Exposure controls Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should controls be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling this product. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment General information Use personal protective equipment as required. Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment. Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield. Skin protection - Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.
