Protection for hands:
Chemical resistant gloves (EN 374) Suitable materials: nitrile rubber - 0,4 mm thick (recommendation: at least protection index 6, corresponding to> 480 minutes permeation time according to EN 374)
Because of the many types of gloves available on the market it is appropriate to comply with the instructions of the manufacturers.
The information contained herein is based on bibliographic data, the information of glove manufacturers, or is derived by analogy with similar substances. It should be borne in mind that, because of several factors (eg. Temperature), the useful life of a glove for protection against chemical agents can be significantly less than the permeation time detected by the tests.
If signs of wear and tear the gloves should be replaced.
Use protective gloves that provides comprehensive protection, approved according to the standard EN 374
(e.g. P.V.C., neoprene or rubber).
Respiratory protection:
In case of dust formation Should workers wear appropriate respiratory protection mask and approved, with filter (s)
Anti gases and vapors (combined filters In accordance with EN 14387: A2 filter P3).
