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.

amount of dangerous
substances, and to the specific work-place., The type of protective equipment
must be selected
according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the
specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels
of dusts are desired,
use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use respirators and
components tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN
(EU).
