Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the
lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially
contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection: Use chemical safety goggles.
Skin protection
Hand protection and Body protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab
coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact.
Other skin protection
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on the task
being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Respiratory protection: Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard
if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure
levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
Respirator Type(s) (NIOSH Approved): If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, a
half face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn for up to ten times the exposure
limit or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency or respirator supplier,
whichever is lowest. A full face piece particulate respirator (NIOSH type N100 filter) may be worn up to 50 times the
exposure limit, or the maximum use concentration specified by the appropriate regulatory agency, or respirator
supplier, whichever is lowest. If oil particles (e.g. lubricants, cutting fluids, Glycerin, etc.) are present, use a NIOSH
type R or P filter. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full face piece
positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in Oxygen-
deficient atmospheres.
