If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full- face respirator. Use a full-face respirator when material is heated or when aerosols/mists are generated. Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area. Skin protection Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier. Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task. Safety shower should be located in immediate work area. Use chemical protective clothing resistant to this material, when there is any possibility of skin contact. Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin area with soap and water, and launder clothing before reuse or dispose of properly. Items which cannot be decontaminated, such as shoes, belts and watchbands, should be removed and disposed of properly. Respiratory protection: Atmospheric levels should be maintained below the exposure guideline. When respiratory protection is required for certain operations, use an approved air- purifying respirator. This product is a respiratory irritant. If discomfort is experienced ventilation is not adequate and an approved full face air-purifying respirator is recommended. If vapors are strong enough to be irritating to the nose, or eyes, the OEL is probably being exceeded. Special ventilation or respiratory protection may be required. For operations such as spraying and other conditions such as emergencies where the exposure guideline may be greatly exceeded, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. For emergency response or for situations where the atmospheric level is unknown, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or positive-pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply. The following should be effective types of air-purifying respirators: Full-face Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter. 9.
