Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment:
General protective and hygienic measures:
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Respiratory protection:
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or
longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
Filter A/P2
Protection of hands:
Protective gloves
