Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
路 Breathing equipment:
Not neccessary with efficient local exhaust. If exposition to vapours is possible, use breathing
protective mask (filter A).
路 Protection of hands:
If skin contact cannot be avoided, protective gloves are recommended to avoid possible
sensitization.
Solvent resistant gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the
preparation.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and
the degradation
路 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. 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.
路 Penetration time of glove material
The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves
and has to be observed.
路 For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g.
Laboratory) gloves made of the following material are suitable:
PVA gloves
路 For the permanent contact of a maximum of 15 minutes gloves made of the following
materials are suitable:
Butyl rubber, BR
Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton)
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Chloroprene rubber, CR
路 Eye protection: not absolutely neccessary
路 Body protection: Light weight protective clothing
