Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks

and at the end of

workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under

appropriate

government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique

(without

touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves

after

use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

method:

EN374

If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374,

contact the

supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by

anindustrial hygienist and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our

customers. It

should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario.

Body Protection

Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected

according to

the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection

Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle

respirator type

N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the

respirator is the

sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components

tested and

approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Control of environmental exposure

Do not let product enter drains.
