Eye and Face protection Safety goggles as for EN 166; facial shield.

Skin protection
- hands protection Gloves resistant to chemical agents.
The gloves material must be waterproof and stable against the mixture content.
Select the glove material on the basis of the type of the material, typical or minimal breakdown times, permeability ranges, and thickness.
Material : nitrile (nitrilic rubber), ipoallergenic.
Thickness : not inferior to 0.12 mm
- other, body protection Select the suitable protective equipment based on the activity of use and possible exposure. Wear gauntlets, boots, bodysuit and other devices in accordance with EN 13982 in case of powders.

Respiratory protection When the risk evaluation foresees the need to use respirator devices with assisted ventilation, use a powder filter like P1, P2 and P3. Use only devices approved by the Competent Authorities such as NIOSH (USA) and CEN (EU). The powder is divided into three categories: 2a (inert powder with a TLV of 10 mg/m3), 2b (0.1 to 10 mg/m3 TLV with harmful mixtures (except asbestos)), 2c (toxic mixtures with a TLV <0, 1 mg/m3 (asbestos, carcinogens, spores, bacteria, viruses, proteolytic enzymes). Cat 2a: P1 filter, Category 2b: P2 filter, Cat.2c: P3 filter.
In the case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory exposures in the eyes and skin and feed.

Stability and reactivity

The substance is stable at the normal condition of temperature and pressure and if stored in closed containers in well ventilated and cool place
