Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection
Tightly sealed goggles
Skin protection
  • Protection of hands:
  • The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
  • Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
  • Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
  • Material of gloves
  • 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 can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
  • Penetration time of glove material
  • The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Body protection
protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
  • In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
  • respiratory protective device that is independent of circulating air.
