08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

General ventilation.

Hands

Material: NBR: acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, Material thickness: ≥ 0,11 mm, Breakthrough times: >480 minutes (permeation: level 6). Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. In the case of wanting to use the gloves again, clean them before taking off and air them well. For special purposes, it is recommended to check the resistance to chemicals of the protective gloves mentioned above together with the supplier of these gloves.

Eyes

Wear eye/face protection.

Respiratory

In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection. Particulate filter device (EN 143). P2 (filters at least 94 % of airborne particles, color code: White). ABEK-P2.

Environmental

Use appropriate container to avoid environmental contamination. Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
