Exposure controls / personal protection
This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 18(4) for transportedisolated intermediates. Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering,administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk -based management systems is available at each Manufacturing site.
Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions has been received from every affected Distributor or Manufacturer / Downstream User of the Registrant’s intermediate.
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
. Be sure to clean skin thoroughly after work and before breaks.
. 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 (EN 14387)
Protection of hands:
. Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III (EN 374).
. Heat protection gloves (in case of elevated storage- and transport temperature).
Material of gloves
. Nitrile rubber
.. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0,425 mm
.. Value for the permeation: > 480 min
. Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton) / Butyl rubber
.. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0,7 mm
.. Value for the permeation: > 480 min
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Penetration time of glove material
. The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
As protection from splashes gloves made of the following materials are suitable:
. Nitril rubber, NBR
. Butyl rubber, BR
Eye protection:
. Tightly sealed safety glasses (EN 166)
. Gauze goggles
Body protection:
. Protective work clothing (EN 340).
