8.2. Exposure controls

Protective equipment

Appropriate engineering Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of vapours. Observe any occupational
controls exposure limits for the product or ingredients.

Eye/face protection Wear chemical splash goggles.

Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn if
a risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves
should comply with European Standard EN374. For exposure up to 4 hours, wear gloves
made of the following material: Butyl rubber. It should be noted that liquid may penetrate the
gloves. Frequent changes are recommended. The most suitable glove should be chosen in
consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the
breakthrough time of the glove material.

Other skin and body Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact.
protection

Hygiene measures Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. Do not
smoke in work area. Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using
the toilet. When using do not eat, drink or smoke.

Respiratory protection No specific recommendations. Respiratory protection must be used if the airborne
contamination exceeds the recommended occupational exposure limit. Wear a respirator fitted
with the following cartridge: Gas filter, type AX.
