                           form formaldehyde vapors. Formaldehyde is a
                           potential cancer hazard and a known skin and resp-
                           iratory sensitizer. Vapors irritate eyes, nose and
                           throat. Safe handling conditions may be maintained
                           by keeping vapor concentrations below the OSHA
                           permissible limit for formaldehyde.
Primary Routes of Entry:   Skin, ingestion, inhalation.
Signs and symptoms
 of Exposure:              Methyl ethyl ketoxime produced during cure
                           is toxic and irritates eyes, nose and throat.
