Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
EXPOSURE CONTROLS / INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to
keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure
Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its
source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
SKIN PROTECTION Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves,
lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin
contact.
EYE PROTECTION Safety glasses recommended.
