8.2 Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment:
General protective and hygienic measures:
The usual precautionary measures should be adhered to when handling chemicals.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Do not inhale dust/smoke/mist.
Vacuum contaminated clothing. Do not blow or brush off contamination.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Use skin protection cream for skin protection.
Breathing equipment:
At formation of dust:
Short term filter device (EN 149):
Filter P1
If vapors form, use suitable respiratory protective device.
Filter A (color code: brown)
Protection of hands:
Chemical resistant gloves (EN 374)
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/substance/preparation.
Selection of the glove material in consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended. After use of gloves apply skin-cleaning agents and skin cosmetics.
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.
For undissolved solid substances following materials may be suitable:
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Butyl rubber, BR
Polychloroprene rubber (CR)
Fluorocarbon rubber (FKM)
Penetration time of glove material:
