Additional information: The list that were valid during the compilation were used as basis.
Exposure controls:
Personal protective equipment:
General protective and hygienic measures.
Keep away from foodstuff, beverages and food.
Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
Do not inhale gases/fumes/aerosols.
Breathing equipment:
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use breathing filter apparatus. In case of intensive or longer
Exposure, use breathing apparatus that is independent of circulating air.
Protection of hands:
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to the missing tests, no recommendation to the glove material can be given to 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. 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 breakthrough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be
observed.
Eye protection:
Tightly sealed safety glasses.
