PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: 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.
RESPIRATORY 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.
SKIN PROTECTION: Use gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection.
EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further guidance regarding types of
personal protective equipment and their applications.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing
immediately and launder before reuse.

11. Toxicological information
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - EYE CONTACT: Irritating, and may injure eye tissue if not removed promptly.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - SKIN CONTACT: Low hazard for usual industrial handling or commercial handling by trained
personnel.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INHALATION: Avoid breathing fumes, spray, vapors, or mist. High gas, vapor, mist or dust
concentrations may be harmful if inhaled.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - INGESTION: Expected to be a low ingestion hazard.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE - CHRONIC HAZARDS: Contains Titanium Dioxide. Titanium Dioxide is listed as a Group
2B-"Possibly carcinogenic to humans" by IARC. No significant exposure to Titanium Dioxide is thought to occur during the use of
