Control parameters

No EU or national exposure standard is in place.

Exposure controls

Handle only in a place equipped with local exhaust (or other appropriate exhaust).

Respiratory protection:

Wear a positive-pressure supplied-air respirator with full facepiece.

Or

In the case of vapour formation use a respirator with an approved filter.

Respirator with a full face mask.

Respirator with combination filter for vapour/particulate (EN 141).

Hand protection:

The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
