*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:NONE REQUIRED WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION
    CONDITIONS EXIST. IF EXCESSIVE DUSTS OR FIBERS PRESENT, A
    NIOSH-APPROVED DUST RESPIRATOR IS RECOMMENDED. IF CONCENTRATION
    EXCEEDS CAPACITY OF RESPIRATOR, USE S ELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS.
Ventilation:MECHANICAL (GENERAL AND/OR LOCAL EXHAUST) VENTILATION TO
    MAINTAIN EXPOSURE BELOW TLV(S).
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH STATION, QUICK DRENCH SHOWER AND
    IMPERVIOUS CLOTHING
