🧤 Hand Protection
Choosing the proper glove is a decision that depends not only on the type of material, but also on other quality features, which differ for each manufacturer. Please follow the instructions related to the permeability and the penetration time provided by the manufacturer. Gloves must be replaced after each use and whenever signs of wear or perforation appear. Do not use : Natural rubber, Nitrile rubber, Polyvinylchloride (PVC) Type Material Permeation Thickness (mm) Penetration Standard Chemically resistant protective gloves Butyl rubber 4 (> 120 minutes) 0,5 mm EN 374
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear closed safety glasses. EN 166. Use splash goggles when eye contact due to splashing is possible
😷 Respiratory Protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. A2-P2. EN 143. . Breathing equipment is only to be used in order to handle the residual risk of short term jobs if all other risk minimizing measures have been carried out e.g. retention and/or local exhaust
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear suitable protective clothing
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Avoid release to the environment.
