Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.

Avoid contact with the eyes.Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Breathing equipment:

In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer

exposure use

respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.

Protection of hands:

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.

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.

Eye protection:

Tightly sealed goggles
