Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Keep vapor levels as low as possible, use adequate general or local exhaust.

Hands

Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture. Dispose of gloves after use.

Eyes

Tightly sealed safety glasses or face shield.

Respiratory

If the exposure limit is exceeded use NIOSH approved and tested full-face respirator that is independent of circulating air.

Skin/Body

Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
