OES (Great Britain) Long-term value: 5 mg/m
Additional information: The lists that were valid during the compilation were used as basis.
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. Avoid contact with the eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke
while working.
Respiratory protection:
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.
Recommended filter device for short-term use: Filter P2.
Protection of hands:
Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III. The glove material has to be
impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the preparation. After use of gloves apply skin-
cleaning agents and skin cosmetics.
Material of gloves:
Nitrile.
The selection of 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.
Recommended thickness of the material: 鈮?01 mm. .1
Penetration time of glove material:
The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to
be observed.
Value for the permeation: Level 鈮?6 (480 min).
Eye protection:
Tightly sealed safety glasses.
Body protection:
Light weight protective clothing.
