SAFETY DATA SHEET
01/14/2010Supercedes Revision:
Protective Gloves
Wear impermeable gloves, such as nitrile or neoprene. Gloves contaminated with product should be discarded.
Promptly remove clothing that becomes soiled with product.
Other Protective Clothing
Various application methods can dictate use of additional protective safety equipment, such as impermeable
aprons, etc., to minimize exposure.
Engineering Controls (Ventilation etc.)
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits.
Use only with adequate ventilation to prevent buildup of vapors. Do not use in areas where vapors can accumulate
and concentrate, such as basements, bathrooms or small enclosed areas. Whenever possible, use outdoors in an
open air area. If using indoors open all windows and doors and maintain a cross ventilation of moving fresh air
across the work area. If strong odor is noticed or you experience slight dizziness, headache, nausea or
eye-watering -- STOP -- ventilation is inadequate. Leave area immediately and move to fresh air.
Work/Hygienic/Maintenance Practices
A source of clean water should be available in the work area for flushing eyes and skin.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Before reuse, thoroughly clean any clothing or protective equipment that has been contaminated by prior use.
Discard any clothing or other protective equipment that cannot be decontaminated, such as gloves or shoes.
