Section 8 – Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Exposure Limits:
Hazardous Component
OSHA PEL
ACGIH TLV
1-butene (butylene)
Not Established
250 (TWA)
propene (propylene)
Not Established
500 (TWA)
(PEL = Permissible Exposure Limit TLV = Threshold Limit Value TWA = Time-Weighted Average)
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate air exchange when used with installation tools.
Individual Protection Measures:
Eye/Face Protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields when used with
installation tools.
Skin Protection: Chemical resistant clothing not required during normal use with
installation tools. Appropriate gloves and protective outerwear
appropriate for the physical hazards typically encountered on
construction sites is recommended.
Respiratory Protection: Not required during normal use with installation tools in well-
ventilated areas or outdoors. Self-contained breathing
apparatus required in confined spaces.
Other Protection: Provide first-aid supplies for significant contact injuries.
