Eye/Face Protection
-------------------
Wear eye protection adequate to prevent eye contact with the product and
injury if the product is used with a flame. Plastic-frame spectacles with
side shields are recommended.
Skin Protection
---------------
Wear protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin injuries if the product
is used with a flame. Avoid flammable fabrics.
Respiratory Protection
----------------------
If an exposure level to a component(s) exceeds an applicable standard, use a
NIOSH-approved respirator having a configuration (facepiece, filter media,
assigned protection factor, etc.) effective for the concentration of the
component(s) generated. For guidance on selection and use of respirators,
consult American National Standard Z88.2 (ANSI, New York, NY 10036, USA).
