8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION - CONTINUED
鈥? Exposure Controls:
Engineering Controls: Ventilation: Local exhaust - preferred
Mechanical - may be necessary if working at elevated temperatures
or in enclosed areas.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye - Goggles or face shield with goggles, dependent upon potential exposure.
Skin - Protective gloves: Rubber or plastic
Dependent upon degree of potential exposure, additional personal protective
equipment may be required, such as chemical boots and full protective clothing.
Inhalation - None required for ambient temperature, although an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved air-purifying
respirator should be used if a mist or vapor is generated. A NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained
breathing apparatus or air-supplied respirator is recommended if the concentration exceeds the capacity
of cartridge respirator. WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-
deficient atmospheres.
Other Controls: Boots, eye wash fountain, safety shower, apron, protective clothing.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Acute Oral Toxicity (Rats)
The LD50 for albino rats was 12.6 gm/kg of body weight.
Eye Irritation (Rabbits)
Undiluted C-810 with no rinsing of the eyes produced severe ocular damage whereas rinsing the eyes with water after
instillation of the test material reduced involvement to mild to moderate but transient irritation.
Eye Irritation (Monkeys)
Undiluted C-810, with no rinsing of the eyes with water after instillation, produced superficial corneal effects and rather
severe congestion of the conjunctiva. All eyes were normal within nine days after instillation of the test material.
Skin Irritation (Four-Hour Test)*
Primary Irritation Index Degree of Irritancy
Rabbits 4.5 Moderate
Guinea Pigs 0.5 Slight
Humans 2.3 Moderate
