reduce exposure
Ensure adequate ventilation. Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is required.
Personal protective equipment
Eye protection It is good practice to wear goggles when handling any chemical. Tightly fitting safety
goggles.
Hand protection Repeated or prolonged contact:, Use protective gloves made of:, Neoprene, Rubber,
Frequent change is advisable.
