Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measures

- Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Personal protective equipment

Eye protection:

- Safety glasses with side-shields

- Face-shield

Hand protection Remarks:

- Rubber gloves Neoprene gloves

The data about break through time/strength of material are standard values!

The exact break through time/strength of material has to be ob-tained from the producer of the protective glove.

Skin and body protection:

- Complete suit protecting against chemicals

Respiratory protection:

- Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demonstrates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines.

Filter type:

- Organic vapour type (A)

Protective measures:

- Ensure that eye flushing systems and safety showers are located close to the working place.

Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

- None reasonably foreseeable.

Chemical stability

- Stable under normal conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Hazardous reactions:

- Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions.

Conditions to avoid

Conditions to avoid:

- Heat, flames and sparks.

Incompatible materials

Materials to avoid:

- Strong acids and oxidizing agents

- Isocyanates

Hazardous decomposition products

- Carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Carbon monoxide

- Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Product:

- In accordance with local and national regulations.

- Waste must be classified and labelled prior to recycling or disposal.

Contaminated packaging:

- Empty containers should be taken to an approved waste han-dling site for recycling or disposal.
