3. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
3.1 Exposure Standards
None established.
3.2 Engineering Controls
Provide local exhaust ventilation system. Ventilation equipment should be explosion resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present.
3.3 Personal Protection
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Respiratory protection may be needed under conditions of frequent use or heavy exposure (respirator used should be suitable to the degree of exposure). For low level exposure use any dust, mist or fume respirator. For increased levels of exposure use any air-purifying respirator with a high efficiency particulate filter or any powered, air-purifying respirator with a dust, mist or fume filter. Fir extreme levels use self contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece. Wear chemical safety goggles and rubber gloves.
3.4 Flammability
Decomposes when exposed to fire conditions. Is capable of forming a dust explosion. SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
