Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Wear suitable gloves. Chemical protection gloves are suitable, which are tested according to EN 374. Check leak-tightness/impermeability prior to use. 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. Type of material: NBR (Nitrile rubber). Material thickness: 0,4 mm. Breakthrough times of the glove material: >480 minutes (permeation: level 6)
Use safety goggle with side protection.
Respiratory protection necessary at: Dust formation. Particulate filter device (EN 143). P3 (filters at least 99,95 % of airborne particles, colour code: White). Observe the wear time limits according GefStoffV in combination with the rules for using respiratory protection apparatus (BGR 190).
Take recovery periods for skin regeneration. Preventive skin protection (barrier creams/ointments) is recommended.
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water.
