Handling and Storage Precautions:CNTNRS OF MATL MAY BE HAZ WHEN
EMPTIED.SINCE EMPTIED CNTNRS RETAIN PROD RESIDUES(VAP,LIQ,&/OR
SOLID),ALL HAZ PREC GIVEN IN DATA SHEET MUST BE OBSERVED
Other Precautions:EXPOS TO AEROSOLS & MISTS WHEN MATL IS SPRAYED MAY
PRESENT GREATER RISK OF INJ FROM COMPONENTS BECAUSE HIGHER CONC ARE
IN ATMOSPHERE THAN RSLT FROM VAP ALONE.PROVIDE ADEQ VENT & IF NEC,
USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION.

Respiratory Protection:IF WORKPLACE EXPOS LIMIT(S) OF PROD/ANY
COMPONENT IS EXCEEDED, A NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD AIR SUPPLIED RESP IS
ADVISED IN ABSENCE OF PROPER ENVIRON CNTRL. OSHA REGS ALSO PERMIT
OTHER NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESP ( NEG PRESS TYPE) UNDER SPECIFIED (ING
