Eye/Face Protection: Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment
for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as
NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin Protection: Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper
glove removal technique - without touching outer surface of glove - to avoid skin contact
with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable
laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. The type of protective equipment
must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at
the specific workplace.

Respiratory Protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are

appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (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. Use respirators and components tested
and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Other Protective Clothing or Equipment: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent

exposure.
