Exposure controls / personal protection

Personal protective equipment:

Respiratory protection:

When handling for a short time:

Respirator with P3 particle filter

In the event of prolonged exposure during handling:

In the case of respirable dust, use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.

Hand protection:

Applies to handling for brief periods or of small amounts:

Glove material: Nitrile, for example, Dermatril 740, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany

Material thickness: 0.11 mm

Method: DIN EN 374

Applies to handling for longer periods or of large amounts:

Glove material: Nitrile/Chloroprene, for example, Nitopren 717, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany

Material thickness: 0.65 mm

Method: DIN EN 374

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.

Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.

The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by analogy with similar materials.

Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).

Eye protection:

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166

or

When handling larger quantities: basket-shaped glasses
