CLEAN-UP
Clean up dust carefully. Use wet sweeping or high efficiency vacuum to remove dust. Do not use compressed air.
During after-service removal activities, wet exposed material frequently to minimize airborne dust. A surfactant may
be added to the water to improve the wetting process. Use only enough water to wet the insulation. Do not allow
water to accumulate on floors. [See Section 16 - After-Service Removal]
EMPTY CONTAINERS
Product packaging may contain residue. Do not reuse.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE STANDARDS AND OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE LIMITS
Components OSHA SUPPLIER
Magnesium silicate fiber None established* See below**
Silica (amorphous) 6 mg/m³ (< 1% None Established crystalline silica)
Starch 5 mg/m³ PEL (resp. None Established dust) 15 mg/m³ PEL (total dust)
ACGIH TLV'S: Magnesium silicate fiber -- None established. Silica (amorphous) -- 10 mg/m³ (total Dust,
containing < 1% crystalline silica), 3 mg/m³ (respirable dust, containing < 1% crystalline silica). Starch -- 10 mg/m³
TLV (total dust)
*For magnesium silicate fiber, refer to OSHA guidance regarding "Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated" (PNOR).
Control airborne dust levels as follows:
Components Particle Size OSHA
PNOR Total Dust 15 mg/m³
Respirable Dust 5 mg/m³
ACGIH Particulates Not Otherwise Classified (PNOC) -- Inhalable particulate: 10 mg/m³. Respirable particulate: 3
mg/m³.
** As with most industrial materials, it is prudent to minimize unnecessary exposure to respirable dusts. Note that
Industrial hygiene standards and occupational exposure limits differ between countries and local jurisdictions.
Check with your employer to identify any "respirable dust", "total dust" or "fiber" exposure standards to follow in
your area. If no regulatory dust or fiber control standard apply, a qualified industrial hygiene professional can assist
with a specific evaluation of workplace conditions and the identification of appropriate respiratory protection
practices. In the absence of other guidance, the supplier has found that it is generally feasible to control occupational
fiber exposure to 1 f/cc or less.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Dust suppressing control technologies such as local exhaust ventilation, point of generation dust collection, down
draft work stations, emission controlling tool designs, and materials handling equipment are effective means of
minimizing airborne fiber emissions. For additional information, contact the Product Stewardship Information Line
