Product Name: DOWFROST* HD Heat Transfer Fluid, Dyed
Engineering Controls
Ventilation: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels
below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust
ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
