- Components with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:

64-17-5 ethanol

OEL 1900 mg/m3, 1000 ml/m3

- DNELs (Derived no-effect level) No information available

- PNECs (predicted no effect concentration) No information available

- Additional information: The lists that were valid during the compilation were used as basis.

- 8.2 Exposure controls

- Personal protective equipment

- General protective and hygienic measures

The usual precautionary measures should be adhered to general rules for handling chemicals.

Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.

Take off immediately all contaminated clothing

Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.

Do not inhale dust

- Breathing equipment: Use breathing protection only if dust is formed.

- Recommended filter device for short term use: Combination filter A-P2

- Protection of hands: Protective gloves (EN 374).

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.

- 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 trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be

observed.

- Eye protection: Tightly sealed safety glasses.

- Body protection: Protective work clothing.
