Exposure controls / personal protection

For one use this substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions. Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk -based management systems is available at each

Manufacturing site.

Exposure controls

Personal protective equipment

General protective and hygienic measures

- The usual precautionary measures should be adhered to general rules for handling chemicals.

- Use skin protection cream for preventive skin protection.

- Be sure to clean skin thoroughly after work and before breaks.

- Take off immediately all contaminated clothing

- Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.

Breathing equipment:

- In case of brief exposure or low pollution use breathing filter apparatus. In case of intensive or longer exposure use breathing apparatus that is independent of circulating air.

- Filter A

Protection of hands:

- Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III (EN 374).

Material of gloves

- Nitrile rubber, NBR

- Butyl rubber, BR

- 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.

Penetration time of glove material

- The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g. Laboratory) gloves made of the following material are suitable:

- Nitril rubber

- Butyl rubber

Eye protection:

- Safety glasses

Body protection:

- Protective work clothing.
