This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly. Minor quantities of other non-
hazardous ingredients are also possible.
The SWA TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour
working day for a 5 day working week. The STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) is an exposure value that may be equalled (but should not
be exceeded) for no longer than 15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day. There should be at least 60 minutes
between successive exposures at the STEL. The term "peak "is used when the TWA limit, because of the rapid action of the substance,
should never be exceeded, even briefly.
