If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which
differ from EN 374, contact the supplier of the CE 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.

Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of
dangerous substances, and to the specific work-place., The type of protective
equipment must be select ed according to the concentration and amount of the
dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels of
dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use
respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure
