⚠️ Handling Precautions
• Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.
• Wear suitable protective clothing and eye/face protection.
• Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing.
• Keep container tightly sealed.
• This product may cause irritations; wash your hands after every contact.
🏪 Storage Conditions
• Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place.
• Protect from the effects of light.
🔥 Fire Prevention Measures
Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🧤 Hand Protection
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN ISO 374-1): butyl rubber (butyl) - 0.7 mm coating thickness fluoroelastomer (FKM) - 0.7 mm coating thickness. Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing. Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
👁️ Eye Protection
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
😷 Respiratory Protection
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Gas filter for gases/vapours of organic compounds (boiling point >65 ℃, e. g. EN 14387 Type A)
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).
