monitored.
■ Additional information: The lists valid during the drafting process were used as basis.
■ Personal protective equipment:
■ General safety and hygiene measures:
The usual precautionary measures for handling chemicals should be followed.
■ Respiratory protection: Not mandatory.
■ Protection of hands:
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product / the substance / the compound. Due to missing
tests, no recommendation can be made on the glove material for the product / the compound / the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material in consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation. Not
mandatory.
■ Material of gloves
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on other quality characteristics and
varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a compound made of several substances, the resistance
of the glove material cannot be calculated in advance and therefore, has to be checked prior to the application.
■ Penetration time of glove material
The exact penetration time has to be obtained from the safety glove manufacturer and must be observed.
■ Eye protection: Safety glasses recommended for refilling.
■ Body protection: Safety work clothing
