SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Components with workplace control parameters

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
Engineering measures : Local ventilation recommended - mechanical ventilation may
be used.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : General and local exhaust ventilation is recommended to
maintain vapor exposures below recommended limits. Where
concentrations are above recommended limits or are
unknown, appropriate respiratory protection should be worn.
Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and
use NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators. Protection provided
by air purifying respirators against exposure to any
hazardous chemical is limited. Use a positive pressure air
supplied respirator if there is any potential for uncontrolled
release, exposure levels are unknown, or any other
circumstance where air purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.

Hand protection
Remarks : butyl-rubber

Eye protection : Chemical splash goggles with face shield.

Skin and body protection : Protective clothing to minimize skin contact should be worn.
Chemically resistant safety shoes. Wash contaminated
clothing with soap and water and dry before reuse. Safety
showers and eyewash stations should be provided in all
areas where this material is handled.

Protective measures : Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Hygiene measures : Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Use protective skin cream before handling the product.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing and wash it
before reuse.
