Chemwatch:4650.13 Page 9 of 18 Issue Date:11/12/2018 Version No:7.1.1.1 API Pond Ammonia Test Solution#1 Print Date:06/21/2019 For general applications,gloves with a thickness typically greater than 0.35 mm,are recommended. It should be emphasised that glove thickness is not necessarily a good predictor of glove resistance to a specific chemical,as the permeation efficiency of the glove will be dependent on the exact composition of the glove material. Therefore,glove selection should also be based on consideration of the task requirements and knowledge of breakthrough times. Glove thickness may also vary depending on the glove manufacturer,the glove type and the glove model.Therefore,the manufacturers'technical data should always be taken into account to ensure selection of the most appropriate glove for the task. Note:Depending on the activity being conducted,gloves of varying thickness may be required for specific tasks.For example: Thinner gloves(down to 0.1 mm or less)may be required where a high degree of manual dexterity is needed.However,these gloves are only likely to give short duration protection and would normally be just for single use applications,then disposed of. Thicker gloves(up to 3 mm or more)may be required where there is a mechanical(as well as a chemical) risk i.e.where there is abrasion or puncture potential Gloves must only be worn on clean hands.After using gloves,hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended. Body protection See Other protection below Overalls. PVC Apron. Other protection PVC protective suit may be required if exposure severe. Eyewash unit. Ensure there is ready access to a safety shower. Respiratory protection Type A-P Filter of sufficient capacity.(AS/NZS 1716&1715,EN 143:2000&149:2001,ANSI Z88 or national equivalent) Cartridge respirators should never be used for emergency ingress or in areas of unknown vapour concentrations or oxygen content. r The wearer must be warned to leave the contaminated area immediately on detecting any odours through the respirator.The odour may indicate that the mask is not functioning properly,that the vapour concentration is too high,or that the mask is not properly fitted.Because of these limitations,only restricted use of cartridge respirators is considered appropriate. r Cartridge performance is affected by humidity.Cartridges should be changed after 2 hr of continuous use unless it is determined that the humidity is less than 75%,in which case,cartridges can be used for 4 hr.Used cartridges should be discarded daily,regardless of the length of time used SECTION 9 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Information on basic physical and chemical properties Appearance Reddish-orange liquid with a mild odour;mixes with water.
