Exposure controls:
Engineering measures:
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
See section 7.1.
Individual protection measures:
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
Eye/face protection:
Safety glasses
Hand protection:
| full contact: |
Glove material: Glove thickness: Break through time: |
Viton(R) 0.70 mm >480mm |
| splash contact: |
Glove material: Glove thickness: Break through time: |
Nitrile Rubber 0.40 mm >10 mm |
The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 890 Vitoject® (full contact), KCL 730 Camatril® -Velours (splash contact).The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests acc. to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types.This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves
Other protective equipment:
protective clothing
Respiratory protection:
required when vapours/aerosols are generated.Empfohlener Filtertyp: Filter A (acc. to DIN 3181) for vapours of organic compounds The entrepeneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
Environmental exposure controls:
Do not empty into drains.
