If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which
differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This
recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist
and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our
customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use
scenario.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must
be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance
at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface
particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as
a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection,
use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN
(EU).
Control of environmental exposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
