At formation of dust:
Short term filter device:
Filter P2.
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements
or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's
use.
Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
Protection of hands:
Wear chemically resistant protective gloves (tested according to DIN EN 374)
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the
preparation.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the
degradation
After use of gloves apply skin-cleaning agents and skin cosmetics.
Material of gloves
For not dissolved solid substances following materials may be suitable:
Polychloropren rubber (CR)
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Butyl rubber, BR
Fluorocarbon rubber (FKM)
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.
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: Chemical safety goggles
Body protection: Acid resistant protective clothing
