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-B-E-K-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 gauntlets 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 Nitrile 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.

imidazoline derivative were negative.
For additional information on the hazard of the preparation, please consult section 2 and 12.
ECOTOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS :
MOBILITY :
The environmental fate was estimated using a level III fugacity model embedded in the EPI (estimation program
interface) Suite TM, provided by the US EPA. The model assumes a steady state condition between the total input
and output. The level III model does not require equilibrium between the defined media. The information provided
is intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the defined
conditions of the models.
If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil/sediment in the
approximate respective percentages;
