SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters
This product does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limits established by the region specific regulatory bodies.
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion-proof
electrical/ventilating/lighting/equipment. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166 Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection
For any handling steps where the substance is in particulate form or in a suspension with pure water where the substance is not solubilized, the gloves must be comprised of material that successfully passes ASTM F-1671. For any handling steps where the substance is part of a carrier liquid, other than the aqueous suspension noted in the previous paragraph, gloves must be comprised of material that successfully passes ASTM F-739 (continuous liquid contact method). Gloves must be changed before they show degradation and before the designated breakthrough time for the carrier liquid (as determined by the ASTM F-739 testing or by the manufacturer). Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Body Protection
Impervious clothing, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
The EPA mandates the use of full face respirators with minimum N100 grade cartridges if there is any risk of exposure to the dust. For nuisance exposures use type P95 (US) or type P1 (EU EN 143) particle respirator. For higher level protection use type OV/AG/P99 (US) or type ABEK-P2 (EU EN 143) respirator cartridges. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Do not let product enter drains.
