If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which
differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the EC approved gloves. This
recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist
and safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our
customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use
scenario.
Body Protection
protective clothing
Respiratory protection
required when dusts are generated.
Our recommendations on filtering respiratory protection are based on the following
standards: DIN EN 143, DIN 14387 and other accompanying standards relating to
