Equipment. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Respiratory protection. When spraying the product, use a respiratory protective device. Protection of hands. When skin exposure may occur, advice should be sought from the glove supplier on appropriate types and usage times for this product. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the Degradation. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material cannot be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. Eye protection.
