Other Precautions:AVOID BREATHING OF VAPORS. LABORATORY TESTS ON
ANIMALS HAVE SHOWN THAT EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE SKIN TUMORS. ALWAYS
PROMPTLY WASH OFF ANY EXPOSED SKIN.

Respiratory Protection:WEAR A NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF
VENTILATION DOES NOT MAINTAIN INHALATION EXPOSURES BELOW PEL/TLV.
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IF REQUIRED FOR HIGH LEVELS
OF CONTAMINANTS.
Ventilation:GENERAL (MECHANICAL) OR LOCAL EXHAUST AS REQUIRED TO
PREVENT EXCEEDING RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS.
Protective Gloves:NEOPRENE OR NATURAL RUBBER GLOVES.
Eye Protection:SPLASH GOGGLES OR FACESHIELD.
Other Protective Equipment:INDUSTRIAL-TYPE WORK CLOTHING, HAT AND APRON
