FILTER AID REVISION DATE : 02/18/2016 TWA 0.025 mg/m3 ACGIH (02 2014) TWA 1.2 millions of particles per cubic foot of airThe exposure limit is calculated from the equation, 125/(%SiO2+5), using a value of 100% SiO2. Lower values of % SiO2 will give higher exposure limits. Z3 (2000) TWA 0.15 mg/m3 The exposure limit is calculated from the equation, 15/(%SiO2+2), using a value of 100% SiO2.

SAFETY DATA SHEET Lower percentages of SiO2 will yield higher exposure limits. TWA 0.1 mg/m3 The exposure limit is calculated from the equation, 10/(%SiO2+2), using a value of 100% SiO2. Lower percentages of SiO2 will yield higher exposure limits. Z3 (2000) TWA 0.3 mg/m3 The exposure limit is calculated from the equation, 30/(%SiO2+2), using a value of 100% SiO2. Lower values of % SiO2 will give higher exposure limits. Z3 (2000) SECTION 9.
