applicable.
Component Regulation Type of listing Value
2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3- Dow IHG TWA 1,5 mg/m3
one
Dow IHG STEL 4,5 mg/m3

Exposure controls
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of
preferred glove barrier materials include: Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile"
or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Avoid gloves made of: Polyvinyl
alcohol ("PVA"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application
and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant
workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled,
physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential
body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided
by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as
respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. In misty atmospheres, use an approved particulate respirator.
The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Particulate filter.
