In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer
exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
Short term filter device:
Filter A
NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator
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
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
