Exposure controls / personal protection

EXPOSURE CONTROLS:

Avoid exposing to high temperature during processing. Measures should be taken to prevent materials from being splashed onto the body.

Provide adequate ventilation, according to the conditions of use. Use a mechanical exhaust if required.

PERSONAL PROTECTION:

-Respiratory protection: Where ventilation (LEV) is inadequate to prevent any inhalation of substances, use adequate respiratory apparatus (independent or half or full faced mask with A-filter).

-Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN 374: Protective gloves against chemicals. Preferred glove barrier materials: Neoprene and Nitrile. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 4 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 120 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 1 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 10 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Thickness > or = 0.2 mm. Dispose of contaminated gloves afte use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
