Exposure guidelines
US - California OELs: Skin designation
n-Hexane (CAS 110-54-3) Can be absorbed through the skin.
US ACGIH Threshold Limit Values: Skin designation
n-Hexane (CAS 110-54-3) Can be absorbed through the skin.
Appropriate engineering
controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates
should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,
or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye
wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection
Wear protective gloves: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Nitrile. Viton rubber (fluor rubber).
Other
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing.
Respiratory protection
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Air monitoring is needed to
determine actual employee exposure levels.
Thermal hazards
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene
considerations
When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such
as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely
wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
