limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protection: Use safety glasses (with side shields). Safety glasses (with side shields)
should be consistent with EN 166 or equivalent.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374:
Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred
glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber
("nitrile" or "NBR"). Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA").
Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier
materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). When prolonged or frequently repeated
contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 4 or higher (breakthrough time
greater than 120 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief
contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 1 or higher (breakthrough time
greater than 10 minutes according to EN 374) is recommended. Glove thickness
alone is not a good indicator of the level of protection a glove provides against a
chemical substance as this level of protection is also highly dependent on the specific
composition of the material that the glove is fabricated from. The thickness of the
glove must, depending on model and type of material, generally be more than 0.35
mm to offer sufficient protection for prolonged and frequent contact with the substance.
As an exception to this general rule it is known that multilayer laminate gloves may
offer prolonged protection at thicknesses less than 0.35 mm. Other glove materials
with a thickness of less than 0.35 mm may offer sufficient protection when only brief
contact is expected. NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular
application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all
relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be
handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection),
potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications
provided by the glove supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as
respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator.
Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge, type A
(boiling point >65 ºC, meeting standard EN 14387).
