Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Protective gloves. Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Material of gloves: Butyl rubber, BR (0.6-0.8mm). Penetration time of glove material: 480 min. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Tightly sealed goggles
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
