Personal protective equipment
Eye and face protection
Tightly sealed goggles
Skin protection
Protective gloves - The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
Body protection
No further relevant information available
Respiratory protection
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
