Exposure controls / personal protection

· Additional information about design of technical facilities: No further data

· Control parameters

· Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:

7631-86-9 amorphous silicon dioxide, chemically prepared

WEL (Great Britain) Short-term value: 2.4 mg/m³

Long-term value: 6 E mg/m³

· Additional information: Based on lists valid at date of MSDS creation.

· Exposure controls

· Personal protective equipment:

· General protective and hygienic measures: The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.

· Respiratory protection: If the WEL value is exceeded. Filter P2

· Protection of hands:

Protective gloves.

Wear gloves for protection against mechanical hazards according to EN 388.

Use gloves of stable material (e.g. Nitrile) - if necessary tricoted to improve the wearability.

Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended.

After use of gloves apply skin-cleaning agents and skin cosmetics.

· Material of gloves

EN 388: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.

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.

Butyl rubber, BR

Nitrile rubber, NBR

Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.35 mm

· Penetration time of glove material

EN 420: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.

For the mixture of chemicals mentioned below the penetration time has to be at least 480 minutes

(Permeation according to EN 374 Part 3: Level 6).

· Eye protection: Safety glasses.

· Body protection: Protective work clothing.
