Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use gloves of stable material (i.e. nitril rubber). Material of gloves: 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. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. Chloroprene rubber, CR, Nitrile rubber, NBR. Recommended thickness of the material: 0.4 mm. Penetration time of glove material: The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Tightly sealed safety glasses.
Not necessary if room is well-ventilated. Use breathing protection only when aerosol or mist is formed. Filter A/P2.
