Components with workplace control parameters
8.2 Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after
handling the products.
Personal protective equipment
Hygiene measure
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face
after working with the product.
Eye/face protection
Tightly fitting saftey goggles; Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection tested
and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166 (EU).
Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique
(without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose
contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU
Directive 2016/425/EEC and the standard EN ISO 374-1/2016 derived from it.

Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with
multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to
engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air
respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Environment exposure controls
Do not empty into drains.
