Prevent all contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors or mists. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep away<br />
from water.<br />
Storage Procedures<br />
Keep container tightly closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials. Keep away<br />
from heat, sparks, open flame and other ignition sources. Avoid prolonged exposures to light.<br />
SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION<br />
Exposure Guidelines<br />
A: General Product Information<br />
No exposure limits are available for this product, however, limit exposure to a minimum.<br />
B: Component Exposure Limits<br />
ACGIH, OSHA, and NIOSH have not developed exposure limits for any of this product’s components.<br />
Engineering Controls<br />
Use local exhaust ventilation to keep exposures to a minimum.<br />
Personal Protective Equipment<br />
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face<br />
Wear safety glasses with side shields. Use chemical goggles and a face shield if gross contamination potential exists.<br />
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin<br />
Use impervious gloves when handling. Use of protective coveralls and long sleeves is recommended to prevent<br />
skin contact.<br />
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory<br />
If ventilation is not sufficient to effectively prevent buildup of dust or fume, appropriate NIOSH respirator<br />
protection must be provided. Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health<br />
and safety professional following requirements found in OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and<br />
ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992).<br />
