: Any Chemical Cartridge Respirator with a full facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s), or any Air-
Purifying, Full-Facepiece Respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front- or back-mounted organic
vapor canister, or any PAPR with a tight-fitting facepiece and organic vapor cartridge(s), or any
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus with a full facepiece, or any SAR.
Emergency or Planned Entry into Unknown Concentrations or IDLH Conditions: Any SCBA that has a full facepiece and is
operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode, or any SAR that has a full
facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode in combination
with an auxiliary SCBA operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Escape: Any Air-Purifying, Full-Facepiece Respirator (gas mask) with a chin-style, front- or back-mounted
organic vapor canister, or any appropriate escape-type, SCBA.
HAND PROTECTION: Wear Nitrile rubber, Polyethylene, Viton ™ gloves (resistance to breakthrough longer than 8 hours
when tested against a similar petroleum substance) for routine industrial use. Natural rubber and butyl rubber gloves are not
recommended. Resistance of specific materials can vary from product to product. Evaluate resistance under conditions of
use and maintain clothing carefully. Use triple gloves for spill response, as stated in Section 6 (Accidental Release
Measures) of this MSDS. If necessary, refer to U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138, appropriate Standards of Canada, or
appropriate Standards of the European Union.
BODY PROTECTION: If operations will generate splashes or sprays, use body protection appropriate for task (e.g., coveralls
or apron). If necessary, refer to appropriate Standards of Canada or the European Union. If a hazard of injury to the feet
exists due to falling objects, rolling objects, where objects may pierce the soles of the feet or where employee’s feet may be
exposed to electrical hazards, use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.136.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
TOXICITY DATA: Currently, there are no toxicological data available for components
SUSPECTED CANCER AGENT: Petroleum Distillates, Solvent, Aliphatic compounds, such as the main component of this
product are listed as follows:
ACGIH TLV-A3 [Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans: The agent is carcinogenic in experimental animals at a
relatively high dose, by route(s) of administration, at site(s), of histologic type(s), or by mechanism(s) that may not be relevant to worker
exposure. Available epidemiologic studies do not conform an increased risk of cancer in exposed humans. Available evidence does not suggest
that the agent is likely to cause cancer in humans except under uncommon or unlikely routes or levels of exposure.] IARC-3 [Unclassifiable as to
Carcinogenicity in Humans: This category is used most commonly for agents, mixtures, and exposure circumstances for which the evidence of
carcinogenicity is inadequate in humans and inadequate or limited in experimental animals. Exceptionally, agents (mixtures) for which the evidence of
carcinogenicity is inadequate in humans but sufficient in experimental animals may be placed in this category when there is strong evidence that the
mechanism of carcinogenicity in experimental does not operate in humans. Agents, mixtures, and exposure circumstances that do not fall into any
other group are also placed in this category.]
The remaining component of this product is not found on the following lists: FEDERAL OSHA Z LIST, NTP, IARC, and
CAL/OSHA and therefore is neither considered to be nor suspected to be a cancer-causing agent by these agencies.
