Hand Protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching the gloves outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use. Wash and dry hands. Splash contact Material: Nitrile rubber Minimum layer thickness: 0.11 mm Break through time: 480 min Material tested:Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Aldrich Z677272, Size M) Full contact Material: Nitrile rubber Minimum layer thickness: 0.11 mm Break through time: 480 min Material tested:Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Aldrich Z677272, Size M)
Eye Protection
Face shield and safety glasses. Use equipment for eye protection test and approved under approperiate government statments such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU)
Respiratory Protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full face respirator with multi purpose combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN14387 respirator cartridges as a back up to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection use a full face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested & approved under appropriate government standards eg CEN (EU) or NIOSH (US).
Skin/Body Protection
Flame retardent antistatic protective clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Environmental Exposure Controls
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent from entering in public sewers or the immediate environment.
