If use in an enclosed space is required, procedures for work in an oxygen deficient environment should be followed. Personal protective equipment : Gloves. Safety glasses. Insufficient ventilation: wear respiratory protection. Hand protection : Gloves should be classified under Standard EN 374 or ASTM F1296. Suggested glove materials are: Neoprene, Nitrile/butadiene rubber, Polyethylene, Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate, PVC or vinyl. Suitable gloves for this specific application can be recommended by the glove supplier. Eye protection : Use eye protection suitable to the environment. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Skin and body protection : Wear long sleeves, and chemically impervious PPE/coveralls to minimize bodily exposure. Respiratory protection : Use NIOSH-approved dust/particulate respirator. Where vapor, mist, or dust exceed PELs or other applicable OELs, use NIOSH-approved respiratory protective equipment. SECTION 9: Physical and Chemical Properties 9.1.
