Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. After long storage, slight
quantities of carbon monoxide may be formed. To our best knowledge, the occupational exposure
limit (OEL) is not exceeded during use. Entering of tanks must only be performed after intensive
cleaning and when it is ensured that residual vapours have been removed. Consideration of national
laws and international standards for confined space entry should be taken in to account. In case of
doubt, the concentration of Carbon monoxide must be determined.

For the relevant identified use(s) listed in Section 1 the advice mentioned in this section 7 is to be
observed.

SECTION 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

8.1. Control parameters

Components with occupational exposure limits

none

8.2. Exposure controls

Personal protective equipment
Hand protection:
Suitable chemical resistant safety gloves (EN 374) also with prolonged, direct contact
(Recommended: Protective index 6, corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to
EN 374): E.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), butyl rubber (0.7 mm) etc.
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.

Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN 166)
