Exposure controls / personal protection

Technical protection measures:

Mechanical ventilation is recommended. Minimise exposure by partial enclosure of the operation or equipment and provide extract ventilation at openings.

Hand protection:

Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374): e.g. nitrile rubber (>=0.4 mm), butyl rubber (>=0.7 mm) and others. Choosing the proper glove is a decision that depends not only on the type of material, but also on other quality features, which differ for each manufacturer. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. Gloves must be replaced after each use and whenever signs of wear or perforation appear.

Skin and body protection:

Wear suitable protective clothing. Standard. EN ISO 13982

Eye protection:

Wear eye glasses with side protection according to EN 166.

Respiratory protection:

No respiratory protection needed under normal use conditions. If the occupational exposure limit is exceeded an appropriate respirator compliant with EN 149 facemask with protection rating FFP3 (APF20) and EN 143 filter class 3 (high efficiency) is required.
