Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

Tightly sealed goggles.

Skin protection

Protective gloves. 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. The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Body protection

Protective clothing.

Respiratory protection

In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.

• Corrosive
• Irritant

12. Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity

No further relevant information available.

Persistence and degradability

No further relevant information available.

Bioaccumulative potential

No further relevant information available.

Other adverse effects

• Water hazard class 1: slightly hazardous for water.
• Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
• Must not reach bodies of water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized.
• Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to decreased pH-values. A low pH-value harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably increased, so that after the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
