08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

No further data; see section 7.

Hands

Protective gloves. 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. Information on suitable glove materials is not available at present. However, experience has shown that the glove materials polychloroprene, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, fluororubber and polyvinyl chloride are suitable for protection against undissolved solids. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. NBR: acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber. Material thickness > 0.11 mm. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. level 6 for application > 480 min

Eyes

Safety glasses

Respiratory

Not necessary if room is well-ventilated. Use suitable respiratory protective device in case of insufficient ventilation.

Skin/Body

Protective work clothing (e. g. safety shoes EN ISO 20345, long-sleeved protective working garments).
