Note: The PPE rating has intentionally been left blank. Choose appropriate PPE that will protect employees from the hazards the material will present
under the actual normal conditions of use.
Caution: HMIS?ratings are based on a 0-4 rating scale, with 0 representing minimal hazards or risks, and 4 representing significant hazards or risks.
Although HMIS?ratings are not required on MSDSs under 29 CFR 1910.1200, Benjamin Moore & Co., has choosen to provide them. HMIS?ratings are
to be used only in conjunction with a fully implemented HMIS?program by workers who have received appropriate HMIS?training. HMIS?is a
registered trade and service mark of the NPCA. HMIS?materials may be purchased exclusively from J. J. Keller (800) 327-6868.
