Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection
  • Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
  • Tightly sealed goggles.
Skin protection
  • Protective gloves .
  • 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
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Respiratory protection
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.

12. Ecological Information

Ecotoxicity
No further relevant information available.
Persistence and degradability
No further relevant information available.
Bioaccumulative potential
No further relevant information available.
Other adverse effects
  • Water hazard class 2 (Self-assessment): hazardous for water
  • Do not allow product to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.
  • Must not reach bodies of water or drainage ditch undiluted or unneutralized.
  • Danger to drinking water if even small quantities leak into the ground.
  • Also poisonous for fish and plankton in water bodies.
  • Toxic for aquatic organisms
  • Rinse off of bigger amounts into drains or the aquatic environment may lead to increased pH-values. A high pHvalue harms aquatic organisms. In the dilution of the use-level the pH-value is considerably reduced, so that after
  • the use of the product the aqueous waste, emptied into drains, is only low water-dangerous.
