Exposure controls / personal protection

· Exposure controls

· Personal protective equipment:

· General protective and hygienic measures:

Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.

Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.

Store protective clothing separately.

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.

· Recommended filter device for short term use: Combination filter A-P2

· Protection of hands:

Protective gloves.

Avoid direct contact with the chemical/ the product/ the preparation by organisational measures.

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

Check the condition of the gloves prior to each use.

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.

Use gloves of stable material (e.g. Nitrile) - if necessary tri-coted 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

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.

Nitrile rubber, NBR

Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)

Recommended thickness of the material: >= 0.4 mm

· Penetration time of glove material

The exact break through time has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

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).

· For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g. Laboratory)

gloves made of the following material are suitable:

Nitrile rubber, NBR

Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)

· For the permanent contact gloves made of the following materials are suitable:

Nitrile rubber, NBR

Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)

· For the permanent contact of a maximum of 15 minutes gloves made of the following materials are suitable:

Natural rubber, NR

PVC gloves

Butyl rubber, BR

· Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials:

Leather gloves

cloth gloves
