Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Hand: Compatible chemical-resistant gloves. Eye: Chemical safety goggles. ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use only in a chemical fume hood. Safety shower and eye bath.

Storage

Materials to Avoid: Acid chlorides, Acid anhydrides, Oxidizing agents.
