ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General and/or local exhaust ventilation is recommended to maintain air quality and keep airborne
exposures below recommended occupational exposure limits. Eyewash stations and washing facilities
should be located in close proximity to work operations in which this product is used.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment selections vary based on potential exposure conditions such as
applications, handling practices, concentration and ventilation. Information on the selection of protective
equipment for use with this material, as provided below, is based upon intended, normal usage.
Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection is not expected to be required under normal usage of this
material. A NIOSH approved respirator is recommended in situations where airborne contaminant
concentration has not been confirmed to be below safe levels.
Skin Protection: No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. If prolonged or
repeated contact is likely, chemical resistant gloves are recommended. If contact with forearms is likely,
wear gauntlet style gloves. In instances where splashing or soaking is expected, wear oil or chemical
resistant clothing.
Eye Protection: Under normal expected conditions, safety glasses with side shields are appropriate. In
instances where contact is more likely to occur, chemical goggles or a full face shield is recommended.
Skin and Body Protection: No protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of use. If
prolonged or repeated contact is likely, chemical, and oil resistant clothing is recommended.
Specific Hygiene Measures: Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after
handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot
be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
