ACGIH categorizes as A3, Skin, without a designated TLV. PELs are in accord with those recommend d by OSHA, as in the 1989 revision of PELS. DR-0011-8343 Stoddard solvent: ACGIH TLV and OSHA PEL are 100 ppm. PELS are in accord with those recommended by OSHA, as in the 1989 revision of PELS. INGESTION: 0153 0154 0200 A "skin" notation following the exposure guideline refers to the potential for dermal absorption of the material. It is intended to alert the reader that inhalation may not be the only route of exposure and that measures to minimize dermal exposures should be considered. Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before smoking or eating. SKIN: LOW: MOD: HI: - 0305 For brief contact, no precautions other than clean body-covering clothing should be needed. - 0350 Use protective clothing impervious to this material. Selection of specific items such as faceshield, glov s, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on operation. - 0370 Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing before reuse. - 0350 Use protective clothing impervious to this material.

INHALATION: LOW: - 0500 MOD: - 0550 HI: - 0550 - 0560 - 0570 No respiratory protection should be needed. Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved air-purifyihg respirator. Atmospheric levels should be maintained below th exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is requir d for certain operations, use an approved air-purifying respirator. For emergency and other conditions where the exposure guideline may be greatly exceeded, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply. In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use an ajpprov d positive-pressure supplied-air respirator. WARNING PROPERTIES: - 0610 Odor threshold for most people is 15 to 25 ppm. - 0630 Odor is inadequate warning of excessive exposure. VENTILATION: - 0740 Provide general and/or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne levels below the exposure guidelines. NOTES: PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT INFORMATION Selection of the most appropriate items of protective equipment will depend greatly on the conditions of use; consult your industrial hygiene or safety professional for assistance in determining the items of protective equipment best suited for the characteristics of your work situation.
