NIOSH.                                                                         

VENTILATION:                                                                   

Adequate to maintain working atmosphere below T.L.V. and L.E.L.                

(See Sect. II for ingredient data and concentrations).  Mechanical exhaust     

may be required in confined areas.                                             

Discharge exhaust only in area away from ignition sources.                     

PROTECTIVE GLOVES:  Solvent impermeable gloves are required.                   

EYE PROTECTION : Splash goggles or safety glasses with side shields.           

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:  Clothing adequate to protect skin.                

HYGIENIC PRACTICES:                                                            

Remove and wash clothing before reuse.  Wash hands before eating, smoking      

or using the washroom.
