Exposure controls / Personal protective equipment

General protective and hygienic measures:

The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.

Respiratory protection:

If the WEL value is exceeded.

Recommended filter device for short term use: Filter P2

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.

Protection of hands:

Protective gloves:

Check the permeability prior to each new use of the glove.

Wear gloves for protection against mechanical hazards according to EN 388.

Use gloves of stable material (e.g. Nitrile) - if necessary tricoted to improve the wearability.

Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended.

After use of gloves apply skin-cleaning agents and skin cosmetics.

Material of gloves:

EN 388: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.

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.

Butyl rubber, BR

Nitrile rubber, NBR

Leather gloves

Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.35 mm

Penetration time of glove material:

EN 420: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.

For the mixture of chemicals mentioned below the penetration time has to be at least 480 minutes

(Permeation according to EN 374 Part 3: Level 6).

Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials:

Strong material gloves (leather, cloth)

Eye protection:

Safety glasses.

Body protection:

Protective work clothing

Stability and reactivity

Chemical stability:

No decomposition if used according to specifications.

Possibility of hazardous reactions:

No dangerous reactions known.

Conditions to avoid:

In case of thermal decomposition caused by smouldering and incomplete combustion toxic fumes may be developed.

Incompatible materials:

Protect from contamination.

Hazardous decomposition products:

Toxic metal oxide smoke

Disposal considerations

Precautions for disposal / Waste treatment methods

Recommendation:

Disposal must be made according to official regulations.

Waste disposal key:

The disposal of the product has to be carried out in accordance with the legal requirements. EWC waste codes are strictly industry-oriented, therefore waste classification has to be done by the waste producer.

Uncleaned packaging

Recommendation:

Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
