7. Handling and Storage
Read carefully all cautions and directions on product label before use. Since empty container retains residue,
follow all label warnings even after container is empty. Dispose of empty container according to all regulations.
Do not reuse this container.
Precautions To Be Taken in Handling
Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry place. Do not store near flames or at elevated
temperatures.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
For OSHA controlled work place and other regular users --Use only with adequate ventilation under engineered
air control systems designed to prevent exceeding appropriate TLV. For occasional use, where engineered air
control is not feasible, use properly maintained and properly fitted NIOSH approved respirator for organic solvent
vapors. A dust mask does not provided protection against vapors.
Respiratory Equipment (Specify Type)
Safety glasses, chemical goggles or face shields are recommended to safeguard against potential eye contact,
irritation, or injury. Contact lenses should not be worn while working with chemicals.
Eye Protection
Wear gloves resistant to MEK. Consult with your safety supplier for the proper glove material depending on your
specific use and conditions. Gloves contaminated with product should be discarded. Promptly remove clothing
that becomes soiled with product.
Protective Gloves
Various application methods can dictate the use of additional protective safety equipment, such as impermeable
aprons, etc., to minimize exposure. 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.
Other Protective Clothing
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.
Engineering Controls (Ventilation etc.)
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.
