8. EXPOSURE LIMITS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Additional information about No further data available
design of technical systems : See Point 7
Components with critical values
that require monitoring at the
workplace : The product does not contain any relevant quantities of
materials with critical values that have to be monitored at the
workplace.
Additional information : The lists that were valid during the compilation were used as
basis.
Personal protective equipment
General protective and hygienic
measures : Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.
Instantly remove any contaminated garments.
Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
Use skin protection cream for preventive skin protection.
Do not inhale gases / fumes / aerosols.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
Do not eat, drink or smoke while working.
Breathing equipment : Use breathing protection in case of insufficient ventilation.
If all workplace limits are observed and good ventilation is
ensured, no special precautions necessary.
Protection of hands : Protective gloves
To avoid skin problems reduce the wearing of gloves to the
required minimum.
Check the permeability prior to each anewed use of the
glove.
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.
Eye protection : Tightly sealed safety glasses
Body protection : Protective work clothing
Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the
working place.
