8.2 Exposure controls

Engineering controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain
airborne levels below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure
limit requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local
exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations.

Individual protection measures

Eye/face protection: Use chemical goggles. Chemical goggles should be consistent with EN
166 or equivalent.
Skin protection
Hand protection: Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374:
Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred
glove barrier materials include: Chlorinated polyethylene. Neoprene.
Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate
("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA"). Viton. Examples of acceptable glove barrier
materials include: Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or
"vinyl"). When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a
protection class of 4 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 120 minutes according
to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a
protection class of 1 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 10 minutes according
to EN 374) is recommended. Glove thickness alone is not a good indicator of the
level of protection a glove provides against a chemical substance as this level of
protection is also highly dependent on the specific composition of the material that the
glove is fabricated from. The thickness of the glove must, depending on model and
type of material, generally be more than 0.35 mm to offer sufficient protection for
prolonged and frequent contact with the substance. As an exception to this general
rule it is known that multilayer laminate gloves may offer prolonged protection at
thicknesses less than 0.35 mm. Other glove materials with a thickness of less than
0.35 mm may offer sufficient protection when only brief contact is expected. NOTICE:
The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a
workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but
not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements
(cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to
glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove
supplier.
Other protection: Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material.
Selection of specific items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will
depend on the task.
Respiratory protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to
exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit

Page 7 of 18
Product name: MOLYKOTE™ BR2 Plus High Performance Grease Revision Date: 18.10.2018
Version: 2.0

requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as

respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. For most conditions, no respiratory protection should be needed;
however, if handling at elevated temperatures without sufficient ventilation, use an approved
air-purifying respirator.
Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge, type A
(boiling point >65 ºC)
