longer exposure use breathing apparatus that is independent of circulating air.
· Recommended filter device for short term use: Filter P2
· Protection of hands:
Rubber gloves
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. As the product is a preparation of several
substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore
to be checked prior to the application.
· 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.
· Eye protection: Tightly sealed safety glasses.
· Body protection: Protective work clothing.

Stability and reactivity

· Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided:
No decomposition if used according to specifications.
· Materials to be avoided:
· Dangerous reactions No dangerous reactions known
· Dangerous products of decomposition: No dangerous decomposition products known

Disposal considerations

· Product:
· Recommendation Must be specially treated under adherence to official regulations.
· Uncleaned packagings:
