Personal Protective Equipment
Pictograms
‐
Respiratory
‐
When used with adequate ventilation, a respirator is not normally required. If required,
use a NIOSH-approved air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge or supplied
air respirator. This product is an encapsulated mixture which reduces the likelihood of
exposure to hazardous particulates. Airborne exposures to hazardous dusts or mists
may be generated by spraying, sanding or grinding.
Eye/Face

‐
Wear ANSI approved safety glasses with side shields or safety goggles.
Hands

‐
Wear chemical protective gloves made of Nitrile or Neoprene.
Skin/Body
‐
Wear clothing that covers the skin to prevent skin exposure.
General Industrial
Hygiene Considerations

‐
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke during work.
Wash hands before eating.
Engineering
Measures/Controls

‐
Adequate ventilation systems as needed to control concentrations of airborne
contaminants below applicable threshold limit values.
