Exposure controls

Occupational exposure controls:

Respiratory protection: If dust is produced wear P2 mask.

Spezial-Nitril (material thickness > 0.1 mm, break through time
> 480 min class 6) are recommended according to EN 374. In
the case of longer and repeated contact please note that in
practice the penetration times may be considerably shorter
than those determined according to EN 374. The protective
glovesmust always be checked for their sultability for use at
the specific workplace (e.g. mechanical and thermal stress,
antistatic effects, etc.). The gloves must be replaced
immediately at the first signs of wear and tear. We
recommend to change singeleuse protective gloves periodical
and a hand care plan in cooperation with a glove
manufacturer and the trade association in accordance with the
local operating conditions.

Eye protection: Wear tight fitting goggles.

Skin protection: Protective clothing against chemicals. Observe manufacturer's

instructions.
