08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Hands

Wear gloves for the protection against mechanical hazards according to NIOSH or EN 388. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. 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 cannot be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. Penetration Time of Glove Material: The exact break through time must be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Eyes

Safety glasses Face protection

Respiratory

Not required under normal conditions of use. Respiratory protection may be required after product use.

Skin/Body

Impervious protective clothing
