* * * Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection * * *
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
OSHA 8-hour TWA for dust is 15 mg/cu-meter (5 mg/cu-meter for the respirable fraction). The ACGIH TLV-TWA
is 10 mg/cu-meter.
B: Component Exposure Limits
Adipic acid (124-04-9)
ACGIH: 5 mg/m3 TWA
Engineering Controls
Ventilation should effectively remove and prevent buildup of any dust generated from the handling of this product.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Use chemical safety goggles (ANSI Z87.1 std; safety glasses alone do not protect eyes from dust).
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Not normally required.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety professional
following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for
respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A written respiratory protection program, including provisions for medical
certification, training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and convenient,
sanitary storage must be implemented.
