standard can be found in EN 166.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION :
Where concentrations in air may exceed the limits given in this section, the use of a half face filter mask or air
supplied breathing apparatus is recommended. A suitable filter material depends on the amount and type of
chemicals being handled. Consider the use of filter type: A-P The applicable European standard can be found
in EN 140, EN 137, EN 143 and EN 14387. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown
concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required,
institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and
inspection.

HAND PROTECTION :
When handling this product, the use of chemical gloves is recommended. The choice of work glove depends on
work conditions and what chemicals are handled, but we have positive experience under light handling
conditions using gloves made from PVC Gloves should be replaced immediately if signs of degradation are
observed. Breakthrough time not determined as preparation, consult PPE manufacturers. The applicable
European standard can be found in EN 374.
