Tightly sealed goggles.

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. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
• Penetration time of glove material .
• The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Body protection

• Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
• Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
• Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
