normal workmanlike safety precautions. Hypersensitive
persons should wear protective clothing, gloves and use
protective cream on face, hands and all exposed areas.
Ventilation Vapors and/or spray mist may cause explosion. When
used as a tank lining or in enclosed areas, thorough air
circulation must be used during and after application
until the coating is cured. The ventilation system should
be capable of preventing the solvent vapor
concentration from reaching the lower explosion limit for
the solvents used. In addition to ensuring proper
ventilation, appropriate respirators must be used by all
application personnel.
