8.2 Exposure controls

Exposure controls Common sense and safety precautions should always be used when handling chemicals. Ensure that all
containers are properly labeled to prevent accidental exposure or improper use. Ensure good working
hygiene. Make use of recommended safety equipment. Provide adequate exhaust ventilation, or
ventilation in the workplace. Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Respiration protection Not applicable in normal use, but in case of inhalation the following is recommended:
A respirator with combination filter against particles and dust class 1/inorganic gases class 1, type P1/B1
with filter color white/gray; according to the standard ( NS-EN-143/NS-EN-14387), or fresh air
overpressure mask according to the standard (EN-137 , EN-270). Respiratory protection must be used
if air contamination exceeds occupational exposure levels.
Respiratory equipment with gas filters may only be used combined with good routines for mesh
adaptation and filter change.
Eye protection Not applicable under normal use, but if risk of eye contact the following is recommended:

Continued from last page Revision date: 06.12.2021
Wear safety goggles if there is a risk of dust into the eyes. Eye protection shall be in accordance to EN
166 standard.
Hand protection Wear suitable protective gloves when in risk of direct contact: Protective gloves of Nitrile or Neoprene
is recommended. Glove thickness of 0.35 mm according to standard EN-374.
If continuous contact: Gloves with penetration time above 480 minutes.
If short-term splash/exposure (up to 30 minutes): Gloves with penetration time above 60 minutes.
All specific glove information provided is based on published literature and glove manufacturer
data. Glove suitability and breakthrough time will differ depending on the specific use conditions.
Contact the glove manufacturer for specific advice on glove selection and breakthrough times for your
use. Check and possibly replace worn or damaged gloves. If contact with forearms is likely, wear
gauntlet style. CE standards EN420 and EN374 provide general requirements and lists of glove types.
Skin protection Wear suitable protective clothing.

Additional information It is good industrial hygiene practices to avoid skin contact as much as possible. Do not wear rings,
watches, etc, which are suitable for keeping the product and thereby cause skin reactions. Barrier creams
may help to protect exposed skin, but can not substitute for gloves.
