Wear full protective clothing if exposed to splashes.
Consult the glove/clothing manufacturer to determine the appropriate type
glove/clothing for a given application.
Wash contaminated skin promptly.
Launder contaminated clothing and clean protective equipment before reuse.
Have safety shower available at locations where skin contact can occur.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory protection: Avoid breathing vapour or mist.
Use approved respiratory protection equipment (full facepiece recommended) when
airborne exposure limits are exceeded.
If used, full facepiece replaces the need for face shield and/or chemical goggles.
Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for
a given application.
Observe respirator use limitations specified by the manufacturer.
The respirator use limitations specified by the manufacturer must be observed.
Ventilation: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to control exposure levels below airborne
exposure limits.
If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination
such as processing equipment.
Components referred to herein may be regulated by specific Canadian provincial legislation. Please refer to exposure
limits legislated for the province in which the substance will be used.
