Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended if significant dusting occurs or fumes are generated.
Otherwise, use general exhaust ventilation. Use explosion-proof ventilation.
Respiratory Protection: Not normally needed. Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below guidelines listed above.
Use an appropriate approved air-purifying respirator equipped with HEPA cartridges/canisters where
there is the potential for exceeding established occupational exposure limits.
Eye/Face Protection: Use safety glasses.
Hand Protection: Not normally needed
Skin Protection: Not normally needed.
Hearing Protection: Not normally needed. During firing use hearing protection.
General Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using this product. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
