Control parameters
Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit
Exposure controls
Engineering measures
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment
Individual protection measures
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
Eye/face protection, Safety glasses
Hand protection full contact:
Glove material: Nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
splash contact:
Glove material: Nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
