路 Additional information: The lists that were valid during the creation were used as basis.
路 Personal protective equipment:
路 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.
Store protective clothing separately.
路 Breathing equipment:
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer
exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
路 Protection of hands:
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the
preparation/ the chemical mixture.
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 Eye protection: Goggles recommended during refilling.
