Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
Engineering Controls
Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment. If handled uncovered, arrangements with local exhaust ventilation have to be used.
Hand Protection
Wear suitable gloves. When handling with chemical substances, protective gloves must be worn. In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. Check leak tightness/impermeability prior to use. By short-term hand contact Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber) Thickness of the glove material: 0,12 mm Breakthrough time > 480 min. By long-term hand contact Suitable material: NBR (Nitrile rubber) Thickness of the glove material: 0,38 mm Breakthrough time > 480 min
Eye Protection
Eye glasses with side protection
Respiratory Protection
Usually no personal respirative protection necessary.
Skin/Body Protection
Wear suitable protective clothing. When handling with chemical substances, protective clothing must be worn.
