PERSON AL PROTECTION
EN GIN EER IN G CON TR OL S: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-
ventilation.
RESPIR ATORY PROTECTION : A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must
be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an
organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to
exceed exposure limits.
Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for
an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or in any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not
provide adequate protection.
SKIN PROTECTION : Use impervious gloves to prevent skin contact and absorption of this material through the skin. Nitrile or
Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection. Use gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION : Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
OTH ER PROTECTIVE EQU IPM ENT: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information regarding personal
protective equipment and its application. Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further guidance regarding types of
personal protective equipment and their applications.
HYGIEN IC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated
clothing immediately and launder before reuse.

10. Stability and Reactivity
CONDITION S TO AVOID: Flammable hydrogen gas will evolve when product comes in contact with water or damp air. Heat will
be generated. The amount of heat generated will depend upon the volume of material in contact. Avoid all possible sources of
ignition. Avoid temperatures above 120 ° F. Avoid contact with strong acid and strong bases.
IN COM PATIBIL ITY: Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and strong alkalies.
HAZARD OU S D ECOM POSITION: By open flame, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. When heated to decomposition, it
emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Contains solvents which may form carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and formaldehyde.
HAZARD OU S POLYM ER IZATION : Will not occur under normal conditions.
STABIL ITY: This product is stable under normal storage conditions.
11. Toxicological information
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSU RE - EYE CON TACT: Causes eye irritation. Substance causes moderate eye irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSU RE - SKIN CON TACT: May cause skin irritation. Substance may cause slight skin irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSU RE - IN H ALATION: Harmful if inhaled. May cause headaches and dizziness. High vapor
concentrations are irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. High gas, vapor, mist or dust concentrations may be harmful if
inhaled. Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. Prolonged or excessive inhalation may cause respiratory tract irritation.
EFFECTS OF OVER EXPOSU RE - IN GESTION: Aspiration hazard if swallowed; can enter lungs and cause damage. Irritating
to the nose, throat and respiratory tract. Harmful if swallowed.
