🧤 Hand Protection
Chemically resistant protective gloves. EN 374. 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. The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. Gloves must be replaced after each use and whenever signs of wear or perforation appear. Butyl rubber 1 (> 10 minutes) 0,42 - 0,8 EN ISO 374
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear closed safety glasses. EN 166
😷 Respiratory Protection
In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Breathing apparatus with filter. AX. EN 14387. 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
Use protective clothing. Wear suitable protective clothing. EN 340. EN 13034
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
