8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

A. Exposure limits in the air of the workplace, biological limit values:

○ ACGIH TLV
- [Methylcyclohexane] : TWA, 400 ppm (1610 mg/m3)
○ OSHA PEL

4 Page
Material Safety Data Sheet
- [Methylcyclohexane]:500ppm 2000mg/m3

B. Appropriate engineering controls:

- A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures above the
Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of
the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. The use of local
exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source.

C. Individual protection measures:

○ Respiratory protection:
- Under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure, Respiratory protection may be needed.
- Respiratory protection is ranked in order from minimum to maximum.
- Consider warning properties before use.
- Any chemical cartridge respirator with organic vapor cartridge(s).
- Any chemical cartridge respirator with a full facepiece and organic vaporcartridge(s).
- Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece and an organic vapor canister.
- For Unknown Concentration or Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health : Any supplied-air respirator
with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination
with a separate escape supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece.

○ Eye protection:
- Wear primary eye protection such as splash resistant safety goggles with a secondary protection face
shield.
- Provide an emergency eye wash station and quick drench shower in the immediate work area.

○ Hand protection:
- Wear appropriate chemical resistant glove.

○ Body protection:
- Wear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing.
