🧤 Hand Protection
full contact: Glove material: butyl-rubber Glove thickness: 0,7 mm Break through time: 480 min splash contact: Glove material: natural latex Glove thickness: 0,6 mm Break through time: 30 min The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 898 Butoject (full contact), KCL 706 Lapren (splash contact). The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types. This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. 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).
👁️ Eye Protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles
😷 Respiratory Protection
required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended Filter type: filter E-(P2) The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
