Exposure Control/ Personal Protection:
Personal Protection
Eye Contact: This product does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity
requiring special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye
contact.
Skin Contact: Although this product does not present a significant skin concern, minimize
skin contamination by following good industrial practice. Wearing
protective gloves is recommended. Wash hands and contaminated skin
thoroughly after handling.
Respiratory: Avoid breathing dust. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection
equipment when airborne exposure limits are exceeded (see below).
Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type of
equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use limitations
specified by NIOSH/MSHA or the manufacturer. Respiratory protection
programs must comply with 29 C.F.R. 19103134
Ventilation: Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to control exposure levels below
airborne exposure limits (see below). The use of local mechanical exhaust
ventilation is preferred at sources of air contamination such as open
