Safety data sheet

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information
Personal protective equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in
discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/face protection
If eye contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields or chemical type goggles should be worn.
Skin protection
- Hand protection
Wear protective gloves. Butyl rubber gloves are recommended. Breakthrough time >120 min. Be
aware that the liquid may penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable. Suitable gloves can
be recommended by the glove supplier.
- Other
Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended.
Respiratory protection
In case of inadequate ventilation or risk of inhalation of vapours, use suitable respiratory
equipment with gas filter (type A2). If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations
below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries
where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn.
Thermal hazards
Not applicable.
Hygiene measures
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants.
Environmental exposure
controls
Environmental manager must be informed of all major releases.
