8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Technical measures : Use the product in a properly ventilated atmosphere.
When working on enclosed place (tanks, reservoirs...), make sure that atmosphere is
not sufocating and/or wear recommend equipment.
Occupational exposure limit : . oil mist : 10mg/m3, for 15 minutes
. oil mist : 5mg/m3, for 8 hours
Hand protection : Impermeable hydrocarbon-proof gloves.
recommended material: nitrile , neoprene.
The breaking-through times of the same type of glove of different manufacturers can be very
different - even if the layer thickness is similar. Therefore the breaking-through times have to be
found out by the manufacturer of the protection gloves himself.
The demands on the gloves are determined by the condition in practice (f.e. multiple use,
mechanical load, temperature, strength and duration of exposition).
Before choosing suitable gloves, it is recommended for the user to test the gloves.
Eye protection : Goggles, in case of risk of splashing.
Skin and body (other than the hands) protection : As required, wear a face mask, hydrocarbon-proof clothing, and safety boots (when handling
drums).
