• Personal protective equipment
• General protective and hygienic measures
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing.
Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
Store protective clothing separately.
Avoid contact with the eyes.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
• Breathing equipment:
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use breathing filter apparatus.
In case of intensive or longer exposure use breathing apparatus that is independent
of circulating air.
• Protection of hands:
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/
the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the
product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
• 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: Light weight protective clothing
