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
