Personal protective equipment
In normal use and handling conditions please refer to the label and/or leaflet. In all other cases
the following recommendations would apply.
Respiratory Protection Wear respirator with an organic vapours and gas filter mask
(protection factor 10) conforming to EN140 type A or equivalent.
Respiratory protection should only be used to control residual risk of
short duration activities, when all reasonably practicable steps have
been taken to reduce exposure at source e.g. containment and/or
local extract ventilation. Always follow respirator manufacturer's
instructions regarding wearing and maintenance.
Hand protection Wear CE Marked (or equivalent) nitrile rubber gloves (minimum
thickness 0,40 mm). Wash when contaminated. Dispose of when
contaminated inside, when perforated or when contamination
outside cannot be removed. Wash hands always before eating,
drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
Eye protection Wear goggles conforming to EN166 (Field of Use 5 or equivalent).
Skin and body protection Wear standard coverall and type 6 suit.
Wear two layers of clothing wherever possible. Polyester/cotton or
cotton overalls should be worn under chemical protection suit and
should be professionally laundered frequently.
If chemical protection suit is splashed, sprayed or significantly
contaminated, decontaminate as far as possible, then carefully
remove and dispose of as advised by manufacturer.
