3 COMPOSITION AND INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS

Solid bases plus additives – see section 16
The CLP classifications required in this section are related to that of the product supplied. To
comply with the legislation the classification of the relevant ingredients of the product, as if they
3.1 Chemical characterization
were present at 100%, must be outlined. Where ingredients are present in the product at very
low concentrations, the level of risk to the user is reduced; hence the reason that the
classifications for the individual components and the product are different
Chemical name Concentration CAS No Classification

Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
Personal Protection Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Avoid contact with the skin.
Prevent contact with the eyes and skin.
In case of brief exposure use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
respirator that is independent of circulating air. As appropriate for the employee exposure, use a
Respiratory protection
NIOSH approved respirator and cartridge.
As appropriate for the employee exposure, use a NIOSH approved respirator and cartridge.
Protective gloves: Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition. The glove
material must be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the
degradation
Skin protection Material of gloves: The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also
on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a
preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material cannot be calculated in advance
and has therefore to be checked prior to the application. Recommended thickness of the material: ≥
0.5 mm
Eye protection Tightly sealed goggles
