Protection of Hands

Protective gloves to avoid skin problems reduce the wearing of gloves to the required minimum.
Check the permeability prior to each renewed use of the glove. 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 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 cannot be calculated in advance and has therefore
to be checked prior to the application.

Penetration Time of Glove Material

Protective gloves should be replaced at first signs of wear. The exact break through time has to be
found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

Eye Protection

Tightly sealed safety glass.

Body Protection

Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place.
