Hand protection Wear protective gloves. It is recommended that gloves are made of the following material:
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Nitrile rubber. Protective gloves according to standard EN 374. The
breakthrough time for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers.
Change protective gloves regularly.
Respiratory protection Oil mist: Respiratory protection must be used if the airborne contamination exceeds the
recommended occupational exposure limit. Wear a respirator fitted with the following
cartridge: Combination filter, type A2/P2. Filter must be changed often enough. Gas and
combination filter cartridges should comply with European Standard EN14387.
Environmental exposure Store in a demarcated bunded area to prevent release to drains and/or watercourses.
