Flash point:
Impervious, chemically resistant gloves such as neoprene or nitrile rubber to avoid skin
sensitization and absorption.
Use of an apron and overboots of chemically impervious materials such as neoprene or
nitrile rubber is recommended based on level of activity and exposure. If handling hot
material use insulated protective equipment. Launder soiled clothes. Properly dispose of
contaminated leather articles and other materials which cannot be decontaminated.
Store containers away from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials. Extended
storage at excessive temperatures may produce odorous and toxic fumes from product
decomposition.
No additional information.
Applicable mainly to persons in repeated contact situations such as packaging of
product, service/maintenance, and cleanup/spill control personnel.
Use adequate ventilation when working with material in an enclosed area. Mechanical
methods such as fume hoods or area fans may be used to reduce localized vapor/mist
areas. If vapor or mist is generated when the material handled, adequate ventilation in
accordance with good engineering practice must be provided to maintain concentrations
below the specified exposure. Eyewash stations and showers should be available in
areas where this material is used and stored.
Consumption of food and drink should be avoided in work areas where product is
present. Always wash hands and face with soap and water before eating, drinking or
smoking.

204°C.
None required if ventilation is adequate. Otherwise a respiratory protection program
meeting OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed. Where
misting may occur, wear an MSHA/NIOSH approved (or equivalent) half-mask form
dust/mist air purifying respirator.
Eye protection is strongly recommended. Wear safety glasses with side shields or
vented/splash proof goggles (ANSI Z87.1 or approved equivalent).

TWA – Time Weighted Average is the employee’s average airborne exposure in
any 8-hour work shift of a 40-hour work week which shall not be exceeded.
STEL – Short Term Exposure Limit is the employee’s 15-minute time weighted
average exposure which shall not be exceeded at any time during a work day
unless another time limit is specified.
