Engineering measures : No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation
should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust
ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demonstrates
that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines.
Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated
exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe
working limits of the selected respirator.

Filter type : organic vapour filter

Hand protection
Material : neoprene, nitrile, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Viton(R).

Remarks : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an

approved standard should be worn at all times when handling
chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary.

Eye protection : Wear face-shield and protective suit for abnormal processing
problems.

Skin and body protection : Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the
concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to
the specific work-place.

Protective measures : Wash hands and face before breaks and immediately after
handling the product.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
Ensure that eyewash station and safety shower are proximal
to the work-station location.

Hygiene measures : Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves,
