Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Closed system. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Organisational measures to prevent /limit releases, dispersion and exposure. See also section 7
🧤 Hand Protection
Viton (R), Butyl rubber. (EN 374) The selection of specific gloves for a specific application and time of use in a working area, should also take into account other factors on the working space, such as (but not limited to): other chemicals that are possibly used, physical requirements (protection against cutting/drilling, skill, thermal protection), and the instructions/specification of the supplier of gloves.
👁️ Eye Protection
Safety glasses (EN166)
😷 Respiratory Protection
In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. Recommended Filter type: A (EN 141). Respirator with a half face mask (EN 140). Respirator with a full face mask (EN 136). Self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus (EN 137)
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
chemical-resistant overalls
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Comply with applicable Community environmental protection legislation.
