Health Maintenance Identification System (HMIS): H/1, F/0, R/0, P/B.





  ================== SECTION VIII - CONTROL MEASURES ====================



RESPIRATORY PROTECTION

If exposure does exceed occupational exposure limits, use a NIOSH approved respirator, or an atmosphere-

supplying respirator, or an air-purifying respirator for organic vapors.



VENTILATION

Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne concentration below exposure standards.



PROTECTIVE GLOVES

Use waterproof gloves for direct contact.



EYE PROTECTION

Use chemical safety goggles.



OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT

Eyewash fountains, safety showers are recommended.



WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES

After use, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking, or smoking. Launder

contaminated clothing.
