Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. See Section 7 for information about design of technical facilities.
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. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Tightly sealed goggles
Suitable respiratory protective device recommended.
Control measures must be made in accordance with Community environmental protection legislation.
