SECTION 10. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------
VENTILATION PROTECTION
Use only with adequate ventilation to prevent build-up of vapors.
Open all windows and doors. Use only with a cross ventilation of
moving fresh air across the work area. If strong odor is noticed or
you experience slight dizziness, headache, nausea, or eye-watering -
STOP - ventilation is inadequate. Leave area immediately.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
For OSHA controlled work place and other regular users - Use only
with adequate ventilation under engineered air control systems
designed to prevent exceeding appropriate TLV. For occasional use,
where engineered air control is not feasible, use properly main-
tained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for organic
solvent vapors. A dust mask does not provide protection against
vapors.
SKIN PROTECTION
Wear impermeable gloves. Gloves contaminated with product should be
discarded. Promptly remove clothing that becomes soiled with product.
EYE PROTECTION
Safety glasses, chemical goggles or face shields are recommended
PAGE 5
MSDS NO. 1677
--------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 10. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
(CONTINUED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
to safeguard against potential eye contact, irritation, or injury.
Contact lenses should not be worn while working with chemicals.
OTHER PROTECTION
Various application methods can dictate use of additional protective
safety equipment, such as impermeable aprons, etc., to minimize
exposure. A source of clean water should be available in the work
area for flushing eyes and skin. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the
work area. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Before reuse,
thoroughly clean any clothing or protective equipment that has been
contaminated by prior use. Discard any clothing or other
protective equipment that cannot be decontaminated, such as gloves
or shoes.
