Limiting and monitoring exposure

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:

Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term exposure: gas filter for organic gases / vapors (boiling point> 65 ° C, eg EN 14387 Type A).

Protection of hands:

Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)

Suitable materials for short-term contact or splashes (recommended: at least protection index 2, corresponding to> 30 minutes permeation time as per EN 374)

Butyl rubber (butyl) - 0,7 mm thickness

Nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm thickness

Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of glove manufacturers, or is derived by analogy with similar substances. It should be noted that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in practice due to many influencing factors (eg temperature) may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Due to the large variety of instructions, the manufacturer must be observed.

Eye protection:

Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (eg EN 166)

Body protection:

Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, eg Apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust)
