applied by a competent person and
samples analysed by an accredited laboratory. Examples of sources of
recommended exposure measurement methods are given below or contact
the supplier. Further national methods may be available.

Environmental Exposure : Take appropriate measures to fulfil the requirements of
Controls relevant environmental protection legislation. Avoid contamination of the
environment by following advice given in Chapter 6. If necessary, prevent
undissolved material from being discharged to waste water. Waste water
should be treated in a municipal or industrial waste water treatment plant
before discharge to surface water. Local guidelines on emission limits for
volatile substances must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air
containing vapour.
