6. Precautions for Use:

Exposure Limits: [NOHSC] *

TLV-TWA: None assigned by NOHSC but see: Nuisance dusts 10 mg/m3

Dox-al recommends a limit TWA of 0.1mg/M3 air

NOEL: The corresponding NOEL (No-observable-effect-level) is set

at 0.03mg/kg/day. Values taken from Australian ADI List,
January 2001.

TLV-STEL: None assigned. * NOHSC - National Occupational Health &

Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia)

Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation (same as outdoors) when using.

If handling industrial quantities, or if dust risk exists,
consider local mechanical exhaust/extraction to keep
airborne contamination within regulatory limits.

Personal Protection: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing dusts.
Personal protection to be selected from those recommended
below, as appropriate to mode of use, quantity handled and
degree of hazard:

Equipment
Normal Use: Eye/face protection. Gloves - rubber or plastic.

Industrial Quantities: Dust mask. Face shield or safety glasses. Gloves - rubber or

7. Handling and Storage

Storage temperature:
Store below 25C (air conditioning) in a cool dry place
Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed
container.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances. Keep refrigerated. (Store below
4C/39F.) Store protected from moisture.

*Observe the requirements of the Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Drugs and Poisons.

Spills and Disposal

Clean up all spills promptly. Contain dry material by sweeping up or vacuuming. Vacuuming
may disperse dust if appropriate dust collection filter is not part of the vacuum. Be aware of
potential for dust explosion when using electrical equipment. Large spills due to traffic
accidents, etc., should be reported immediately to Dox-al Australia Pty. Ltd. Prevent spilled
material from flowing onto adjacent land or into streams, ponds, or lakes. Wear protective
equipment, including eye protection, to avoid exposure.
