CONCENTRATIONS WITHIN SPECIFIED TLV RANGES. HEAVY SOLVENT VAPORS SHOULD BE
REMOVED FROM THE LOWER LEVELS OF AREA, AND ALL IGNITION SOURCES ELIMINATED.
VENT VAPORS EMITTED ON HEATING.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: USE NEOPRENE OR SOLVENT RESISTANT GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN
CONTACT.
EYE PROTECTION: SAFETY GLASSES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES AND/OR FACE SHIELDS ARE
RECOMMENDED.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: USE PROTECTIVE CREAM WHERE SKIN CONTACT IS LIKELY.
(EXAMPLE: DUPONT PRO-TEK).
