intensive or longer exposure use respiratory protective device that is independent of
circulating air.
\u00b7 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
\u00b7 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.
\u00b7 Penetration time of glove material
\u00b7 The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective
gloves and has to be observed.
