8.2 Exposure Controls

Engineering Controls

A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.

Respiratory Protection

For conditions of use where exposure to the substance is apparent, consult an industrial hygienist. For emergencies, or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-facepiece positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator.

Eye Protection

Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.

Skin Protection

Wear protective gloves and clean body covering clothing.

Potential Health Effects

Inhalation

Bis(1-methylethyl) naphthalene

Breathing of the mists, vapors or fumes may irritate the nose, throat and lungs.

Butyl Dioxitol

This material does not normally present an inhalation hazard, however, in applications where vapors (caused by high temperature) or mists (caused by mixing) are created, breathing may cause a mild burning sensation in the nose, throat and lungs.

Linear alkyl phenyl ethoxylates

Vapors or mist, expecially as generated from heating the material or as from exposure in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces, may be irritating and cause discomfort in nose and throat. Prolonged exposure may cause difficulty breathing.

Ingestion

Bis(1-methylethyl) naphthalene

May cause irritation of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract. Exposure may also cause central nervous system symptoms.

Butyl Dioxitol

Liquid can directly enter the lungs (aspiration) when swallowed or vomited. Serious lung damage and possiblyfatal chemical pneumonia (chemical pneumonitis) can develop if this occurs.

Linear alkyl phenyl ethoxylates

May be harmful by ingestion.

Skin

Bis(1-methylethyl) naphthalene

May cause skin irritation.

Butyl Dioxitol

May be slightly irritating to the skin.

Linear alkyl phenyl ethoxylates

Brief contact may cause slight irritation. Prolonged contact, as with clothing wetted with material, may cause more severe irritation and discomfort.

Eyes

Bis(1-methylethyl) naphthalene

Exposure to vapors, fumes or mists may cause irritation. Direct contact may cause irritation.

Butyl Dioxitol

Irritating to the eyes causing a burning sensation, redness, swelling and/or blurred vision.
