Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Impervious gloves. Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition. The selection of suitable gloves not only depends on the material, but also on quality. Quality will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Material of gloves: Nitrile rubber, NBR. Penetration time of glove material (in minutes): 480. Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Tightly sealed goggles. Full face protection. Safety glasses with side shields / NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU)
Use suitable respirator when high concentrations are present. Recommended filter device for short term use: Use a respirator with type P100 (USA) or P3 (EN 143) cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. Risk assessment should be performed to determine if air-purifying respirators are appropriate. Only use equipment tested and approved under appropriate government standards.
