Appropriate engineering controls
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and
immediately after handling
the product.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and
approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

test method: EN374
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions
which differ from EN 374,
contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is
advisory only and must
be evaluated by an Industrial Hygienist familiar with the specific situation
of anticipated use by our
customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific
use scenario.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment
must be selected
according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the
specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a
full-face particle
respirator type N99 (US) or type P2 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup
to engineering
controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face
supplied air respirator. Use
respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such
as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
