The Following Controls are Recommended for Normal Consumer Use of this Product
Appropriate Engineering Controls: Use in a well-ventilated area.
Personal Protection:
Eye Protection: Avoid eye contact. Safety glasses or goggles recommended.
Skin Protection: Avoid prolonged skin contact. Chemical resistant gloves recommended for operations
where skin contact is likely.
Respiratory Protection: None needed for normal use with adequate ventilation.
For Bulk Processing or Workplace Use the Following Controls are Recommended
Appropriate Engineering Controls: Use adequate general and local exhaust ventilation to maintain
exposure levels below that occupational exposure limits.
Personal Protection:
Eye Protection: Safety goggles recommended where eye contact is possible.
Skin Protection: Wear chemical resistant gloves.
Respiratory Protection: None required if ventilation is adequate. If the occupational exposure limits are
exceeded, wear a NIOSH approved respirator. Respirator selection and use should be based on contaminant
type, form and concentration. Follow OSHA 1910.134, ANSI Z88.2 and good Industrial Hygiene practice.
