SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer,
check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be
different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of
several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection
class of 6 (breakthrough time greater than 480 minutes according to EN 374) is
recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class
of 2 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 30 minutes according to EN 374) is
recommended.
Gloves : For prolonged or repeated handling, use the following type of gloves:

Not recommended: nitrile rubber

Recommended: polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), Viton®, butyl rubber

SECTION 11: Toxicological information

Potential delayed effects : Not available.
Potential chronic health effects
Not available.

Conclusion/Summary : Not available.

General : May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Prolonged
or repeated contact can defat the skin and lead to irritation, cracking and/or
dermatitis.
Carcinogenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Mutagenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Teratogenicity : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Developmental effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Fertility effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards.
Other information : Not available.
There are no data available on the mixture itself. The mixture has been assessed following the conventional method of
the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and is classified for toxicological properties accordingly. See Sections 2 and 3
for details.

Exposure to component solvent vapour concentrations in excess of the stated occupational exposure limit may result in
adverse health effects such as mucous membrane and respiratory system irritation and adverse effects on the kidneys,
liver and central nervous system. Symptoms and signs include headache, dizziness, fatigue, muscular weakness,
drowsiness and, in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Solvents may cause some of the above effects by absorption through the skin. Repeated or prolonged contact with the
mixture may cause removal of natural fat from the skin, resulting in non-allergic contact dermatitis and absorption
through the skin.
If splashed in the eyes, the liquid may cause irritation and reversible damage.
Ingestion may cause nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
This takes into account, where known, delayed and immediate effects and also chronic effects of components from
short-term and long-term exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal routes of exposure and eye contact.
