Listing of the hazardous ingredients in section 3, of which the TLV value is known

/

8.2      Exposure controls:

Inhalation protection: use with sufficient exhaust ventilation. If necessary, use an air-purifying face mask in case of respiratory hazards. Use the ABEK type as protection against these troublesome levels.
Skin protection: handling with nitril-gloves (EN 374). Breakthrough time: >480’ Material thickness: 0,35 mm. Thoroughly check gloves before use. Take of the gloves properly without touching the outside with your bare hands. The manufacturer of the protective gloves has to be consulted about the suitability for a specific work station. Wash and dry your hands.
Eye protection: keep an eye-rinse bottle within reach. Tight-fitting safety goggles. Wear a face shield and protective suit in case of exceptional processing problems.
Other protection: impermeable clothing. The type of protective equipment depends on the concentration and amount of hazardous substances at the work station in question.
