Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

๐Ÿญ Engineering Controls

Ensure adequate ventilation. Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Organisational measures to prevent /limit releases, dispersion and exposure

๐Ÿงค Hand Protection

Nitrile rubber, Polyvinyl alcohol, Rubber gloves, Neoprene gloves . (EN374) 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.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Eye Protection

Safety glasses with side-shields, Goggles (EN 166)

๐Ÿ˜ท Respiratory Protection

In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. Respirator with a full face mask (EN 136) Respirator with a half face mask (EN 140) Recommended Filter type: (Type A - EN 141) High concentrations can remove oxygen and cause dizziness or suffocation. Use compressed air or fresh air breathing apparatus in closed compartments. EN 138/269 / EN139/137

๐Ÿฆบ Skin/Body Protection

Overalls, apron and boots recommended.

๐ŸŒ Environmental Exposure Controls

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.,Comply with applicable Community environmental protection legislation.
