Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Provide local exhaust ventilation to control dust.
Chemical resistant protective gloves should be worn to prevent all skin contact., Suitable materials may include, nitrile rubber (Buna N), chloroprene rubber (Neoprene), polyvinylchloride (Pylox), Consult with glove manufacturer for testing data., Protective glove selection must be based on the user's assessment of the workplace hazards.
Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles). Wear face shield if splashing hazard exists.
Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) particulate respirator. Do not exceed the maximum use concentration for the respirator facepiece/cartridge combination. For emergency or non-routine, high exposure situations, use a NIOSH-certified full facepiece pressure demand self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or a full facepiece pressure demand supplied-air respirator (SAR) with escape provisions. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134).
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. head protection, apron, protective boots, chemical-protection suit.
