type) under specified conditions (see your industrial hygienist). Engineering or
administrative controls should be implemented to reduce exposure.
VENTILATION:
Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation to maintain
exposure below TLV (S).
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
Wear resistant gloves such as neoprene, Nitrile Rubber, Butyl Rubber.
EYE PROTECTION:
