Personal protective equipment
General protective and hygienic measures
The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.
Respiratory protection: Not required.
Protection of hands:
Protective gloves.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
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.

the workplace.
Additional information: The lists valid during the making were used as basis.
Personal protective equipment
General protective and hygienic measures
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Respiratory protection:
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
self-contained respiratory protective device.
Protection of hands:
Protective gloves.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
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.
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.
Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles.
