PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVELS: Phenol: The OSHA PEL (permissible exposure limit) and the ACGIH TLV (threshold limit value) for phenol is currently set at 5 PPM for an 8-hour TWA. Formaldehyde: OSHA has established a 0.75-PPM PEL for formaldehyde as an 8-hour TWA and a 2 PPM 15 minute STEL (short term exposure limit). OSHA has also set a 0.5-PPM action level for formaldehyde (see OSHA regulation 21 CFR 1910.1048 for specific information regarding work place requirements). ACHIH TLV for formaldehyde is 0.75 PPM for and 8-hour TWA. Methanol: The OSHA PEL and the ACGIH TLV for methanol is currently set at 200 PPM for and 8-hour TWA. Effects of Over Exposure: Contact with skin may cause irritation or rash. Eye contact may cause slight irritation or redness. Heated vapors may cause irritation of the respiratory tract. First Aid: Skin Contact: Wash with soap and water at once. Eye Contact: Flush with water for 15 minutes and call a physician of irritation persists. Inhalation: If fumes or heated vapors are inhaled, remove victim to fresh air. Primary Routes of Entry: Inhalation of dust or fumes: Phenol may be absorbed through the skin. Carcinogenicity: Formaldehyde, a component of this product, is listed by the NTP (National Toxicology Program) in their third annual report as a substance that may be reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen. Formaldehyde is classified as a “probable carcinogen to humans” by the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). TLV’s have been established by the ACGIH. OSHA standard 1910.1048 also requires exposure monitoring in the work place. For the purpose of this standard, Formaldehyde concentrations greater than .1% require initial monitoring to determine if the action level has bee exceeded. If the Monitoring levels are in excess of the action level, periodic monitoring will be required as stated in the OSHA standard. The free formaldehyde content in this product is listed in the physical data section of this MSDS. SECTION V – FIRE AND EXPLOSION DATA
