Exposure controls

Personal protective equipment:

General protective and hygienic measures:

The usual precautionary measures for handling chemicals should be followed.

Breathing equipment: Not required.

Protection of hands:

SProtective 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

degradationMaterial 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: Safety glasses
