Biological occupational exposure limits
No biological limit allocated.
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 con-
trols. For some substances biological monitoring may also be appropriate.
Validated exposure measurement methods should be applied by a competent person and sam-
ples analysed by an accredited laboratory.
Examples of sources of recommended exposure measurement methods are given below or con-
tact the supplier. Further national methods may be available.

Engineering measures : 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:
Use sealed systems as far as possible.
Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to control airborne con-
centrations below the exposure guidelines/limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is recommended.
Firewater monitors and deluge systems are recommended.
Eye washes and showers for emergency use.
Where material is heated, sprayed or mist formed, there is
greater potential for airborne concentrations to be generated.

General Information:
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 con-
taminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned.

Practice good housekeeping.

Define procedures for safe handling and maintenance of
controls.
Educate and train workers in the hazards and control meas-
ures 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 mainten-
ance.
Retain drain downs in sealed storage pending disposal or
subsequent recycle.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentra-
tions to a level which is adequate to protect worker health,
select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the spe-
cific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers.
Where air-filtering respirators are unsuitable (e.g. airborne
concentrations are high, risk of oxygen deficiency, confined
space) use appropriate positive pressure breathing appara-
tus.
Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an appro-
priate combination of mask and filter.
If air-filtering respirators are suitable for conditions of use:
Select a filter suitable for organic gases and vapors [Type A
boiling point >65°C (149°F)].

Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in ac-

cordance with the requirements of the OSHA Respiratory
Protection Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134.

Hand protection
Remarks : 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. Longer term protection: Nitrile
rubber gloves. Incidental contact/Splash protection: PVC,
neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves 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 recognize that suitable gloves
offering this level of protection may not be available and in
this case a lower breakthrough time maybe 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. 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 re-

care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using
gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Appli-
cation of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.

Eye protection : If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes,
protective eyewear is recommended.

Skin and body protection : Skin protection is not required under normal conditions of
use.
For prolonged or repeated exposures use impervious clothing
over parts of the body subject to exposure.
If repeated and/or prolonged skin exposure to the substance
is likely, then wear suitable gloves tested to relevant Stan-
dard, and provide employee skin care programmes.
