Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.
Section 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PROCEDURE FOR HANDLING
■ - Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.
- Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
- Use in a well-ventilated area.
- Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.
SUITABLE CONTAINER
■ - Metal can or drum
- Packaging as recommended by manufacturer.
- Check all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks.
STORAGE INCOMPATIBILITY
■ For alkyl aromatics:
The alkyl side chain of aromatic rings can undergo oxidation by several mechanisms. The most common and dominant one is the
attack by oxidation at benzylic carbon as the intermediate formed is stabilised by resonance structure of the ring.
- Following reaction with oxygen and under the influence of sunlight, a hydroperoxide at the alpha-position to the aromatic ring,
is the primary oxidation product formed (provided a hydrogen atom is initially available at this position) - this product is
often short-lived but may be stable dependent on the nature of the aromatic substitution; a secondary C-H bond is more easily
attacked than a primary C-H bond whilst a tertiary C-H bond is even more susceptible to attack by oxygen
- Monoalkylbenzenes may subsequently form monocarboxylic acids; alkyl naphthalenes mainly produce the corresponding naphthalene
carboxylic acids.
- Avoid any contamination of this material as it is very reactive and any contamination is potentially hazardous.
- Vigorous reactions, sometimes amounting to explosions, can result from the contact between aromatic rings and strong oxidising
agents.
- Aromatics can react exothermically with bases and with diazo compounds.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
■ - Store in original containers.
- Keep containers securely sealed.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
- Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.

MATERIAL DATA
INFASET (CHEMICAL INJECTION ANCHORING SYSTEM):
■ for styrene:Odour Threshold: 0.017 to 1.9 with a geometric average threshold of 0.32 ppm.
NOTE:Detector tubes measuring styrene at greater than 10 ppm are available.<</>.
Exposed individuals are reasonably expected to be warned, by smell, that the Exposure Standard is being exceeded.
Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is determined to fall into either Class A or B.
The Odour Safety Factor (OSF) is defined as:OSF= Exposure Standard (TWA) ppm/ Odour Threshold Value (OTV) ppmClassification into classes follows: Over 90% of exposed individualsare aware by smell that theExposure Standard (TLV- TWA forexample) is being reached, evenwhen distracted by workingactivities As " A" for 50- 90% of personsbeing distracted As " A" for less than 50% ofpersons being distracted 10- 50% of persons aware ofbeing tested perceive by smellthat the Exposure Standard isbeing reached As " D" for less than 10% ofpersons aware of being tested ■ For benzoyl peroxide:The recommendation for the TLV-TWA is based on the absence of subjective symptoms of irritation of the nose and throat in humans exposed to 5.25 mg/m3. Whether this is sufficiently low to prevent cumulative effects in man is not known.
■ Sensory irritants are chemicals that produce temporary and undesirable side-effects on the eyes, nose or throat.
Historically occupational exposure standards for these irritants have been based on observation of workers' responses to variousairborne concentrations.
The mist is considered to be a nuisance particulate which appears to have little adverse effect on the lung and does not produce significant organic disease or toxic effects. OSHA concluded that the nuisance particulate limit would protect the workerform kidney damage and perhaps, testicular effects.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATOR
•Type A-P Filter of sufficient capacity. (AS/NZS 1716 & 1715, EN 143:2000 & 149:2001, ANSI Z88 or national equivalent)
EYE
■ - Safety glasses with side shields.
- Chemical goggles.
- Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document,
describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review
of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid
personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical
exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first
signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands
thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national equivalent].

Section 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
HANDS/FEET
■ - Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
- Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, eg. Rubber.
NOTE:
- The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other
protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
- Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
OTHER
■ - Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
- Barrier cream.
- Skin cleansing cream.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
■ Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to
provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation
that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.
Section 9 - PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

Section 11 - TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SKIN
■ The material may cause moderate inflammation of the skin either following direct contact or after a delay of some time.
Repeated exposure can cause contact dermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material.
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects.
Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
INHALED
■ There is some evidence to suggest that the material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to
such irritation can cause further lung damage.
The use of a quantity of material in an unventilated or confined space may result in increased exposure and an irritating
atmosphere developing. Before starting consider control of exposure by mechanical ventilation.
Acute effects from inhalation of high vapour concentrations may be chest and nasal irritation with coughing, sneezing, headache
and even nausea.
CHRONIC HEALTH EFFECTS
■ There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not enough data to make an assessment.
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general
population.
TOXICITY AND IRRITATION
■ Not available. Refer to individual constituents.
