Exposure controls / personal protection

Control parameters

Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:

· The product does not contain any relevant quantities of materials with critical values that have to be monitored 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.

· Respiratory protection: Not required.

· Protection of hands:

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.

No recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.

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: Goggles recommended during refilling
