Facilities storing or using this material should be equipped with an eyewash station and safety shower. Change contaminated
Wear protective goggles or safety glasses with unperforated side shields during use. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.133, ANSI Z87.1
or European Standard EN 166.

Hygiene measures:
Hand Protection:
Wear rubber gloves or gloves recommended by glove supplier for protection against materials in Section 3. Gloves should be
impermeable to chemicals and oil. Breakthrough time of selected gloves must be greater than the intended use period.
Protective clothing. Wear protective boots if the situation requires.
