Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Hand Protection
Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. Nitrile chemical gloves should be used when handling formaldehyde solutions. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Eye Protection
Tightly sealed goggles. Suitable eye protection, for example, chemical rated safety glasses, goggles or face shield, should be used.
Respiratory Protection
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device. If egineeriing contols cannot provide adequate protectionthen a certified respirator, fitted with an appropriate chemical vapour cartridge such as an A2B2E2K2P3 rated filter should be used. Users must be trained in the care, use, and replacement of respirators and filters.
