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

. Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.

. 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).

Material of gloves

. 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.

For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g. Laboratory) gloves made of the following material are suitable:

. Butyl rubber, BR

As protection from splashes gloves made of the following materials are suitable:

. Nitril rubber,NBR

Eye protection:

. Tightly sealed safety glasses.

. Gauze goggles

Body protection:

. Protective work clothing.
