8. Exposure controls and personal protection


Components with workplace control parameters
50-00-0: formaldehyde
67-56-1: methanol
107-19-7: prop-2-yn-1-ol

Personal protective equipment


Respiratory protection:
Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Particle filter EN 143
Type P3 (high efficiency (solid and liquid particles of toxic and very toxic substances)).
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
nitrile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 mm coating thickness
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literature data and information of
glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions
(e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance with EN 374.
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.
Eye protection:
Tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (EN 166) and face shield.
Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen based on level of activity and exposure., acid- resp. lye-proof apron,
e.g. of rubber (according DIN-EN 467), protection boots, e.g. of rubber (according to DIN-EN 346),
acid-proof chemical protection suit (according to DIN-EN 467)

Further information:
Information on: formaldehyde
Limited evidence of a carcinogenic effect.
After lifelong inhalation exposure to concentrations that were severely damaging to the nasal
epithelium, nasal tumors were induced in rats; in other species these findings were not found or were
considerably less pronounced.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified formaldehyde as a Group 1
(known) human carcinogen based on epidemiological evidence linking formaldehyde exposure to
occurrence of nasopharyngeal cancer.
Current regulatory information is provided in this MSDS.
No adverse health effects are anticipated if recommended personal protective equipment and
industrial hygiene practices are used.
