8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS - PERSONAL PROTECTION (Continued)
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: The following information on appropriate Personal Protective Equipment is provided to
assist employers in complying with OSHA regulations found in 29 CFR Subpart I (beginning at 1910.132, including the
Respiratory Protection Standard (29 CFR 1910.134), Eye Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.13, the Hand Protection
Standard 29 CFR 1910.138, and the Foot Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.136), equivalent standards of Canada
(including the Canadian CSA Respiratory Standard Z94.4-93-02, the CSA Eye Protection Standard Z94.3-M1982,
Industrial Eye and Face Protectors and the Canadian CSA Foot Protection Standard Z195-M1984, Protective Footwear).
Please reference applicable regulations and standards for relevant details.
Respiratory Protection: Maintain airborne contaminant concentrations below exposure limits listed above, if applicable. For materials
without listed exposure limits, minimize respiratory exposure. If necessary, use only respiratory protection authorized under
appropriate regulations. Oxygen levels below 19.5% are considered IDLH by U.S. OSHA. In such atmospheres, use of a full-
facepiece pressure/demand SCBA or a full facepiece, supplied air respirator with auxiliary self-contained air supply is required under
U.S. OSHA’s Respiratory Protection Standard (1910.134-1998).
Eye Protection: Wear splash goggles or safety glasses as appropriate for the task.
Hand Protection: Wash hands and wrists before putting on and after removing gloves. During manufacture or other similar operations,
wear the appropriate hand protection for the process. Use double gloves for spill response, as stated in Section 6 (Accidental
Release Measures) of this SDS. Because all gloves are to some extent permeable and their permeability increases with time, they
should be changed regularly (hourly is preferable) or immediately if torn or punctured. If necessary refer to appropriate regulations.
Skin Protection: Use appropriate protective clothing for the task (e.g., lab coat, etc.). If necessary, refer to the U.S. OSHA Technical
Manual (Section VII: Personal Protective Equipment) or other appropriate regulations. If a hazard of injury to the feet exists due to
falling objects, rolling objects, where objects may pierce the soles of the feet or where employee’s feet may be exposed to electrical
hazards, use foot protection, as described in U.S. OSHA and Canadian Standards.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE BY ROUTE OF EXPOSURE: The health hazard information provided below is pertinent to
employees using this product in an occupational setting. The following paragraphs describe the symptoms of exposure
by route of exposure.
Inhalation: Due to viscosity, inhalation is not a significant route of exposure. Vapors or fumes when used in an enclosed space, if
heated or during curing may cause irritation of the respiratory system. Symptoms include nose irritation, dry or sore or burning
throat, runny nose, shortness of breath.
Contact with Skin or Eyes: Direct eye contact may cause irritation, redness, and tearing from mechanical irritation. Prolonged or
repeated skin exposures may cause dermatitis (dry red skin).
Skin Absorption: Some trace components can be absorbed through intact skin. Unless contact is prolonged and covers a large area of
skin, no significant adverse effects is expected.
Ingestion: Ingestion is not a significant route of occupational exposure and is unlikely to occur. If this product is swallowed, irritation of
the mouth, throat, esophagus and other tissues of the digestive system may occur. Symptoms of ingestion may include nausea,
vomiting, and diarrhea.
Injection: Accidental injection of this product, via laceration or puncture by a contaminated object can cause redness at the site of
injection.
