Personal protective equipment
Hand protection:
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact
(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to
EN 374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and
other
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of
glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions
(e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (EN 166)
General safety and hygiene measures:
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Handle in accordance with
good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
