Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Tightly sealed goggles. Avoid contact with the eyes.
Skin protection
Wear protective gloves. 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. Selection of the glove material on consideration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Body protection
Avoid contact with the skin. Wear appropriate clothing. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
Respiratory protection
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
