Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Hands

Full contact: Material: butyl-rubber, Minimum layer thickness: 0,7 mm, Break through time: 480 min, Material tested: Butoject (KCL 898). Splash contact: Material: Viton, Minimum layer thickness: 0,7 mm, Break through time: 240 min, Material tested: Vitoject (KCL 890 / Aldrich Z677698, Size M). When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).

Eyes

Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Safety glasses

Respiratory
