- Goggles or face shield with goggles, dependent upon potential exposure
Skin
- Protective gloves: Rubber
Dependent upon degree of potential exposure, additional personal protective
equipment may be required, such as chemical boots and full protective clothing.

respirator should be used if a mist or vapor is generated. A NIOSH/ MSHA approved self-contained
breathing apparatus or air-supplied respirator is recommended if the concentration exceeds the
capacity
of cartridge respirator.
