This is a commercial product whose exact ratio of components may vary slightly . Minor quantities of other non hazardous |
ingredients are also possible . |
The SWA TWA exposure value is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a |
5 day working week . The STEL ( Short Term Exposure Limit ) is an exposure value that may be equalled ( but should not be exceeded ) for no longer than |
15 minutes and should not be repeated more than 4 times per day . There should be at least 60 minutes between successive exposures at the STEL . |
The term " peak " is used when the TWA limit , because of the rapid action of the substance , should never be exceeded , even briefly . |
