$. Exposure controls and personal protection

protective
Respiratory protection:
Breathing protection if dusts are formed, Particle filter EN 143 Type P3, high efficiency, (solid and
liquid particles oftoxic and very toxic substances).
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitablc materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permearion tirne according to EN 374):
polyvinylchloride (PVC) - 0.7 mm coaring thickness
nitile rubber (NBR) - 0.4 ram cuating tbickness
chloroprene mbber (CR) « 0.5 mm coating fhickness
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on own tests, literamure data and informarion of
glove manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions
(e.g. temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-prorecrive glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined in accordance to EN 374.
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because ofgrear diversity af types.
Eyo protection:
Tighty Sitting safery goggles (splash goggles) (EN 166)
General safety and hygiene measures:
Handle 1 accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Do not breathe dust. Keep
away from food, drink and animal focding stufís. No eating, drinking, smoking or sruff-taking ar the
place of work. Take off immediately all contarminated clothes. Hands and/or face should be washed
before breaks and at the end ofthe shift, Employees should shower at the end of the shift.

Persistence and degradability

Elirrination information
Assestment Inorganic product which cannot be eliminated frorn water by biological
purification processes. Can be oxidized to nitrate, or be reduced to
nitrogen, by microorganisms.

Bioaccumulation potential
Because ofthe n-octanol/water distribution coefficient (log Pow) accumulation
in organisms is not to be
expected,

Additional information
Other ecotoxicological advice:
Donotallow to enter soil, waterways or waste water channels. Do Mol release
untreated ínto natural
waters. Inhibition of degradation activity in activated sludge is not to be anticipated during
correct
introduction of low concentrations.
