Engineering Controls: Mechanical ventilation: Not required
under normal conditions. Provide ventilation if vapour
concentrations exceed the exposure standards.
Personal Protection:
Gloves – Impervious natural rubber, butyl rubber, nitrile or
PVC gloves should be worn.
Note: Resistance of glove materials can vary. Evaluate
resistance under conditions of use and maintain PPE
carefully.
Eye protection – Safety glasses should be worn.
Respiratory – Not normally needed, but if exposure standards
are exceeded, wear air supplied mask or full face respirator.
