PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
PROTECTIVE
MEASURES
Use in a well ventilated area. Keep out of reach of children.
If user operations generate dust, fume, or mist, use
ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants
below the respective exposure limits. Use goggles and
gloves. Similar to most latex paints.
GENERAL HYGIENE
Practice reasonable care to avoid repeated, prolonged skin
contact. Wash thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink,
smoke or use personal products when handling chemical
substances.
CONDITIONS FOR
SAFE STORAGE,
INCLUDING ANY

Store at temperatures between 40° F (4.4° C) and 110° F
(43.3° C). Keep container closed when not in use.

, or rubber gloves should provide protection against
skin contact. For most conditions, no respiratory protection
should be needed; however, if material is heated or sprayed, or
areas are poorly vented, wear an approved air-purifying
respirator.
