limit is likely. A suitable mask with filter type A may be appropriate. In the event of formation of
particularly high levels of vapor a self-contained breathing apparatus may be appropriate.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles.
GLOVES: Wear suitable gloves. Rubber or plastic gloves offer the best protection. Gloves should be changed regularly
and if excessive exposure has occurred.
OTHER: Wear suitable protective clothing.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Do not breathe vapours/dust. Keep away from sources of ignition 鈥? No smoking.
