Exposure controls
VENTILATION: Always provide good general, mechanical room ventilation where this
chemical/material is used.
SPECIAL VENTILATION CONTROLS: Use explosion-proof equipment if high dust/air concentrations are possible. Use
only appropriately classified electrical equipment and powered industrial trucks. If
user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit. It is recommended that all dust
control equipment such as local exhaust ventilation and material transport systems
involved in handling of this product contain explosion relief vents or an explosion
suppression system or an oxygen deficient environment. Ensure that dust-handling
systems (such as exhaust ducts, dust collectors, vessels, and processing equipment)
are designed in a manner to prevent the escape of dust into the work area(i.e., there
is no leakage from the equipment).
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or the CEN
European Standards (EU). Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard (EN)
approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other
symptoms are experienced.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Neoprene, butyl, or nitrile rubber gloves are recommended.
EYE PROTECTION: Recommend eye protection using safety glasses or goggles.
SKIN PROTECTION: Suitable protective clothing to prevent skin contact
WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES: Avoid breathing dust and vapor. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands after
handling.
OTHER EQUIPMENT: Make safety shower, eyewash stations, and hand washing equipment available in
the work area.
