Suitable: Keep tightly closed. Section 8 - Exposure Controls / PPE ENGINEERING CONTROLS Use only in a chemical fume hood. Safety shower and eye bath. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Respiratory: Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N99 (US) or type P2 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Hand: Compatible chemical-resistant gloves. Eye: Chemical safety goggles. GENERAL HYGIENE MEASURES Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling.
