inhalation. EYE CONTACT: Will cause irritation to eyes.
SKIN CONTACT: Will cause irritation to skin, prolonged or
repeated contact can cause moderate irritation if not promptly
washed from skin. INHALATION: Inhalation of vapor may
cause headache, nausea, irritation of nose, throat and lungs.

XI. SPECIAL HANDLING AND USE INFORMATION
VENTILATION: Use with adequate ventilation. Use local
exhaust to insure that vapor levels are below the lowest
component TLV. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If there is
not adequate ventilation, use with a NIOSH approved vapor
cartridge respirator. SKIN AND EYE PROTECTION: It is
always a good safety practice to avoid contact with eyes and
prolonged contact with skin. If contact may occur, use chemical
splash goggles and latex or rubber gloves.
XII. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND
STORAGE: Do not store in excessive heat. Keep away from
heat and flame. Keep container closed when not in use.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. OTHER

there may be a potential adverse impact on indoor air quality
within the general work area during the installation process.
Therefore you should advise the building manager or other
appropriate person that:
• It will be necessary to establish and maintain adequate ventilation of
the work area, without causing the entry of contaminants to other parts
of the building; and • Persons who are sensitive to odors and/or
chemicals should be advised to avoid the work area during this
process.
