6 Personal protective equipment Respiratory protection : In inadequately ventilated areas, where workplace limits are exceeded, where unpleasant odours exist or where aerosols are in use, or smoke and mist occur, use self-contained breathing apparatus or breathing apparatus with a type A filter or appropriate combined filter (e.g. where aerosols are in use, or smoke and mist occur, A-P2 or ABEK-P2), in compliance with EN 141. Hand protection : The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other., Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the contact time., Be aware that in daily use the durability of a chemical resistant protective glove can be notably shorter than the break through time measured according to EN 374, due to the numerous outside influences (e.g. temperature). gloves suitable for permanent contact: Material: Nitrile rubber/nitrile latex Break through time: >= 480 min Material thickness: 0.35 mm Material: butyl-rubber Break through time: >= 480 min Material thickness: 0.5 mm gloves suitable for splash protection: Material: Polychloroprene Break through time: >= 240 min Material thickness: 0.5 mm unsuitable gloves Material: Natural rubber/natural latex, Polyvinylchloride Eye protection Skin and body protection Hygiene measures Protective measures : Tightly fitting safety goggles : Protective suit : Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Use barrier cream regularly. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear suitable gloves and eye/face protection. : General industrial hygiene practice.
