Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls:

Use only with adequate ventilation.

Engineering controls may be required to control the primary or secondary risks associated with this product.

Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits.

The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits.

Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Individual protection measures

Hygiene measures:

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.

Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.

Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.

Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.

Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

Eye/face protection:

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.

If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles and/or face shield.

If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required instead.

Recommended: Wear tightly-sealed safety glasses. (EN166, splash goggles)

Skin protection

Hand protection:

Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.

Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties.

It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers.

In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.

Recommended: Wear suitable gloves tested to EN374.

Body protection:

Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist

before handling this product.
