Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection: In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. When workers are facing
concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators..

Hand protection: Wear protective gloves. The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the
producers of the protective gloves. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and
breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into
consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger
of cuts, abrasion, and the contact time.

gloves: nitrile rubber

Skin and body protection: Chemical resistant apron. long sleeved clothing. boots.
