Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:
Additional information: The lists valid during the making were used as basis.
Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment:
General protective and hygienic measures: The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals. Do not eat, drink, smoke or sniff while working. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
Respiratory protection: Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol. Filter P3
Protection of hands: Protective gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
Material of gloves: 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 through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
For the permanent contact of a maximum of 15 minutes gloves made of the following materials are suitable: Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)
Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles
