protective cream on face, hands and all exposed areas.

Ventilation When used as a tank lining or in enclosed areas,

thorough air circulation must be used during and after
application until the coating is cured. The ventilation
system should be capable of preventing the solvent
vapor concentration from reaching the lower explosion
limit for the solvents used. In addition to ensuring proper
ventilation, appropriate respirators must be used by all
application personnel.

Caution This product contains flammable solvents. Keep away
