OIL REMOVAL PASTE
8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards: None assigned for mixture or individual
ingredients by Safe Work Australia. Other Standards: (Data
for principal ingredient)
Suggested TLV (for mineral turpentine) = 480 mg / cu.m
(Occupational Exposure Limit for 8-hour working day, 5
days a week)
Engineering Controls: Mechanical ventilation: Flameproof
ventilation (local exhaust and/or general mechanical) is
required if sufficient product is used to generate volumes of
vapour that approach the flammability or TLV limits. No
smoking. Use in a well ventilated area.
Personal Protection:
Gloves - Wear neoprene or nitrile gloves.
Note: Resistance of glove materials can vary. Evaluate
resistance under conditions of use and maintain PPE
carefully.
Eye-protection - Not normally required.

11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Health Effects:
Acute –
Swallowed: Ingestion may cause solvent aspiration into the
lungs which may cause mild to severe pulmonary injury and
possibly death.
Eye: Eye contact may cause irritation.
Skin: Principal route of exposure is usually by skin contact.
Moderate irritant to the skin on prolonged contact.
Inhaled: Harmful. Inhalation may cause moderate irritation to
the respiratory tract and mucous membranes. Inhalation of
high vapour concentrations may cause headaches and
dizziness, are anaesthetic and may cause central nervous
system depression.
Health Effects -
Chronic
:
Repeated or prolonged skin contact may cause swelling,
redness, blistering or dermatitis. Chronic exposure to the
concentrated vapour may result in headache and symptoms of
central nervous system depression.
Toxicity Data: Not available for mixture.
