8.1. Control parameters
Name
Distillates (petroleum) solvent-dewaxed heavy
paraffinic
Solvent refined mineral oil
ACGIH = American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.
8.2. Exposure controls
Protective equipment
Process conditions
Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level.
Engineering measures
Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not
exceeded.
Respiratory equipment
No specific recommendation made, but respiratory protection must be used if the general level exceeds the recommended occupational
exposure limit.
Hand protection
The most suitable glove must be chosen in consultation with the gloves supplier, who can inform about the breakthrough time of the glove
material.
Eye protection
If risk of splashing, wear safety goggles or face shield.
Other Protection
Use barrier creams to prevent skin contact.
Hygiene measures
Wash promptly with soap & water if skin becomes contaminated.
Thermal hazards
Not anticipated under normal conditions of use. The product is combustible if heated excessively and an ignition source is applied.
