Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Locale exhaust recommended for exposure control.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: Wear an NIOSH approved respirator whenever high level exposure to vapors or mist anticipated.

Protective gloves: Impervious gloves, neoprene or equivalent. A combination of barrier cream and gloves is recommended.
Skin protection: Wear protective clothing and gloves.
Eye protection: Chemical splash goggles recommended.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: For other operations where contact can occur, use a face shield and impervious apron. A safety shower and eye wash facility should be available.

Special Precautions: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep container closed when not in use. Remove all contaminated clothing immediately and wash. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water after handling. Solvents should not be used to clean skin because of increased penetration potential and protective skin oil can be dissolved by solvents.
