· Additional information: The lists that were valid during the creation were used as basis.
· Personal protective equipment
· General protective and hygienic measures
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Avoid contact with the skin.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
· Breathing equipment: Suitable respiratory protective device recommended.
· Protection of hands:
If skin contact cannot be avoided, protective gloves are recommended to
avoid possible sensitization.
Solvent resistant 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.
· For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g.
Laboratory) gloves made of the following material are suitable:
Wear protective gloves based on polyvinyl alcohole.
· For the permanent contact of a maximum of 15 minutes gloves made of the following
materials are suitable:
Butyl rubber, BR
Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Chloroprene rubber, CR
· Eye protection: Protective goggles are recommended.
· Body protection: Light weight protective clothing
