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.
Store protective clothing separately.
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 ABEK-P3
Protection of hands:
Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III (EN 374).
Material of gloves
Nitrile rubber
. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0,425 mm
. Value for the permeation: > 480 min
Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton) / Butyl rubber
. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0,7 mm
. Value for the permeation: > 480 min
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:
Butyl rubber, BR
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Eye protection:
Tightly sealed safety glasses.
Gauze goggles
Body protection:
Protective work clothing.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
No further relevant information available.
Chemical stability
Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided:
No decomposition if used according to specifications.
Possibility of hazardous reactions Violent reaction with water at high temperatures
Conditions to avoid No further relevant information available.
Incompatible materials: No further relevant information available.
Hazardous decomposition products: No dangerous decomposition products known
Disposal considerations
Waste treatment methods
Recommendation Remove according to local authority recommendations, e.g. convey to a suitable incinerator.
European waste catalogue
The disposal of waste within the EU is regulated by Directive 2008/98/EC
The waste code classification is to be carried out according to the European Waste Catalogue (EWC) specifically for each branch of industry and each type of process.
Uncleaned packagings:
Recommendation: Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
