8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Standards: None assigned for this mixture. Data for
principal ingredients only :
Atmospheric Contaminant Exposure Standard for:
n-methyl-2-pyrrolidone : MAC = 19 ppm, 80mg/cu.m.
Supplier recommended maximum allowable concentration.
triethylamine : 8 hr TWA = 12 mg/cu.m. (3 ppm)
15 min STEL = 20 mg/cu.m. (5 ppm)
2-butoxy ethanol : 8 hr TWA = 96.9 mg/cu.m. (20 ppm) ‘SK’
‘SK’ Notice – Absorption through the skin may be a significant
source of exposure. If this exposure occurs, the exposure
standard is invalidated.
