Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product.
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Material: Nitrile rubber. Minimum layer thickness: 0.11 mm. Break through time: 480 min. Material tested: Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Aldrich Z677272, Size M). Tested according to EN374. If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves.
Face shield and safety glasses. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
