Ensure good ventilation of the work station.
Chemically resistant protective gloves. EN 374. For undissolved solid substances following materials may be suitable: Nitrile rubber, Butyl rubber, Chloroprene rubber, Fluoroelastomer (FKM). 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
Wear closed safety glasses. EN 166. Emergency eye wash fountains should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. EN 143. Particle filter. P2. P3. . 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
