In the immediate working surroundings there must be Provide eye shower and label its location conspicuously
Skin protection
Hand protection
Suitable gloves type Butyl caoutchouc (butyl rubber) NBR (Nitrile rubber) DIN EN 374 Breakthrough times and
swelling properties of the material must be taken into consideration.
Respiratory protection
Suitable respiratory protection apparatus
Filter types: A, B, E, K. Class 1: Maximum permitted contaminant concentration in inhaled air = 1000 mL/m3 (0.1 %
by vol.); class 2: maximum permitted contaminant concentration in inhaled air = 5000 mL/m³ (0.5 % by vol.); class
3: maximum permitted contaminant concentration in inhaled air = 10000 mL/m³ (1.0 % by vol.) If technical
exhaust or ventilation measures are not possible or insufficient, respiratory protection must be worn.
General health and safety measures
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothes. Remove contaminated, saturated clothing immediately. Separate storage of
work clothes.
Occupational exposure controls
Technical measures and the application of suitable work processes have priority over personal protection equipment.
Environmental exposure controls
In case of gas escape or of entry into waterways, soil or drains, inform the responsible authorities. Ensure all wastewater is collected and treated via a waste water treatment plant.
