Individual Protection Measures, Such as Personal Protective Equipment
GENERAL PROTECTIVE AND HYGIENIC MEASURES: The usual precautionary measures for handling chemicals
should be followed.
BREATHING EQUIPMENT: Not required.
PROTECTION OF HANDS: The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/the
preparation. Selection of the glove material depends on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the
degradation.
MATERIAL OF GLOVES: The selection of the suitable glove 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.
EYE PROTECTION: Goggles recommended during refilling.
