Control parameters
No EU or national exposure standard is in place.
Exposure controls
Do not generate dust or aerosol
Respiratory protection:
In case of dust or aerosol formation use respirator with an approved filter.

Hand protection:
Impervious gloves
Nitrile, rubber
The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other.
The break through time depends amongst other things on the material, the thickness and the type of glove and therefore has to be measured for each case.
Gloves must be inspected prior to use.
