Engineering measures : If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist,
use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne
contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.
Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.
The following respirator is recommended if airborne concen-
trations exceed the appropriate standard/guideline.
NIOSH approved, air-purifying particulate respirator with N-
95 filters.
Hand protection
Material : Butyl rubber - IIR
Wearing time : < 60 min
Eye protection : Safety glasses with side-shields

If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be re-
quired instead.
Skin and body protection : Wear suitable protective clothing.
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling
chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the
lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially
contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.
