Further information
None EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure standards: TWA (sodium hydroxide): 2 mg/m³ - Worksafe Australia The TWA is the time weighted average concentration of the work atmosphere over a normal 8-hour work day and a 40-hour work week. Nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed to this level day after day, without adverse effect. These exposure standards are issued as guidelines for good practice. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is practically possible. These exposure standards should not be used as fine lines between safe and dangerous concentrations. Engineering controls: Natural ventilation. Avoid generating or inhaling mists or aerosols. Personal protection: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear safety glasses and impervious gloves. Avoid inhaling spray mists. PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
