Protective gloves

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the
preparation/ the chemical mixture.
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 can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be
checked prior to the application.
· 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.
· For the permanent contact gloves made of the following materials are suitable:
Butyl rubber, BR
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Neoprene gloves
PVC gloves
Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)

· General notes:
Water hazard class 1 (German Regulation) (Self-assessment): slightly hazardous for water
Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage
system.
Must not reach sewage water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized.
Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to increased pH-values. A
high pH-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably
reduced, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-
dangerous.

consultation with the waste disposal facility operator and the pertinent authorities and adhering to the
necessary technical regulations.
· Uncleaned packaging:
