Safety instructions
The use of Vetter Leak Sealers is made under the precondition that
there is a knowledge of this application and that the operating
instructions are observed.
2.1
General information
The observance of all pertinent regulations with respect to work
protection, safety and accident prevention (e.g. DGUV) as well as
generally recognized technological regulations is a precondition.
Leak sealers must be tested before application to see whether
they are resistant against hazardous materials. For this, refer to the
resistance chart!
The PVC acid protection cover for the leak sealing bag offers incre-
ased protection against acid spray.
Observe the pertinent regulations concerning handling with dan-
gerous liquids.
Protection equipment, such as protection clothing, gloves, hel-
met, face and eye protection, breathing protection and inherent
protection, are to be used onsite depending on the degree of
danger and the situation.
