Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
General protective and hygienic measures
The usual precautionary measures should be adhered to general rules for handling chemicals.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing
Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Store protective clothing separately.

Breathing equipment:
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use breathing filter apparatus. In case of intensive or longer exposure use breathing apparatus that is independent of circulating air.
Filter ABEK

Protection of hands:
Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III (EN 374).
