of an exposure assessment. Consult with your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible
materials.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Under normal use conditions, airborne exposures are not expected to be significant enough to require respiratory protection. Avoid
breathing of vapors.

NFPA Hazard Classification
Health: 2 Flammability: 0 Reactivity: 0 Special Hazards: None
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address the hazards that are
presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on the
inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to
be generated in significant quantities.
No revision information is available.
