    (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of
    contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
    Wash and dry hands.
    The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and
    the standard EN 374 derived from it.
    Full contact
    Material: Nitrile rubber
    Minimum layer thickness: 0,11 mm
    Break through time: 480 min
    Material tested:Dermatril® (KCL 740 / Z677272, Size M)
    Splash contact

    data source: KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, phone +49 (0)6659 87300,     test method: EN374
    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.
  Body Protection
    Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected
    according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
  Respiratory protection
    Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle
    respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering
    controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use
    respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such
    as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
  Control of environmental exposure
    Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into
    the environment must be avoided.

  Additional Information
    RTECS: Not available
    Lead salts have been reported to cross the placenta and to induce embryo- and feto- mortality. They also
    have teratogenic effect in some animal species. No teratogenic effects have been reported with exposure
    to organometallic lead compounds. Adverse effects of lead on human reproduction, embryonic and fetal
    development, and postnatal (e.g., mental) development have been reported. Excessive exposure can
    affect blood, nervous, and digestive systems. The synthesis of hemoglobin is inhibited and results in
    anemia. If left untreated, neuromuscular dysfunction, possible paralysis, and encephalopathy can result.
    Additional symptoms of overexposure include: joint and muscle pain, weakness of the extensor muscles
    (frequently the hand and wrist), headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, nausea,
    vomiting, blue line on the gums, insomnia, and metallic taste. High body levels produce increased
    cerebrospinal pressure, brain damage, and stupor leading to coma and often death., Exposure to and/or
    consumption of alcohol may increase toxic effects., prolonged or repeated exposure can cause:, Kidney
    injury may occur., To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have
    not been thoroughly investigated.
