Engineering measures
The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending upon potential expo-
sure conditions. Select controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate
measures include:
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations.
Where material is heated, sprayed or mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne concen-
trations to be generated.
General Information:
Define procedures for safe handling and maintenance of controls.
Educate and train workers in the hazards and control measures relevant to normal activities as-
sociated with this product.
Ensure appropriate selection, testing and maintenance of equipment used to control exposure,
e.g. personal protective equipment, local exhaust ventilation.
Drain down system prior to equipment break-in or maintenance.
Retain drain downs in sealed storage pending disposal or subsequent recycle.
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing hands after handling the ma-
terial and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be
cleaned. Practice good housekeeping.
Personal protective equipment
The provided information is made in consideration of the PPE directive (Council Directive
89/686/EEC) and the CEN European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) standards.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet recommended national standards. Check with
PPE suppliers.
Eye protection : If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes,
protective eyewear is recommended.
Approved to EU Standard EN166.
Hand protection
Remarks : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection. PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber
gloves Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical re-
sistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice from
glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.
