APPRVD) DURING & AFTER APPLICATN UNLESS AIR MONITORING DEMONSTRATES
VAP/MIST LEVELS ARE BELOW APPLIC LIMS. FOLLOW RESP MFR'S DIRECTIONS
FOR RESP USE. I N OUTDOOR/OPEN AREAS USE (NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD) MECH
FILTER RESP TO REMOVE SOLID AIRBORNE PARTICLES OF OVERSPRAY DURING
SPRAY APPLICATN. IN RESTRICTED VENT(SUPDAT)
Ventilation:USE VENT AS REQ TO CTL VAP CONCS. AVOID PRLNGD/RPTD BRTHG
OF VAPS. IF EXPOS EXCEEDS TLV, USE NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD RESPIRATOR TO
PREVENT OVEREXPOSURE.
Protective Gloves:WEAR RESIST GLOVES SUCH AS NATURAL RUB, NEOPRENE,
BUNA N/NITRILE.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPROVED CHEM WORKERS GOGGS .
Other Protective Equipment:EMERGENCY EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER WHICH
MEET ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA . AN APRON SHOULD BE WORN TO AVOID SKIN
