PERSONAL PROTECTION
General Precaution Provide local exhaust ventilation where dust or mist may be
generated. Ensure applicable exposure limits.
Ventilation Requirements Provide local exhaust ventilation where dust or mist may be
generated. Ensure applicable exposure limits.
Respiratory Protection A NIOSH approved respirator with N95 (dust, fume, mist) filters
may be permissible under certain circumstances where air borne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits , or when
symptoms have been observed that are indicative of over-exposure.
A half face piece air-purifying respirator may be used in
concentrations up to 10X the acceptable exposure level and a full
face piece air-purifying respirator may be used in concentrations upto
50X the acceptable exposure level.
Supplied air should be used when the level is expected to be above
50X the acceptable level , or when there is a potential for
uncontrolled release.
A respiratory protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 must
be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant use of a
respirator.

Protective Clothing Wear protective clothing to minimize skin contact. When potential
for contact with wet material exists, wear Tychem (R) SL or a
similar chemical protective suit . When potential for contact with dry
material exists, wear disposable overalls such as Tyvek (R)
Eye Protection
Gloves
Protective Material Types
Wear chemical resistant safety goggles if eye contact is likely. When
wet mixing, wear splash resistant safety goggles with a face shield.
Provide an emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench.
Wear suitable gloves, Discard contaminated leather goods. When wet
mixing, wear chemical resistant gloves such as butyl rubber, natural
rubber, neoprene or nitrile.
Butyl rubber, canvas, leather, natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile,
Tychem (R) and Tyvek (R).

HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Keep containers
closed. Keep away from heat, sparks and flames. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Storage Store and handle in accordance with all current regulations and
