SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Biological limit values
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Recommended monitoring procedures
Additional exposure data
Not available.
Engineering measures
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
