Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Prevent formation of aerosols.
Store container tightly sealed at a cool and dry place with sufficient ventilation.
Observe the general rules of industrial fire protection.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/substance/preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product / preparation / chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material in consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Material of gloves: Nitrile rubber, NBR, Butyl rubber, BR, Natural rubber, NR. 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. Penetration time of glove material: ≥480 min nitrile rubber (~0.35 mm), > 480 min (Butyl rubber ~0.5 mm), 480 min (natural rubber 0.5 mm). The exact penetration time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. The above-mentioned times are based on reference values as per EN 374. Under practical conditions (33 °C – taking into account the body temperature), the maximum wearing time is to be limited to one-third.
