Hand protection: Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely. Wear
chemical resistant gloves. Recommended: Nitrile gloves. Consult your supervisor
or Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for special handling instructions.
Body protection: No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. For non-routine
tasks, personal protection equipment for the body should be selected based on the
task being performed and the risks involved.
Other skin protection: Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved.
Respiratory protection: No respiratory protection is normally required. If user operation generates an oil
mist, determine if airborne concentrations are below the occupational exposure limit
for mineral oil mist. If not, wear an approved respirator that provides adequate
protection from measured concentrations of this material. The correct choice of
respiratory protection depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions of
work and use, and the condition of the respiratory equipment. For air-purifying
respirators use a particulate cartridge. Use a positive pressure air-supplying
respirator in circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
