MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET <br /> Ashland Page 004 <br /> Date Prepared: 03/03/05 <br /> Date Printed: 01/11/06 <br /> IS02003-20 MSDS No: 311.0393453-002.003 <br /> 7 . HANDLING AND STORAGE <br /> Handling <br /> Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied <br /> containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid) , all hazard <br /> precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Static ignition hazard <br /> can result from handling and use. Electrically bond and ground all containers, <br /> personnel and equipment before transfer or use of material. Special <br /> precautions may be necessary to dissipate static electricity for non-conductive <br /> containers. Use proper bonding and grounding during product transfer as <br /> described in National Fire Protection Association document NFPA 77. <br /> 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION <br /> Eye Protection <br /> Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised; <br /> however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses. Consult your <br /> safety representative. <br /> Skin Protection <br /> Wear resistant gloves such as: polyvinyl alcohol, Wear normal work clothing <br /> covering arms and legs. <br /> Respiratory Protections <br /> If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see <br /> exposure guidelines) , a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised <br /> in absence of proper environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other <br /> NIOSH/MSHA respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see <br /> your industrial hygienist) . Engineering or administrative controls should be <br /> implemented to reduce exposure. <br /> Engineering Controls <br /> Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to <br /> maintain exposure below TLV(s) . <br /> Exposure Guidelines <br /> Component <br /> POLYESTER RESIN <br /> No exposure limits established <br /> STYRENE (100-42-5) <br /> OSHA PEL 100.000 ppm - TWA <br /> OSHA PEL 200.000 ppm - Ceiling <br /> OSHA VPEL 50.000 ppm - TWA <br /> OSHA VPEL 100.000 ppm - STEL <br /> ACGIH TLV 20.000 ppm - TWA (Skin) <br /> ACGIH TLV 40.000 ppm - STEL (Skin) <br /> OSHA has formally endorsed a styrene industry proposal for a voluntary 50 ppm <br /> workplace limit on styrene. Members of the Styrene Information and Research <br /> Council (SIRC) , Composites Institute (CI) , Composite Fabricators Association <br /> (CFA) , International Cast Polymers Association (ICPA) and National Marine <br /> Manufacturers Association (NMMA) have agreed to use either engineering <br /> controls, work practices or respiratory protection to achieve this voluntary <br /> limit for styrene. <br /> Continued on next page <br />
