Exposure controls / personal protection

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values. Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values. Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

Individual protection measures

Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on

concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of

the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.

Hygiene measures

Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and

face after working with substance.

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses

Hand protection

splash contact:

Glove material: butyl-rubber

Glove thickness: 0,7 mm

Break through time: > 10 min

The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive

89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374

Other protective equipment

Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing

Respiratory protection

required when vapours/aerosols are generated.

Recommended Filter type: filter ABEK

The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective

devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be

properly documented.

Environmental exposure controls

Do not empty into drains.

Risk of explosion.

Stability and reactivity

Vapour/air-mixtures are explosive at intense warming.

The product is chemically stable under standard ambient conditions (room temperature) .

no information available

Heating.

A range from approx. 15 Kelvin below the flash point is to be rated as critical.

Disposal considerations

Waste material must be disposed of in accordance with the Directive on waste 2008/98/EC as

well as other national and local regulations. Leave chemicals in original containers. No mixing

with other waste. Handle uncleaned containers like the product itself .
