Not applicable
Neutralizing Chemicals:
7. Handling & Storage
Precautionary Statements: No special handling has been shown to be necessary.
Other Handling & Storage Requirements: Avoid overstacking to prevent collapse or breakage of the package. Do not store
near flame or incompatible materials. Maintain good housekeeping to control
dust accumulations.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Ventilation Requirements: Local exhaust for fiber dust only.

Respiratory:
Protective Equipment:
respirator recommended by an industrial hygienist may be necessary.
For operations where eye or face contact can occur, eye protection such as
Eye:
goggles or a face shield is recommended.
Not required
Skin:
Not required
Additional Equipment:
Precautionary Statements: While the product may contain trace amounts of non-toxic surfactants and/or lubricants
approved for textiles, no special handling has been shown to be necessary.
