- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
- Store protective clothing separately.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- Not required.
- Skin protection
- Protective gloves.
- The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
- Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
- Material of gloves.
- 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.
