Engineering

Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.

Eyes

Dust proof goggles, if dusty.

Respiratory

Respirator must be worn if exposed to dust. Half mask with a particle filter P2 (EN 143). In case of decomposition (see section 10), face mask with combined type B-P2 cartridge. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus in confined spaces, in cases where the oxygen level is depleted, or in case of significant emissions. Use only respiratory protection that conforms to international/ national standards.

Environmental

Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
