Personal protective equipment:

· 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.

· Respiratory protection:

If the WEL value is exceeded.

Filter P3

In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer

exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.

· Protection of hands:

Avoid direct contact with the chemical/ the product/ the preparation by organisational measures.

Use gloves of stable material (e.g. Nitrile) - if necessary tricoted to improve the wearability.

Protective gloves.

Check the condition of the gloves prior to each use.

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the

preparation.

Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the

degradation.

Preventive skin protection by use of skin-protecting agents is recommended.

· Material of gloves

Butyl rubber, BR

Nitrile rubber, NBR

EN 388: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.

Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.35 mm

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.

· Penetration time of glove material

EN 420: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.

For the mixture of chemicals mentioned below the penetration time has to be at least 480 minutes

(Permeation according to EN 374 Part 3: Level 6).

· For the permanent contact gloves made of the following materials are suitable:

Butyl rubber, BR

Nitrile rubber, NBR

· Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials:

Leather gloves

cloth gloves

· Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles

· Body protection: Protective work clothing.
