Exposure controls and personal protection Components with occupational exposure limits o-xylene, ; TWA value 100 ppm (ACGIHTLV) STEL value 150 ppm (ACGIHTLV) STEL value 651 mg/m3 ; 150 ppm (OEL (SG)) TWA value 434 mg/m3 ; 100 ppm (OEL (SG)) Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection: Suitable respiratory protection for higher concentrations or long-term effect: Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 C, e. g. EN Type A) Hand protection: Chemical resistant protective gloves Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): fluoroelastomer (FKM) mm coating thickness Polyethylene-Laminate (PE laminate) - ca. 0.1 mm coating thickness Suitable materials for short-term contact (recommended: At least protective index 2, corresponding > 30 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374) nitrile rubber (NBR) mm coating thickness Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types. Eye protection: Safety glasses with side-shields. Body protection: Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN in case of splashes or EN ISO in case of dust).
