Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Breathing protection if gases/vapours are formed.
Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) organic vapour/particulate respirator. Do not exceed the maximum
use concentration for the respirator facepiece/cartridge combination. For emergency or non-routine, high
exposure situations, use a NIOSH-certified full facepiece pressure demand self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) or a full facepiece pressure demand supplied-air respirator (SAR) with escape provisions.
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields.
General safety and hygiene measures:
Wear protective clothing as necessary to minimize contact. Handle in accordance with good industrial
hygiene and safety practice. Wash soiled clothing immediately.
