?Protection of hands:
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 trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of
the protective gloves and has to be observed.
?Eye protection:
Tightly sealed goggles
Safety glasses
